At a time in American history when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, democracy, and decency, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction.

    Maybe that wouldn’t be the case if the people stopped voting for people like Donald Trump.

      90% of Dem politicians are bought and paid for by corporations/oligarchs too. If you believe they’re not, you’re part of the problem.

        The last time they had 60 votes they passed medicaid expansion and protections for preexisting conditions, if they had one more then they could have passed singlepayer but the then Independent 68 year old Lieberman voted against it alongside every single Republican.

        Give Dems power and good things come. Give GOP power and the government serves only the rich.
