Democrats should be rallying for an american revolution right now, but they don't have the spine to do that.
3 weeks late
Some one should call and tell them about elon musk.
"Here's this whistleblower website so you can report all these illegal and unauthorized activity so we can bitch about you expecting us to be the opposition party and then do nothing about it."
They should really use SecureDrop
I'd trust the Democrats to protect a whistleblower like smoking would protect me from cancer
To who? Y'all haven't done shit and are letting it all happen.
Honest question here. What are they supposed to do that they aren't doing? They are in the minority in the House and Senate and have limited options besides bitching about what's going on and trying to draw attention to the criminality.
For one, not voting to confirm the most awful, dangerous, unqualified cabinet nominees this nation has ever seen. That would have been a good start.
Blocking nominations, slowing down general procedures, grandstanding about every fucked up stupid thing that Republicans are doing, Lock up the Senate and the house with debate and bullshit, introduce bills that would do the things that people actually want even if they're not going to get voted on, wherever possible don't cooperate, stop confirming his appointments, etc.
The Democrats should not be letting Republicans get anything done. Republicans always manage to rule from the minority by just being obstinate little shits. The Democrats should at least try that.
Donald Trump must be stopped and since that's not possible the least they should be doing is slowing his roll.
Optimistically, they're supposed to be organizing people onto the streets by calling out Trump's bullshit. I can't disagree that their actions have been underwhelming as a group so far (good on Bernie and AoC though) but I think this is a good move.
The Trump administration is clearly willing to silence whistle-blowers so we need something outside the GOP's reach to document these issues.
At least pretending like they care would be a good start. They unanimously approved a few Trump appointees on the promise that the republicans might reconsider one or two and whoops the dems once again got the football pulled out from in front of them. They literally cannot learn the lesson that bargaining with the republicans gets them nothing in return ever because they are the only ones who will hold up their end of the deal…
At a bare minimum they can stop doing that.
Not throwing the election by abandoning the working class would've been a good start.
Respect the law to the same extent that the opposition does. Direct Action included.
There's no answer. People wanna bitch all day is all. Perhaps if a shit ton of people didn't decide it didn't matter in November the Democrats could have actual power to do something.
That's the new "get your name on a list" website. If I'm going to be a whistleblower, the last person I'm going to is a politician.
And since the Democrats aren't in power, there's fuck all they can do with the complaints.
I wouldn’t trust this for a minute. They’ll subpoena the records and retaliate against them and there’s nothing anyone will do about it beyond complaining about petty things like it being unconstitutional
why does the expanded hamburger icon say "about chuck"? is this chuckie's website or something?
consider me out of the loop and eli5 on these matters.
Chuck Schumer is the Senate Minority Leader, so he's the head of the democratic senators.
thank you, that explains the attribution perfectly!
Probably so they have people to turn in to save their own asses. They are just as bent as Trump but they have "decorum".
Blow the whistle (toot toot toot toot)
