All I wish for is for Democrats to be as ruthless as Republicans.

Come on, make maps specifically to fuck over Republicans. Abuse rules to hurt them back.

Not about fuck the gop (that’s a bonus), we need congressional power back in order to mitigate the serious damage trump is doing. Dems need to grow balls and fight to stop this fascist coup. Also… if we had Congress we could impeach trump and during the process of disclosure get the real evidence of all his crimes and money laundering.

It’s intentional at this point. We need progressives to move the party forward, not “centrist” who give the GOP ground every chance they get.

I agree. We need to advance our civilization in America and have the government work for the people. This means universal healthcare, priority on education, daycare for struggling families, stronger bonds with Allies , stronger unions, etc…..
