Talking is the only power Democrats have. At least he's doing something.
I think if this starts a new strategy where the DNC turns Congress into molasses with these kinds of marathon speeches, I'll be more inclined to say it is actually doing something. But let's say it's a one off, what did it accomplish?
What exactly should they be doing instead?
I'm not exactly sure, but something more akin to what we wish members of the Social Democratic Party would have done in the Reichstag in '33.
The US isn't a parliamentary democracy. There's no coalition to be formed with other parties to go against Republicans. There are only two parties.
So what exactly do you want them to do?
the way our elections work is the coalitions form in the spring and the elections occur in the fall. at this point the only thing the dems can do with the cons holding all three centers of power is employ stalling tactics
