    By what nonexistent levers of power do you expect them to hold the total-majority government to account? All they have is the ability to do is complain about the situation in the same way you are complaining about them.

    Rarely are politicians true community organizers like Obama. Most of them are funded and elected because of their electability and nothing else. They dont possess the skills you think they do. Were lucky if they can be arsed to put their drink down and read the shit they vote on

      None, just at least give the posture and appearance of trying. It’s a low bar they’re failing. You know, not voting for grossly disqualified candidates in the name of bipartisanship. As Booker has.

      No one is asking them to be community organizers. Just not to be enablers of fascists. Showing strong signs that they stand against them and with the people.
