Funny how AIPAC money so easily sways their convictions

It’s not cowardly, they’re doing what they are paid to do. Morally bankrupt maybe is a better descriptor.

The classic “let’s vote so we can get them on record” like that’s a real gotcha!

Bash democratic leaders all you want but first stop the Republican Party from stealing the elections.

But the republican leaders who actually have the power to do something get a free pass for their cowardly inaction???!!

They are owned by the same wealthy and powerful people as Trump and the GOP. No reason why we should expect anything different from them.

Trot out the flow chart where all lines end up at “Democrats bad”.

I do think that in general their response to this has been weak but somebody please explain why we keep holding the party that holds no real power in this administration accountable for the actions of the party in power in all three branches of government?

Why would Chuck ‘Do anything for Israel’ Schumer want to stop a US-Israel joint attack? The man does not hold American interests above those of Israel. And Jeffries is weak and can’t even stand behind abolishing ICE.
I’d call it gross incompetence, but they’re very effective at doing nothing. They need to go and democrats with actual spines need to step in.

Appears they don’t want Congress to do its job either. Maybe due to AIPAC.

Have people actually been listening to the responses or are folks just reflexively commenting?
Jeffries was saying yesterday that this is an illegal act and a war powers bill needs to be voted on ASAP to stop this.
I don’t think anyone is shedding tears for the deaths of that regime’s leaders but what Democrat is actually in support of having done this?
The reality is Democrats have no power at the moment to stop it. All they can do is speak out, which they are.

Like clockwork, GOP does something and the articles start coming out criticizing Democrats. And this sub eats it up.
Imagine a world where Biden has trouble pulling out of Afghanistan, and rather than the internet being clogged with articles and talk about how badly Biden is doing it is instead all about why is the GOP is letting him botch it. Would never happen.

Yes this is the administration that recasts everything. Cruelty is cleverness. War is peace. Peace is cowardly.

You’re right, it is cowardly.

Common Dreams is at best a blatant grift to farm rage bait clicks for revenue and at worst an actual psyop campaign to keep liberals infighting. They are manipulating you, believe anything they say at your own risk.

Current Dem leadership is entrenched with aipac. They can’t speak out about this

They doing what their corporate overlords are telling them to do!! I’m not surprised one bit since democrats are owned by the same people that own republicans. Any democrat that isn’t a progressive is Planned Opposition

I guess they forgot who’s in control the Senate in the house. Sure it’s all the Democrats fault.

Complicit is the word they’re looking for, not cowardly.
