    Shocked Pikachu face

    The Democrat doing what Democrats always do, fake resistance and then capitulate to Republicans. That’s how that ratchet effect works, and that’s how the country keeps shifting further to the right.

      This time it wasn’t just one guy or two guys. It was ten Senators and a House Rep. Schumer as the senate minority leader handed over the country to the fascists. It’s an unprecedented betrayal. And it shows how both parties serve the same billionaires. =(

        Both parties have always served the same billionaires, it just happens to be that more people are now noticing it. And Democrats, as a whole party, have been complicit in turning the country into a fascist state

          Citizens United has allowed what was already happening to reach its logical conclusion. The reason more people are noticing is because it’s by far the worst it’s been since we’ve had monopoly and anti-trust laws. If people take the time to look they’ll see it.
