Summary

House Democrats are frustrated with progressive groups like MoveOn and Indivisible, which are pressuring them to oppose the Trump administration more aggressively.

In a closed-door meeting, lawmakers complained about grassroots activists driving constituent calls demanding obstructionist tactics.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer defended the party’s strategy, saying, “We are picking the most important fights and lying down on the train tracks on those fights.”

However, a CBS News/YouGov poll shows 65% of Democratic voters want all-out opposition to Trump’s agenda.

    progressive groups like MoveOn and Indivisible

    I’ve seen a lot of people asking how they can get involved and make a difference. Well, there’s your answer. If those are the guys the Dems are mad at then they’re the ones making the most impact.

      I’ve been commenting this on every single YouTube video I watch. "America is in peril. If you’re American and you’re reading this we need to fight. Join or create a chapter of Indivisible in your area and get your community in on it. Doesn’t matter if you’re Republican or Democrat, fascism is good for neither. I love you all and we’ll get through this. "

      That’s not all I’m doing either.
