This is the scapegoat I'll always remember:

Did the democratic party ever update their vetting process?

Idk. Tbh for me this was a huge turning point of distrust. They had the power and couldn't get a $15 minimum passed. I've since kind of fallen down the "the system is working exactly as designed" rabbit hole. From where I am, I don't believe a vetting process will really help.

I had this thought after Obama removed the "public option" from the ACA.

I can't conclusively prove that the Dems claim to support progressive policies but always offer up a Sinema to take the heat for failing...but in the last 15 years I haven't seen anything that contradicts this theory. When banks need money it's an emergency and we had better shovel cash out the door without discussion, but when people need help we kick them a month's rent and then bitch about it for years.
