Not shown is the Democrats let the Republicans drill the hole and did not use the fact they had a majority to stop it.
I am not saying the Democrats aren’t the better of two bad options, but we shouldn’t settle for the lesser of two evils. We should expect more. With that said, it requires effort, coalition building and local effort.
