The problem with the Democrats is that they still have respect for the constitution and institutions. Otherwise they’d get a lot done.

    I don’t agree. They waited until they lost a supermajority in congress to push healthcare reform (what became Obamacare). And dang, wouldn’t you know it, mean old republicans wouldn’t let us have single payer.

    So we got a healthcare bill that mandated we buy (generally) private market insurance. A bill written by Penny Pritzker, an insurance industry lobbyist.

    It’s kabuki. There’s only one party — the billionaire party.

    No, the problem with the leading Dems is that they ONLY respect the institutions. And their owner donors, of course.

    They'd rather let a million people die from lack of political action than subvert the Holy System or inconvenience the rich people legally (and sometimes illegally) bribing them.

    The problem with democrats is that they feign respect for the constitution and institutions when it means enabling fascists.

    They didn't give a shit about the constitution or institutions when they ignored the Leahy law to play arms dealer for genocide.
