I blocked a lot of political keywords, so I am genuinely asking because I might be ill informed. What concrete actions have the Democrats taken to block, stop, or reverse Trumps illegal actions?

Again, I am genuinely asking.

I would like an answer for this as well. We've seen exactly one filibuster, which wasn't against any particular piece of legislation or appointee.

Democrats oppose progressives, not republicans.

    That's because Republicans aren't as much of a threat to their office as progressives. Some Dems are sitting in basically lifetime seats and they wouldn't want that disrupted. The Ds haven't done anything significant yet at all. And it won't come from Democrats. It'll come from the people if it happens at all. And once something big happens by and from the people, that's when the Ds will step in and take a side. Fucking cowards.

    Progressives oppose progressives and liberals try to keep the world running.

    liberals try to keep the world running.

    The world is built on the backs of the workers you hate.

    I'm a worker and not the self hating variety.

    Just enough of a realist to know the progressive's biggest enemy is themselves.

    If that's the case, your shitty pro-genocide anti-worker wing of the party wouldn't need to keep doing everything they can to shut out progressives.

    The pro-genocide argument is the exact same as anti-abortionist's 'would someone think of the poor babies!'

    Nice pivot away from your bullshit about the progressives opposing themselves.

    Palestinians are people. Fetuses are not.

    The least disgusting thing about you is your username.

    I mean, people have no empathy for people we can't see IRL, with our own eyesballs, not pictures and recordings, being it closer home: my fellow workers are already born humans. But people have no empathy for them either.

    I wish I could find that post, I believe it was on hex, about the liberal zero sum game. Because it hit dead center, hard, for me.

    It's okay to admit that you don't like me but you love arguing with me.

    I enjoy our conversations.

    That's not very nice I was engaged in a civil conversation with you and now you want to call me names?

    Argue with your ideas not your insults.

    You're better than this!

    There's nothing civil about coping for genocide by comparing outrage directed at those enabling and supporting it to anti-abortion rhetoric.
