      They’re demanding of the people who they did vote for and did elect. Those Democrats in the house didn’t just get in for free. They had to win their elections.

      When you’re an elected politician in an opposition party you don’t just get to take a vacation until the next election. Your job is to hold the government accountable. It’s a vital role.

      A system where the governing party has no opposition is called a one-party state. If you’re American you probably don’t want to live in one of those.

      Dems don’t understand that Americans are idiots. You need to be popular to get voted in. It’s not enough to do good stuff in the shadows.

        You don’t need to be popular, people just have to have a feeling they know you personally.

        Sadly it doesn’t matter at all heat you do, you just have to have good PR.

      This.

      It’s like “what did you do for me lately now that we voted to fuck everyone over?”

      Let’s hear more from the Jill Stein crowd. I’m sad, and schadenfreude is all I’ve got.
