    Agreed.

    It always warms my heart to hear how hard it was for Democrats to actually wield power when they had it, especially when Trump is giving a master class on the possibilities. It reminds me of all those times they asked us to empathize with how hard it is to legislate, conveniently, whenever we asked them to do something about the widespread impoverishment of people and the increasing cost-prohibitive pricing of food staples.

    They always, always lean on excuses.

      Yeah when was the last time you heard the excuse that “we just have to keep arming Israel because of geopolitical alliances?” They sure dropped that one quickly before morphing into blaming individuals for not further supporting it at the ballot box. No criticism for the 15 months of this under Biden. No criticism of the actual fucking Democratic candidates who chose to support this in their campaigns leading up to their entirely predictable losses.

      It’s just excuse and scapegoat after excuse and scapegoat while they let the world burn around them because it’s good for their polling numbers in the next election.

        If you look in this thread you’ll find one saying exactly that.

        of course Biden couldn’t stop, they’re our biggest ally/if we stopped arming them their neighbors who Isreal keeps provoking and attacking would invade
