      which is probably why they blocked him 2x and they’ll do it again at the next chance they get.

          I think they’re grooming AOC for all the disappointment as evidenced by DNC’s leadership blocking her nomination for the oversight committee. Lol

            If they keep it up they just won’t have a party. Democrats don’t do party line loyalty like the Republicans.

              they can do whatever they want since americans are conditioned to believe that politics are only left and right, so that leads them to believe that there must be democrats as the de facto option; it doesn’t matter that both the democrats and republics are just different shades of red.

                I would say the recent election is evidence that’s not true. Harris said nothing would change and people who usually vote stayed home.

    I remember footage of protestors confronting Bernie, demanding he support the effort to bring M4A to a floor vote, and he accused them of being paid fakes. Now that it’s gonna be a Republican in the White House, he’s calling for it again.

    Bernie hurts more than he helps these days. Time for him to pass the torch, and retire. He’s lost his ability to fight the democrats holding us up.
