I’m so sick of them “taking the high road” ! Look where we’re at now! Just a one man show and everyone else retreated! No checks and balances and I’m sure no court order will change any of it!

Moderates in the Democratic party who capitulated to Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema own this mess. There's no reason to support this party.

Dems are always on the back foot in this department because they are resistant to violate any norms first.

But it’s their only excuse to not do anything so they can please their billionaire donors.

Past is past…right now!…kids’ education on chopping block…and an active government coup is now!…and now! there is attack on judicial system…
While you’re reminiscing…the fight is for everyone to deal with right now! Calling shots after game over is lame and very destructive…entitled to your opinion

To ignore the past's effects on the present is to forget who we are or how we got to this point.

The filibuster is the only thing saving us from this madness, It would have been catastrophic without it. If you think for a minute getting rid of the filibuster would somehow have led to Trump being incarcerated and Elon not rigging this election, you are delusional.

They should have abolished the filibuster. Instead, they used the rotating villain strategy, this time with Manchin and Sinema to avoid passing progressive legislation. Now they claim to be completely powerless as the minority party.

The Democrats are really good at failing to act for fear of the Republicans doing something bad—and then the Republicans do the bad thing anyway.

The democrats, the party of the should’ve and never did

We need to abolish the Dempublicans. I can't believe people are still falling for the blue grift.

And I remember that some of those "moderates" were/are Republican regulars on liberal news stations.
