    People hate when you say it, but the Democratic Party is Controlled Opposition.

    A bunch of them are just paid to lose.

      “A bunch” is roughly three. Sinema, Fetterman, and, uh… I’m sure there’s one more.

      It’s easier to stop things than to pass things. You’ll notice Republicans aren’t getting a lot done right now, exactly. At least not through Congress.

      They’re doing so many blatantly illegal things, largely with the blessing of the DoJ and the Supreme Court. But they can’t get the SAVE Act through to stop us from voting.

      It turns out every bit matters.

          The neolibs are not responsible for the majority of our problems.

          Their biggest crimes are Israel and not being aggressive enough on changes. They’re not the ones preventing most of the legislation we’ve tried to pass, such as the public option with the ACA.

            As far as you’re concerned, their biggest crime is not supporting genocide even harder.

              can you read I’m not American and have no dog in this fight apart from not wanting the USA to fuck the world worse than currently, but they literally mentioned genocide/Israel being their biggest crime

        If you can’t name more than two Senators… Jesus, dude. Maybe start with Henry Cuellar and Bob Menendez. Ritchie Torres. Elissa Slotkin. Eric Swalwell. Josh Gottheimer. Do I really need to make you the full list?
