"Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are architects of the crisis that allowed Trump's fascism to arise and succeed," argued one progressive organizer. "They have zero credibility to be leading the fights we face today."

House Democratic lawmakers reportedly used a closed-door meeting earlier this week to vent their frustrations with progressive advocacy groups that have been driving constituent calls and pressuring the party to act like a genuine opposition force in the face of the Trump administration’s authoritarian assault on federal agencies and key programs.

    “There are a lot of good billionaires out there that have been with Democrats, who share our values, and we will take their money. But we’re not taking money from those bad billionaires.” - New DNC head

    It’s a good thing we can all agree on what the definition of good and bad is, and how its applied in our society right?

          But then they’re not a billionaire anymore.

          They might even have been a multi billionaire with multiple heirs so now you’ve just more billionaires!

          Nah.

          Seize their means and make them work a minimum wage job.

            The time for civilized resolution to this problem has come and gone. Billionaires decided they want to live in a “might makes right” world. Fine by me. We’ll just have to show them what that looks like when the teams are split 120,000 to 1.
