“Alito’s next opinion piece in the WSJ is about to be ‘I am a little king, actually. The Constitution doesn’t explicitly say I’m not,’” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) quipped.
If we’re gauging by their actions and the results, their goal is to act as the apologist branch of our Republican government.
Except they do and have accomplished things to help. The fact that they haven’t done more is proof that we’re never satisfied. It would be easier to do if Republicans hadn’t decided their path to power is to obstruct and blame everything on Democrats, but we no longer live in that world. Let’s acknowledge reality instead of helping Republicans blame Democrats for their hindrance.
I’ll believe that when the Democrats stop making excuses.
How is describing the reality in front of you an excuse?
Because the government works in favor of Republicans and against Democrats every single time. Because Joe Biden, Joe Manchin, and KKK Leader Robert Byrd are/were pals. Because Biden rode the term “welfare queen” to the presidency. Because Kamala Harris is a cop and a DA. Because if it isn’t Manchin it’s Sinema. Because “The Squad” only swings their ladydicks when the stakes are low, and spend the rest of their time conveniently allowing the Republicans to operate with impunity. Because Marjorie Taylor Greene is still allowed in DC. Because because because becaaaause!!!
And when they get the votes to bypass Republican obstruction, they deliver for the nation. Which is more than I can say for Republicans, who only serve the donor class.
But please, continue to be smug in your enlightened centrism. You won’t hear from me again.
Twice in my life the popular vote was overridden by the electoral college to install a Republican, and look who’s crying about stolen elections, and look who’s dragging out the investigation. BTW, I’m far left of you Blue fascists.
