9 days agoIf by “we” you’re referring to the American people as a whole, then no, no we don’t. So many people I talk to are treating this like just another 4 years of republican shenanigans; I rarely find someone in real life who understands just how close we are to all-out war.
Everyone already knows all the republicans supported it; anything under their jurisdiction is already a lost cause. What I want to know is how many people from the “left” party can’t even keep their own votes on the right side of history. It’s not news when villains are villains - it’s news when the people who say they’re here to fight back against the villains are caught supporting them, and it’s important not to drown out that important detail among a bunch of already-known regressives. People need to see that the current democratic party isn’t a viable defense against conservativism, and that we need to do something more to get things moving in the right direction again than simply trusting democrats to fix everything.
