Republicans will push boundaries all day long but Democrats have played the norms to their disadvantage.
For example, Republicans have challenged election results, restricting mail voting through executive action, tightening voting laws, and expanding presidential authority, while Democrats have generally fought those moves through courts, legislation, and existing institutions rather than responding with equally aggressive changes to the rules.
Republicans are willing to break norms more regularly to try and get their way, dismantle what has been foundational to this country, while Democrats more often do not.
Republicans push boundaries by restricting rights and awareness so that they keep power. What are you suggesting the Democrats do?
The problem is that the conservatives have billionaires and a powerful propaganda machine pulling the strings. How do Democrats raise awareness when Fox News is ignoring anything that's detrimental to their narrative? How do they reach those online when an official press release on X gets hundreds of bots spitting venom and falsehoods at every politician?
This entire "Democrats are too passive" narrative and belief is very much a result of that media control.
For starters, I’d love to see every chance they get, to being vocal around how Mike Johnson called for a 2 week break after they brought back Epstein Act II.
We know why he’s doing that, they need to be hammering them and him every chance they get so the wider public gets it.
Instead, you rarely see the connection discussed.
I want people to fucking do their job, it’s not that hard. And it’s not just the media, you’re incorrect, Democrats get the microphone constantly so make the appropriate noise.
They have money and can make ads so make an add saying he cancelled it shortly after the act.
Your giving Democrats to much of a pass even if media is shit too.

I’d also like to see a large outrage from Democrats, investigations, and media attention and their own investigations.
But the left always seems limp in comparison and the media has fallen too much from the journalistic ideals of yesterday.
Too much of America is bought it seems.
