He said speaking up during the address was the best way “get across to a person who uses his incivility, who uses his incivility against our civility.”

Why didn’t every Democrat step forward and PHYSICALLY bar him from being removed. They just sat there and let him be ejected. STAND THE FUCK UP
Because they’re weaker than wet tissue paper.
True, unless it comes to fighting progressives in their own party. Then they suddenly remember how to fight.
I thought the same thing. Then I thought about how powerful of a visual it would have been for each one of them, in turn, to cause a disruption and be escorted out. Let the cameras pan over a half filled chamber after 2 hours of meticulous protesting. That image would be in history books 100 years from now, assuming we all survive the next 4.
But that would have put their corporate donations in jeopardy!
Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.
thats exactly that, with Klabauchers just staring at her phone.
Won’t someone think of the corporate donors!
Trump is an old fart. He’s not going to stand up there for 6 hours speaking. If, one-by-one, every Democrat made a scene and got walked out they would’ve been there until midnight and Trump having gotten through almost none of his speech.
they all dont want to be there, they just want to ride on the grift the gop started, and benfitting from the same donors.
Even when they do something they’ll get criticized.
Every. Single. Time.
Nothing will ever be enough.
Are you blind? Or just intentionally dense. We are here, in this thread LITERALLY praising Al Green, a democrat, for DOING SOMETHING
I mean, the OP comment I’m responding to is questioning why every other Dem didn’t do the same so…are you just intentionally dense or…?
Hence the part about “it won’t ever be enough.”
Try reading before typing next time.
Edit- down vote all you want. You know I’m right.
Even AOC sat quietly? Why wasn’t she fucking protesting?
She wasn’t there apparently?
Well that disappointing in itself. She should been there protesting and making our voices heard.
Eh I’m fine with them not attending. Let him speak to a half empty chamber. Bonus points if they spend the time organizing or rallying elsewhere.
The dude relies on you following rules of decorum while he himself breaks every single rule. Why should Democrats play his game? It’s extremely likely that it was mostly Republicans watching the thing anyway.
Not saying I disagree with your premise.
However, there are some strange brew rules that come into play depending on the #of reps in attendance in the house. You dwindle the dem #s enough and you end up allowing the reps the ability to run amok with the kinds of legislation they’re salivating to pass.
I’m sure this was at top of mind for some of the folks in attendance.
Congressional rules are meaningless. They are not the constitution. If the Democrats are going to just sit idle because of “congressional rules” then they might as well start using the constitution as toilet paper
That’s why there’s also quorum rules. There has to be a minimum of X% of the congresspeople present for anything to count and I’m 99.9% certain that all of the Dems leaving would bring the number present under that even if every single Republican was present.
Democrats are spineless cowards and/or complicit.
people who criticize dems from their sofa are the secret spinless trump supporters
How’s that party whip taste? Sounds like you’d do well in an authoritarian one-party state as long as the party pretends to be in partial agreement with you.
I hear Shanghai is lovely this time of year…
how do the meds taste? meatloaf on wednesdays. that’ll be nice
What on earth are you blathering about?
