I really don’t get it. Even GOP has the majority why headlines says it’s up to Dems?
It’s almost like you don’t understand that America is a Uniparty imperialist system masquerading as a two party republic
Republicans will just use this to dismantle more of the government while blaming the democrats and the democrats will walk blindly into this because people who will never vote for them can’t see the truth.
I'll believe it when I see it.
these comments. Alls I see is the dems should do something and when they do alls I see is. They don't really mean it. Its funny. Dems in power and the right says everything bad is dems fault and the left says everything is dems fault. Reps in power and the right says everything bad is dems fault and the left says yeah the dems are responsible. ugh. with american left who needs the right.
The 4th of july funding bill needed a cloture vote by senate dems that they never should have given. I hold no ill will to house democrats but the senate democrats fucked up big time.
yeah that is one thing but the republicans crafted that bill. Get rid of the shit all over us and then we can work on combing the hair and such.
It'd probably go better for the Dems, if they didn't have the exact same donors as the Republikkklans do. You don't want ANY politician, of any stripe, to have their first (and only?) loyalty to people that pay them more than voters do.
Unfortunately thats a pretty high bar. Anyone who wins will get donations from the large players and turning them down would be foolish. Definately need to get rid of citizens united and bring back regulation for donations and the media and such.
It's a bar that much of the rest of the world seems to have cleared quite well. What you Americans call "donations" and "lobbying", the rest of us call Bribery. Your attitude explains American gun rights, too, where many of you think you have a god given right to own military hardware, even as your neighbors kids are being butchered by those same weapons. The rest of the world has mostly addressed gun rights in a civilized way, and only Americans think like that, and think gun legislation is hard. You NEED to start holding your do nothing politicians to the fire, about these issues. You NEED to do it years ago. Not everything needs to be about profit and money.
And I do which is why I push for an end to citizens united and bringing back regulation. Things that the rest of the world does not have allowing them to clear the bar. Much of what is really fucking the us today is from court rulings and I would caution the rest of the world if their courts have power of interpretation.
roll over!! Whos a good boy?
Do not fail on healthcare!
It has been nine brutal months for congressional Democrats.
Oh please.
Oh this time the AIPAC zombies are actually going to do something? I’ll believe it when I see it
Worthless Democrats are conspirators.
