Totally.
It's the leftists/tankies' fault, even though they have absolutely no power whatsoever in our political system. I say it's your fault and mine, since we voted Biden and Democrat in 2020 in full knowledge that they were conservatives, as evidenced by everything they've done since Clinton was elected. What's even worse is we rewarded them twice for killing Bernie's candidacy.
The point you're trying to make, in light of the last 40 years of Democrats' politics, isn't reasonable. These lawmakers aren't powerless, they're complicit.
I like to think you're catching the point, but it seems lost still.
I know perfectly well they have no power. The ones that are going to sit there and throw a fit at the Dems though are the leftists who will say the Dems didn't do anything.
The Dems who do have power have to make a choice of take this with the poison pill, or sit and argue, or do nothing and hope the incoming admin won't make it worse when the current R's refuse to move. Which choice would you make?
