I think the question for #VoteBlueNoMatterWho folks right now, today, is, what have Democrats actually done to stop the calamity that is now all but certain to unfold in November? I’m not interested in their excuses. I’m not interested in their attempts. I’m not even interested in their “watered down” non-successes. I want to hear about what they have actually accomplished. In the last 50 years.
The obvious answer is nothing. Because we’re facing that calamity.
That list of failures, yet again:
- Abortion
- Climate crisis
- COVID-19
- Evictions
- Gun nuttery
- Healthcare
- Infrastructure
- Minimum wage
- Student loans
- Voting rights
- White supremacist gangs (police)
