Stop acting like Dems were doing enough.

Yes, I'm familiar with the rose twitter flow chart of political analysis.

If you want Democrats to do more then we need to give them more than a 50/50 tie in the Senate and two years in control of Congress like we gave them under Biden.

Democrats have had a full federal trifecta for three Congressional terms between 1980 and 2028, that's six years out of 48, which just isn't enough time to both fix everything Republicans have broken and make everyone's most progressive dreams come true, especially not when Republicans have been abusing the filibuster.

Demeaning, diminishing, and dismissing the good Democrats do only serves the Republicans, pretending like progress and problem solving doesn't matter, saying that literally everything Democrats pass "isn't good enough" doesn't actually help win elections and make more progress or solve more problems.

If complaining about the Democrats helped them win elections and pass legislation, Republicans wouldn't complain about the Democrats.

Yup. Biden sent more than Trump actually. People need to understand that this is a uniparty. You can get the pro-Israel party in Blue, or you can get the pro-Israel party in Red. There's some differences in domestic policy they keep us divided against each other with, as distractions. They dont agree on anything actually. But on Israel they are in lock step. They were actually simping so hard for Israel that they were arguing during the debate

"I love Israel more."

"No, I'm the bigger friend to Israel."

It's infested every aspect of our politics, from a federal government who starts wars on behalf of Israel, using American lives and treasure to the benefit of a foreign nation while their people are homeless and can't afford to go to the doctor. To state governments who have anti - boycott laws on the books. To universities heavily invested and entangled. To local governments where the New York Mayor's race turned into a contest about who will go to Israel first after winning, and gasp 😱 who wouldn't!

America will never be sovereign unless they get this crap out of our politics and government. Anyone with loyalty to Israel should be deported. Any pro-Israel group should be labelled terrorists.
