There might be some who are like that, but there are also plenty of Democratic politicians who actually are working to improve things for all of us. Let’s not forget that the House has been passing a ton of productive bills with a democratic majority.

Thanks to lack of MSM coverage, many people get the impression that new legislation has ground to a halt. That is not true:

US Congress 2023-2024 118th Congress Legislation

I wish they would bring more attention to GOP obstruction (especially professional bill-blocker, Rand Paul), and how damaging and self-serving that is:

@DukeTrout

the best path to breaking the duopoly is to break the GOP. Splinter it back into its coalition parts. And the best way to accomplish that is for Dems to win the next couple of elections decisively. The only reason the billionaires and bigots work together is when they can succeed electorally.

This is why every news story involving the GOP attacking businesses fills me with hope!

@VeronicaConnor

In Obama’s first term they had the house and a supermajority in the senate! They did… nothing.

We have very different definitions of nothing…
