19. Maybe Dems are tired of getting the shit kicked out of them when they suport 0.00001% of the population

I know it sucks, but until election results change, it makes no sense to give fascist Retrumplicans issues they can beat Dems over the head with.

This kind of "outrage" posting is what causes Dems to lose elections.

Retrumplicans support a fucking pedophile rapist demented clown. That clown won't lose a single vote for being a pedophile.

Whenever a Dem doesn't support someone's issue, we should ask ourselves

" Do I want Henry Cuellar (Texas), Donald Davis (N.C.), Cleo Fields (La.), Laura Gillen (N.Y.), Vicente Gonzalez (Texas), Marcy Kaptur (Ohio), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.) and Eugene Vindman (Va.) writing legislation and setting domestic policy, or do I want Boebert, Blackburn, Comer, Higgins, Fine and Johnson doing it?

I don't know any of the Dems personally, but I do KNOW this:

- they aren’t going to support sending armed goons into blue cities to violently assault Americans

- they aren’t going to vote for the racist "Save our Retrumplican Asses bill.

- they aren’t going to give a blank check to a drunk ass christofascist Secretary of Defense.

Not to mention the most important point...

IF DEMS HAD GOTTEN JUST A LITTLE MORE SUPPORT IN A HANDFUL OF DISTRICTS, THIS LEGISLATION WOULD HAVE NEVER MADE IT TO THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE!

There is no justification for this garbage. Mad_Machine76 Tuesday #22

It's .6-1.2%, actually. Quite a bit more than are, say, coal miners. WhiskeyGrinder Tuesday #23
