Enabled by democrats. Who sat back and finger wagged the whole time.
Not true, they also started a bunch of limp wristed investigations with agonizing, unforgivable slowness, and pardoned a bunch of their friends when it inevitably didn’t work.
For sure. But I don’t understand why I’m getting downvoted.
My guess would be that a lot of people have an understandable dislike of anything that singles out the Democrats as the reason for Trump, as opposed to blaming Trump, the spineless Republicans as a whole, the media, the voters, the Russians, the educational system, the legalized corruption of our government as a whole, or any number of other institutional or individual factors that might have shit the bed and let Hitler come to power in the US. Blaming Democrats is the only target out of those that also depresses support for the most possible likely bulwark against him in our fairly sad system, and often seems to come from suspect sources. But you’re not wrong.
Because, despite the accuracy of your statement, the party members cannot stand criticism or accept that there is room for improvement.
I left the Democratic party. Done. I may continue to vote for the candidates, but I've become a DSA member. I want progress, not procrastination.
