Summary
Senator Bernie Sanders condemned Trump’s order to freeze all federal loans and grants, calling it a “dangerous move towards authoritarianism” and “blatantly unconstitutional.”
The directive, exempting Social Security and Medicare, is expected to impact universities, nonprofits, food assistance programs, health centers, and disabled veterans.
Sanders emphasized that Congress holds the “power of the purse” and urged Americans to oppose the order.
Attorneys general are preparing legal challenges to overturn the freeze.
“Yeah, every single Republican hates us and are openly corrupt, but like 2 Dems (usually caucusing Independents) are also bad.”
Im confused, are we supposed to pretend that there aren’t also democrats that are voting for Trump initiatives? Because trying to remove accountability for that seems idiotic.
Drawing attention to the outliers that vote against party lines is something that is often done by concern trolls to argue both sides are the same and sow apathy for democrats. This is most noticeable around election time.
You may not be trying to do that but your comment resembles what they would say. Usually blaming all democrats for the actions of a few going against the party.
The Democrats (there’s five or six of them) that are voting for Trumps insane bills need to be named and shamed. It doesn’t have have anything to do with “both sides”.
If you don’t want those laws to pass, vote and vocally support parties in a way that opposes Republicans. Shitting on Dems in this context will give us: fuck all, jack shit, and a real bad time.
Republicans don’t shit on themselves and each other over all the horrible stuff they do. They celebrate it. And that strategy is winning against us.
Im not American, I’m just looking on in shock and horror at your two party system and the justifications you all seem to give your favourite team honestly.
Im not understanding what you’re trying to say. There are five or so Democrats voting for Trumps antics. And yes, all the Republicans vote down the line, that’s what they do.
I’m trying to say we need to support Democrats unconditionally if we want anything to improve. Any Democrat is better than Any Republican.
Whats your example on 5?
