The state of US politics is disturbing. Trump is going after people in a cruel and vindictive way that authoritarians do when they think they’re invincible. Yet the Democrats, especially Chuck Schumer can’t figure out what to do about it. They’re not even a loyal opposition. Instead they’re standing on the sidelines watching the American system of separation of powers get replaced with a unitary power of the executive. Despite this being the fundamental justification of legitimacy for the while government.

I recommend folks read this essay by nostr:npub1fdpmg4ql7gv94exjj5uj53w2yv8wy75x9sp7velwurzmlcpvjsvqz8cay5 calling on Schumer to resign. It’s compelling argument.

Schumer knows Trump is doing the right thing. Things Schumer or any Democrat could never do even if they wanted to.

Schumer is offering himself to be a punching bag.

I suspect he is a crypto-patriot. This has been on top of my mind for about the past year, and my confirmation bias is setting off alarms.

Executive has way too much power.

Neither the government nor other men can save you. Worrying about this is a false Hegelian Dialectic.

Your mistaking Trump's bravery for feelings of invisibility. Most of the Democrats should resign at this point. The good one's are already gone. This isn't to put Republicans on a pedestal, just my view how hopeless the Dems have gotten.

In terms of separation of power I must ask have any Dems turned over power to the states much as Trump has? When he actually separates from power people act like he's attacking their rights.

The article doesn't seem to have arguments... Just someone's feelings... that I happen to half agree with. Would agree more if they called for more resignations.

Urban Ore workers started a strike today in Berkeley. AFAIK No politicians were consulted.
