Elizabeth Warren is showing too much spunk to carry the Democrat label. Dems are notorious for having no spine at all but I just heard Elizabeth Warren urging Democrats in the Senate to grow a spine and fight for what they have actually won; a majority of votes in the 2016 election. More Americans support Democrat values than Republican values.
If the Democrats follow their usual losing script they will slink away to some far corner in the hopes of preserving what little power they still retain. Disgusting. The Republicans have always (in my lifetime) been more than willing to take advantage of any situation directly and forcibly in order to win an election…. and once again they have followed this format to the letter. And once again the Democrats are strangely silent as they watch years of work being undone
Where is the outrage over Russia’s direct interference in our national elections?? Where is the public outrage over FBI Director William Comey’s interference in this election?? Where is the outrage over Le Grand Orange’s willingness to use these poisoned fruits to his advantage, and our collective disadvantages, as if they were his due?? Why do we hear so little about it as related to their election interference in our affairs?? What will we do to prevent them from doing it again?… or any other thing they decide to do?
I spent 20 years of my life protecting my country from people like Donald Trump and his Russian pals. BTW, if it weren’t for Russian missile defense systems and war armaments, Vietnam might have worked out differently (but not better for the Vietnamese people). The Russians have been our enemies since WWII and still are. Why is the collective American memory so bad? They have never been on our side and certainly aren’t now. Why is there such a thundering silence on this issue and no sense of urgency in investigating this?? Where is Comey and his FBI when there is really something serious to investigate — the interference of another country in the results of our recent national election??
Democrats were not up to confronting George W Bush and the results of their ineffective opposition will cost the USA much more than money before Dubya’s legacy can be closed. They were not up to challenging Bush-Reagan supply-side economics which favor only the rich, at a time when the near-destruction of our economy might have been avoided. Republicans have been willing to pursue an agenda which openly favors the wealthy with little effective opposition from Dems.
Establishment Republicans are going to govern like they and their conservative agenda actually won the election, instead of being repudiated at every level, even the Republican primary. They have the track record of doing exactly this and it goes back years. If Dems follow their normal script it will be to hide in the cloakroom and hope for the best as long as they don’t get hurt. Cowards all.
That’s why I have been encouraged in recent weeks to see that at least one champion of the people hasn’t lost her voice. I am solidly on her side until she begins to wimp out. Does anyone remember the Republicans 100% assault on Barrack Obama?? It lasted 8 years and never wavered. That is what we need now. Everyone standing and speaking loudly against the total corruption of the USA political process that has produced a leader without any mandate at all. Now and everyday for the next four years. If repeated often enough, by enough people, our chosen talking points will penetrate. If Democrats are any less committed to this agenda than the Republicans were in their war against Obama, in four years we will have no Social Security, no affordable healthcare of any sort and a government that openly favors the rich in all tax and policy matters.
You go, Elizabeth Warren. I am solidly on your side. The Republicans deserve to have their ideas repudiated loudly and comprehensively, on a daily basis, for the next four years. Who will lead that fight??? Surely not any of the establishment Dem Senators. Maybe Elizabeth Warren has the stuff we need…. the right stuff.
