“Growing a spine” is contradictory to “going low”.

Watch CSPAN and read Congress.gov before criticizing the only people in our government trying to put a stop to this.

Democrats forced three 15-day votes against Trump’s executive orders, confirmed Biden’s pending judicial appointments when Republican attendance was low, publicly call out Trump’s overstepping of his powers and failure to uphold the Constitution, filed articles of impeachment against Trump, voted against deportations and tariffs, and are the ones bringing these cases to the courts. They DOA’d the only supermajority bills that the Republicans have introduced, including the SAVE Act, which would have disenfranchised married women and trans people from voting. They held four 24+ hour hearings, debating each provision of the reconciliation bill, line-by-line, just to get Republicans on record defending each position. They have repeatedly called for Hegseth and Gabbard to step down, to their faces in congressional hearings, for reasons of incompetence and conflict of interest, respectively.

It's funny that I see this exact same argument repeated frequently, regardless of which political leanings the forums I'm reading take.

There are bad actors out there seeking to torment good people until they snap and actually internalize the idea that behaving poorly, deliberately, is a good idea. They don't care one bit what you believe, only that they don't like you and want you to hurt yourself.

Stay safe.

It sounds a lot like OP want the DNC to shift right?
