    There is evidence of republicans trying to stop Democratic legislation. There is none of the Democratic Party trying to stop the Democratic Party

      There is plenty of evidence of Democrats trying to stop progressives. Why would that be limited to progressive candidates and not progressive legislation?

        “Democrats” or the Democratic Party as a whole? Because any bad faith actor can claim to be democrat and go against party lines.

              When they can count on people like yourself to make excuses for it, why would they stop?

                Pointing out that republicans try to block democrat legislation is reality not an excuse. But you probably believe they are all lizard people with your conspiracy minded thought process.

                  Provided that you ignore that Republicans always seem to be able to vote in lockstep and always have just enough help from elected Democrats.

                    You’re claiming that all republican legislation that has ever been passed, only passed because of help from democrats? That’s verifiably false.
