    Don’t get me wrong, I supported and voted for the Democrats. But currently? They seem like a bunch of pussies letting the Republican party cuck them of our democratic nation because they’re unwilling to be more ruthless. Uncivility and the breaking of precedent by the Republicans, should be met and pursued by with absolute cold efficiency and opportunism by the current Democratic party, in order to protect us, their constituents. They aren’t doing that though, and seem to even be capitulating and bending the knee to Republicans.

      Let’s be clear here: they were like that before we voted for them, too. But we held our noses and did it anyway, because – unlike the “genocide Joe” concern trolls – we both understood what was at stake and weren’t covertly supporting it.

      If there were like 87 Al Greens yelling during the SOTU address, getting thrown out, yelling things that everyone cares about like “you’re crashing the fucking economy you moron,” then maybe the dems would have earned a little respect. But no, they brought cute polite ping pong protest paddles.
