    Democrats had no power to do anything about this because the DNC haven’t had more than 48 senators in the last 13 years.

    Republicans are all bad and all complicit, with that I agree, but I would easily say Donald Trump is the worst of them and anybody else in the party would be a lesser evil than him.

      Right, yet many like Fetterman etc were confirming his goons etc. They still bear responsibility, even if it’s less. They failed to treat the situation with the appropriate respect and responses that it deserved. Instead, behaving like everything was still normal. which is still fucked up at best.

        Fetterman is a brain-damaged moron who can’t be recalled. When every single DNC, Independent, and 3 Republicans voted against Pete Hegseth, he was confirmed anyways. If the DNC held a real majority then he would not have been, nor would several Trump SCOTUS picks, that’s exactly what I’m talking about.

          The reason they don’t hold a majority is exactly because they refuse to take anything seriously. Much less the desires of the voters. And it wasn’t just Fetterman he and Shaheen were definitely the worst. Hassan, Kelly, Tim fucking Kane the former VP nominee, Gilibrand, Klobuchar, Peters, Slotkin, Warnock, Hickenlooper, goddamned Corey Booker!? Yes they voted against the worst of the worst. They just voted for the worst and got nothing but shame to show for it.

          Hah! Just saw this. Kelly won an extra prize. Shame and a pension cut!

            Pretty sure its because they attempted but failed to ban money from congress after the 2010 SCOTUS decision and have been fighting the combined PR strength of monied interests, Russia, China, and Racism.

            The DNC want to forgive student debt, tax the rich, expand medical to everyone, and generally be better people in terms of foreign policy.

              And? I mean, yeah. They did attempt those things, which was good. Would have been better if they had accomplished any of them. But that’s not at all the reason voters didn’t vote for them.

              Voters didn’t vote for them because no one who had Biden’s ear. Got through to him till far too late for any sort of primary to run. Then they dumped the wet rag known as Kamala on us. Who continued to fail to inspire or listen to anyone on anything, especially regarding Palestine.

            Those dusty bastards can’t compromise if there is nothing to compromise on, DNC having the members to write, call to vote, and pass legislature would be a night and day difference.
