  • There was always a plan to stop it. I don’t know who it was but they delayed calling in the national guard. Whether it was the governor or Trump idk but the response was delayed because they didn’t want the people to get hurt which is absolutely disgusting

    Edit: ok so they dropped the ball on multiple fronts but from my understanding it was ultimately Trump who withheld the guard. DC Guard responds to the president, not the governor. Also the requests by Congress for immediate aid were not communicated to the national guard, meaning Trump had his lackeys delay the response.




  • What’s crazy is you saw the last 2 years and are arguing about the process. You learned nothing under this dictatorship. The rules don’t mean anything. They do whatever they want. Only when democrats want to do something it’s theater or about following processes. Our politicians, both left and right, have WAY more power than they let on. The red tape is is self imposed. When enough people get angry we can make massive change and if you ask me the American people need to see things being done. All beauocracy is theatre and maybe if the left actually put some theater for us more people would get mad and actually do something.

    It is sad that you see giving up as a valid option. When the cards you want aren’t on the table you flip the fucking table. It sounds ridiculous but people’s lives are at stake. Do you even care about all the people that will die because they will be priced out of their life saving medications? I guess fighting for healthcare is performative too.













  • Off the top of my head Sinema became famous for blocking a minimum wage increase. She was definitely a establishment spoiler because she didn’t do anything but block stuff. Manchin gets a pass in my book because he was actually voting for his constituents. He ran as Democrat but he was actually a left leaning republican representing West Virginia which is Republican territory. He didn’t block much but he stonewalled anything that was remotely progressive. Torpedoed any bill that didn’t give massive concessions to republicans or West Virginia.
