    I think, given the huge leap you’ve made, I’m gonna need a little more proof.

      In the context of defending our country from the ongoing fascist takeover, Democrats being too stupid to understand that they need to do something about it might be worse than actively supporting it so I’m not sure what you’re getting at.

        If Democrats had actual power to do something about it then you’d have a great argument, but they’ve had 50 or less in the senate for more than a decade and Trump is in power with a plurality election result.

        Even the impeachment trial never would have convinced 20 GOP senators to cross the aisle to remove Dump from office, it’s better to save it for later.

          Stop making excuses. They have the filibuster and have used it once, against nothing.

          They voted to remove David Hogg but not trump.

      [Looks at Congress not doing shit to Trump’s constant misuse of his powers]

      Yeah sure, big leap. I’m sure they’re actually working on stopping him out of public view, just trust them to do the right thing next time.
