His vote has more weight than mine thanks to the electoral college.

I never really thought about it but that's a really good point.
Conservative news is going to listening to Trump, a president who's made it very clear he doesn't want people who oppose his agenda receiving airtime.
And those outlets make up a bigger piece of the pie than most realize.

Yeah. Republican voters are a unified bunch. Going against Trump would be political suicide for a member of the GOP.

Tuberville stopped motion within the Senate. Servicemen couldn't be promoted because he stalled Congress.
This is completely different. As the minority party, Dems don't have the votes to push Congress to act on things happening outside the U.S. Capitol Building.

Is that because you think it would actually make something happen or do you just want them to act angry?

Okay, that's definitely something I haven't heard before. You've got my interest.
So what would either one accomplish? How would that be better than taking part and voting against?

Again, please correct me if I'm wrong. I really want to be really wrong about this.

They can obstruct bills put forth in the chambers, but the minority vote is powerless against executive orders.
That's why Republicans complained so much when Obama signed so many executive orders during his first term. There was nothing they could do until they took back the majority in 2010.

I'm pretty sure that if they put their whole Congressional bussy behind it, they still couldn't get anything done.

Again, if there's anything Dems in Congress can do, I want to hear about it. Seriously. I'll fully jump on board.
But I think the issue is that the Schumers of the world can't do anything...Congressy about anything that's happening right now, and that sucks cuz all we can do is feel powerless.

That's where I'm looking for more, I think.
"Do not collaborate" isn't really on the table yet. These are executive orders, not bills. Lawsuits can be started by anyone (and are), but probably won't go be won. Comms are happening, but I think most Dems are dissatisfied with the ineffectiveness.

What would you like for Congress to do in this moment? I'm not asking in the typical condescending way. I want to know if there is something they can actually do to affect change.

I think it's probably the latter.
If we're being fair, Teslas had huge problems before Musk exposed himself as a right-wing nutjob. Tesla's have been catching fire since their first model rolled off the truck.

Yeah, I don't get their point either.
A few Samsung phones overheated and blew up a few years ago, for example, but that was a huge deal. They were banned from airplanes, there was a massive recall, and the company took a big hit to its reputation.
Why aren't people talking about Tesla fires more?

You gave different start dates for COVID but none of those lined up with your point about 2019/2020.
And throughout all that you posted a bunch of weird photos and memes and weird conspiracy theories. Lots of "I think I'm pwning the libs!" energy.

You talked about Trump's post-COVID economy as if that was a thing that actually existed.
You said Dems had way more COVID deaths. I asked you what timeframes you were looking at, but you ignored that too.

I explained that the price of gas and groceries dropped under Trump because of the pandemic. That's what happens when "the Dems shut down the economy" and everyone is driving and eating less.
But you ignored that point.
