It's easy to slam a minority party for only doing the little they have the actual ability to do. It's opportunistic bullshit, imo.
The 'programming' is coming from the republican party about 'breaking the rules.' That's not a Democratic value, or a democratic one, either.
If Democratic voters will get off of their asses and go to the polls when we have a chance to vote next, we can eliminate most of the resistance to change, roll back most of the nonsense, and set ourselves up for the next presidential election.
Pretending like we've already had that opportunity in a minority because, breaking the rules, something, something, kinda distracts from that absolutely necessary goal of achieving a majority, and actually threatens to keep us arguing about our own party in the minority for another term.
What's really fucked up is how some people bought into this bullshit at election time, when we should have all been focused on opposing republicans and electing more Democrats. THAT'S how all of this actually works, not his backbiting, navelgazing defeatism some seem to think is some political messaging genius.
