    Stooping to MGT’s level is not the way. That said Democrats didn’t bother to censure her and that’s their mistake.

    I’m done with these pseudo Dems who are more interested in grabbing $$$ and retaining their seats. THEY have not /are not doing anything to change the status quo, and we need to PRIMARY every one of them. Nancy Pelosi? Chuck Schumer? Hakeem Jeffries? NONE of them are bringing the energy & attitude needed to FIGHT the fuck BACK!!

    But Dems only choose symbolic action if any action at all.

    This. I have no problem with symbolic action, but it can’t JUST be symbolic.

    But Dems only choose symbolic action if any action at all. I’m tired of being shocked, baffled, and depressed at the Dems performative action and complete lack of aggressive action

    Singing the song disrupted the proceedings and evoked the long journey of civil rights in America. I think it was great. They didn’t sit quietly, keep going.

    You can do symbolic action AND action. Speaking of, anyone reading this, give a call to the fuckers who voted for censuring Al Green.

    I’m aware of the song’s history. But now isn’t the time for singing songs.

    Because he yelled at Trump about Medicaid during the joint address.

    The 12 Dems lack any profile in courage, and they are complicit. This is just another evidential reason as to why the Dems are morally bankrupt and we must consider pushing our resources to a progressive party that will honor and promote our values.
