    Oh no, there’s blame there. But you can’t punish them for it. We can and should make it known to democratic leadership how impotent they’ve been and how badly they’ve been doing their jobs.

    That’s part of the democratic process. An important one too.

      In any other situation, Id understand. Maybe not agree, but understand. But right now, and so long as Project 2025 remains a threat, the stakes are simply too high. Some of us have our lives riding on this. Im trans, Ill be dead or a homeless illegal in the event we lose.

        The political system right now is simply good cop and bad cop.

        Bad cop(republicans): i’ll shoot you.

        Good cop(Democrats): vote for me, I’m your only choice to stop him from shooting you (but it’s in my best interests to let him threaten you forever, so you’ll vote for me)

        Both will forever suck. Both are fascists. We need better options
