Even when they literally vote for the thing, it's not enough for you people. You have to come up with ways to blame Democrats. It's so goddamn disingenuous.

It's not about blaming the Democrats. It's about remembering that it's rich vs poor not red vs blue, and there's a lot of fat cats wearing rags in blue too.

Yeah, so maybe criticize them when it actually makes fucking sense

[–] dogslayeggs@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, it's about judging people by the actions that actually happen, not by things you think they might do if things were different.

i see an entire congress failed yet again to represent my best interests, and i see it done in such a way that people are more mad at each other than at congress.
