General Discussion

when we had control of both houses and failed to take the bold, sweeping steps we could have taken to put a stop to all of this. We let Democratic party leadership "handle" the slow-tracking prosecution plan of Merrick Garland, and missed the best opportunity we ever will have to put that bastard on trial and get convictions for what he'd done. They thought that might look "too poitical." So he got away with it! Nor were we willing to take the steps we needed to pack the damn supreme court and save Roe, knock down Citizens United, and expidite his criminal trials by bypassing the pettyness of the Eileen Canons of the judicial system in order to get real justice.

And this doesn't?

If you want to see a real Democrat who actually believes, with most of the rest of us, that Trump is the greatest threat American democracy has ever experienced, look at the reaction of Senator Bernie Sanders to this cave in. And he's not even a Democrat.

Are our party leaders afraid of Trump? That's what it looks like, either afraid of Trump, or in his pocket too, or unwilling to make the kind of sacrifies we are going to have to make because they are more interested in protecting their turf than protecting their supporters and constituents.
