Even though I watched Rachel last evening,
I missed this segment on Rachel last evening .

Hmmmmm.

Not much of a response from the DEM House leader,

That response doesn’t answer or get Democrats that are extremely upset
with DEMs in Congress lackluster fighting spirit

Geez.

God Help Us All.

THERE IS A REASON DEM VOTERS ARE PISSED AT ELECTED DEMS

VP Harris, and those self-identified progressives who didn’t vote for Harris because of the Israeli-Palestinian issue, or those from labor who split the vote between Harris and the sociopath, or those Latinos who split the vote between Harris and the sociopath, or those women who did not come out in 5he numbers expected.

I am pretty disgusted with those all or nothing voters who if they the Democrats can’t get everything they want they will take their marbles and walk away.

If don’t understand the very real difference between Harris and trump they never will.

If they don’t understand that if their preferred Democratic candidate doesn’t win their primary, the Democratic candidate is still better because if nothing else it can help us achieve the majority in congress, perhaps they need to take a civics lesson about elections.

The pathetic thing is they learned nothing from the 2000, 2016, and 2024 election,

If their preferred candidate does not win in the primary, you still vote for the Democrat in the general election, so we can at least achieve the majority in Congress.

Unfortunately because of this continued foolishness we have lost the SC for decades, and possibly our democracy.
