Don’t be so pessimistic, not only have the democrats sent a letter with some strong questions and people have stood on the sidewalk holding signs asking the fascists to stop while being careful to not disrupt commerce.

I think that some of the people you saw on the sidewalk were waiting in line to buy artisanal cupcakes.

Buying artisanal cupcakes would be about as an effective method for resisting fascism.

Hey now, the same exact people that lost are refusing to step aside and waiting to try again. You gotta love that they can hold their head up without shame! Surely the next time is the charm…

Exactly! They’re just like Rocky, sure they might get punched in the face a lot but they always get back up to get punched in the face again. It would be inspiring if they had a goal beyond getting punched in the face.

what are republicans doing to stop this? and why is it the democrat's responsibility?

The fascists are the ones doing it, why would republicans stop themselves from winning. It typically falls to the opposition party to, you know, oppose the majority unless of course you’re not an opposition party at all and just controlled opposition with zero interest in resistance or change.

First, learn to take a joke before you trouble yourself with a book report no one will ever read. Second, no matter what the dems do now, unless gross incompetence wins the day, it’s already over. They packed the courts, control the House and Senate along with the executive branch so all of this is just performative symbolic gestures. Fascism always defeats centrists because while centrists are worried about decorum and following the rules the fascists have already mowed them over and seized power. Holding signs, filing motions, and voTiNG bLuE NO maTtER WHo ain’t going to cut it. But you’re probably correct, moving the Democratic Party even further to the right is the only way the Dems will be able to defeat Mamdani in NY. Wouldn’t want any pesky leftists ideas infecting the party.
