It’s more that they can’t do what’s necessary, because they can’t become a worker party. All of their base and funding comes from the bourgeoisie, they aren’t connected with the masses, and even if they tried they would risk severing their real base. The point of the meme is to point out that the Democrats can never be a worker party, so an alternative must be built, like PSL.
They could organize protests, they could help workers unionize, they could put their necks out and disrupt things, they could do anything besides stand by and say “oh no, this is so bad.” They have a gigantic megaphone and the ears of almost half the country, their power isn’t limited to the votes they have or don’t have. I want them to be making plans that are bold, plans where they feel a need to account for “how do we make sure this doesn’t turn into an outright riot though,” the things you’d do if you actually believed the rhetoric about Trump being a threat to democracy.
Assuming this is in good faith, I would say that the Republicans opposition is pretty right the last few terms. The democrats refuse to learn anything from them though. I don’t need a Democrat screaming that Trump rapes babies or whatever. But like, maybe not voting hand in hand with the Republicans would be a start. Using the debt ceiling fight to gain some ground against the rich. Being on the side of any union at all.
The Republicans are a mass shooter massacring children inside a school
The Democrats are the Uvalde police department
They’re just standing around holding their dicks LETTING it happen completely unopposed.
Best analogy I’ve seen so far, thanks so much.
Not all of them, but yeah you’re right.
Secretly cheering on the school shooters
What do you propose they do?

Anything
Such as?
Not stand around outside doing nothing.
So nothing specific?
They’re elected for a reason; if we have to spearhead the action, then they’re pointless and shouldnt be there
They’re the ones making millions do it as a career. They should at least be able to do something.

Take their hands off their cocks/clams and stop playing the insider trader market. To start with.
