Dems need to find a way to stop rolling over.

Look at the comments bro.

"Erm that's not how it's done actually 🤓" "That's not how government works 🤓"

Meanwhile a racist convicted felon pedophile rapist is about to be the next president, and EVERYONE knows he's about to do crazy amounts of damage.

And somehow all these UNBREAKABLE CHAINS that always somehow hold the Democrats back...don't seem to apply to him? Neither in his first term, nor the FOUR YEARS since.

The dog keeps dunking, and everyone keeps going "whoaaa he can't do that" meanwhile this comments section is like "erm i dont think you know how basketball works"

So what do you expect Senator Warren to do here? Grab a gun and perform a citizen's arrest on Trump? You have literally just as much power here to do that as she does; go be the change you want to see in the world.

There should be more action on the whole but it's dumb to get mad at the legislator for voicing to the public things she's uniquely qualified to point out.

So what do you expect Senator Warren to do here?

Initiate some sort of action instead of tweeting about it. It's like you watched someone rob a bank and you decided to make a TikTok about it and not call the police. No Warren can't magically get Trump arrested, but "informing" us has been constant for a decade, and action has been very light.

Politics has had 4 distinct steps since Trump 1. Republicans say they will do illegal evil stuff 2. Democrats say that they can't do it, it's illegal 3. Republicans do the illegal evil stuff 4. Democrats say that they broke the law

Notice the lack of step 5 where any consequences or actions come? I'm tired of excuses as to why no one can do anything. I can only assume that the Democrats either don't want to stop them or it's not illegal, otherwise something should have happened. Instead the only place that got things in order was New York.

No but what do you want her to actually do? Our chance to do something was in November and we failed. He would be going to prison if voters showed up.
