    All he’ll do is put them to sleep. Chuck isn’t energizing anything, the dude is a bowl of tepid oatmeal.

      Bullshit excuse. When Republicans are in the minority they are obstructionist fucks, getting their message out and actual media attention with performative bullshit, generally being effective as the opposition party. When Dems are in the minority all you get is whiney “somebody do something!” bleets from leadership. This is why we lose, our representatives are unwilling to fight for the people. Moron voters see Trump and Republicans as actually willing to try to do something to improve their lives, while Dems complain about process to cable news hosts nobody watches. The Trump admin is acting lawlessly, and Dems meet that moment by asking Republicans in Congress to do something about it? Fucking hell, do something, show up, fight, inspire, lead.

        No, Dems lose because when they have a small majority there’s always a surprise that lo, a couple so-called Dems were funded by fossil fuel companies and don’t vote with their party

          Then maybe show don’t tell people that Dems are not the same. Get caught fighting for the people. Don’t do a Monday morning CNN cable hit, or a press conference in front of usaid where you ask politely to be let in and then slink off when your told no. Force your way in to the department of education, get arrested with 30 of your colleagues. Do shit.

      Which means the only people left to tell in Congress are the fascists themselves.

      Not sure that Congress is gonna have anything to do with resolving this crisis.
