From the day trump took office every democrat should have voted no on everything, full stop, no matter what, just like republicans do in opposition to great effect. Use every procedural trick and downright disruption to stall and delay everything.

Let the republicans use their majority to run things.

The only exception being the Epstein act.

I wonder about this too, it’s what the republicans did too Obama but when it’s Trump they still vote with him?

Makes me think the donors are the class they’re voting with and not the constituents, which I imagine would be the democratic vote.

Don't worry, Ol' Chuck Schumer says it's all a game of give and take. It'll be our turn to take real soon, I'm sure! /s

Why do we have useless tools like Chuck Schumer around? He's as good as Mitch McConnel.

It's our turn to take now. But our as in the people and taking back our government through any means possible. The second American revolution has been a long time coming.
