would actually make it illegal for the US to continue supplying them with arms and military assistance, as per the US' own laws

How quaint, you still think the US is a nation of laws. I hope you're right. I just don't believe so.

What do you think they should be doing, if not this?

Getting rid of the fascists in the white house, the supreme court and congress, while cleaning up their own internal corruption. Ask Chuck Schumer what his job is.

Me reading the article and understanding the reason for this action, and pointing out how ironic it is to be grumbing that 'the Democrats aren't doing their jobs' on a news article post about the Democrats who are actually doing their jobs is definitely not the same as having trust in the US legal system, or believing it will work.

Getting rid of the fascists in the white house, the supreme court and congress, while cleaning up their own internal corruption. Ask Chuck Schumer what his job is.

And how do they do this, as legally appointed representatives in your govt? Can't win a vote in the senate, barely in the house?

Its easy to throw stones but I never see suggestions. And then whenever they do actually try legal actions and maneuvers toward solutions (ie: their goddamn job) there's whining that they're not doing anything ๐Ÿคท

Do you expect dems to just drag Trump and the fascists out with their bare hands? A coup? Because if you're waiting for your moderate party politicians to do those things, you're dreaming.

I expect the dems to get rid of the controlled opposition faction within their ranks and be a real oposition for once. This is very very bad political theatre.
