Gutless Democrats will never stand up.

Gutless GOP I’m sure you meant.

We know the GOP position 100% so why discuss it. It's the Democrats that supposedly control the Senate but can't pass anything with their "moderate" Dems afraid that ditching the undemocratic filibuster will be the end of democracy when Republicans are working endlessly in Congress and in red state legislatures to ensure democracy ends after the next two elections. The GOP has guts now as it has made the ballsy evil push to promote white supremacy and Christofascism openly and proudly.

You’re being intentionally obtuse by painting all Dems with the same brush. Sinema and Manchin aren’t “moderate”, they’re traitors. Had you blamed them I would have agreed with you. You didn’t.

Sorry but I no longer believe the Democrats can do anything to change the fascist trajectory we are on. Outside a handful of "our representatives" I paint them all as self serving ne'er-do-wells who like the perks, light working schedule and connections to make you more wealth.

No I'm not "rejecting all religious and moral principles in the belief that life is meaningless," I'm reacting to the reality we see everyday in Washington where Democrats never fight back in what I would consider an appropriate way against political corruption. Your rosy outlook won't change a damn thing once Republicans take back the House and Senate and start impeachment and other hearings which will be brutal and with enforced participation from those subpoenaed that don't accept their power. By that time the toothless 1/6 commission will be labeled as "fake news" and put on the ash heap of history with the also useless Mueller investigation and the slap on the hand lying Trump got from two impeachments that did nothing but strengthen his popularity on the radical right. All we can do is take Nancy Pelosi's lead on every defeat and "pray" for our fascist usurpers to see the light and keep sending cash to the never-ending requests from Democratic candidates that seem to think they can buy electoral sucess with another $20 from each and everyone of us.
