Fair enough, but it’s immensely frustrating that they couldn’t get the public option through.

Me, too. Joe Lieberman can rot in hell.

@VeronicaConnor

with total control of the entire congress,

They didn’t, though. They were hamstrung by the centrists, a curse on their middle-of-the-road houses!

@VeronicaConnor

Meanwhile Republicans can barely get elected, yet manage to roll back Roe, get Citizen’s United decided in favour of total corruption of the US government, get the VRA overturned, gerrymander the hell out of everything, and on and on.

It helps if you’re willing to lie, cheat, and steal. But mostly cheat. I would like Dems to get more ruthless, but ultimately if they went as rogue as the Rpubs, we wouldn’t want the Dems, either.

@VeronicaConnor

I’m not even American yet it’s still maddening to watch.
