    There are only 45 dem senators and a minority in the house. They can’t choose to do a single fuckin thing but block certain bills and force others to vote.

      You do realize they could be campaigning on these things. Making noise, drawing more attention to Trumps policy failures.

      Maybe it’s just the reporting of it, but the only person I actively heard making a big stink within the party was David Hogg. The party had a big issue with his approach that they used a technicality to remove him from his position in the party.

        David Hogg clearly didn’t care enough about his ideals to participate in the redo election for his seat. To clarify, though, the other DNC chairmen didn’t oust him on a technicality, the woman he won against did because she rightfully filed a complaint about the gender segregated pairing of the election which violated DNC rules.
