House Democratic lawmakers reportedly used a closed-door meeting earlier this week to vent their frustrations with progressive advocacy groups that have been driving constituent calls and pressuring the party to act like a genuine opposition force in the face of the Trump administration’s authoritarian assault on federal agencies and key programs.

The Democrats are responsible for losing this election to an unpopular fascist by failing to represent the demands that the majority of their constituents were demanding. Start demanding more from your representatives.
You have incredible patience.
So you want them to do the things they’re already doing to delay votes that will happen in short matter regardless of what they do?
Reminder that only simple majority of 51 breaks filibuster for cabinet and judge confirmation hearings since 2013 and 2017 respectively. The DNC stalled for 30 hours because they were allowed to by the GOP, and the hearing still went through as planned. Nothing can stop this.
The Republican party has used every dirty tactic they can to advance their agenda regardless of their current count of votes in the house or Senate. Remember how they refused to confirm a Supreme Court pick for over a year on the off chance that they’d win the 2016 election? Remember how they stonewalled and blocked anything and everything every way they could during the Obama, Trump and Biden administrations? There is no “they go low we go high” because all that gets is more incrementalism
“Every dirty trick” is having actual majorities without independents to caucus. That is exactly why Republicans were able to deny the Obama appointee.
