    What…? Perpetrated by who…?

    Not to mention, it’s January 13th, and absolutely nothing happened to disrupt official proceedings 7 days ago.

    Highly unlikely. The Democrats can’t organize anything without arguing over the details endlessly and ultimately getting nothing done.

      Well they aren’t a monolithic party. They’re a loose coalition at best. And they’ve got groups left and right trying to sabotage any solidarity or progress. It makes it pretty tough.

        Yes… And most of those saboteurs come from inside the house. Look at all the Pro Palestine people who either skipped the vote because they were mad at the Democrats or they voted against them on this single issue thinking that Trump was somehow going to make the situation over there any better.

        I’ll never deny that Republicans and the greater right do pretty much everything in their power to block or trip up the Democrats whenever possible, but you also have to admit that the Democrats have their own internal issues that are the cause of much of their own dysfunction.

          That you blame them for representing the people. And not people is part of the problem. Most Americans unlike what you see here, are very Pro israel. Due to decades upon Decades of propaganda and close ties.

          The Democrats stance regarding Israel didn’t sabotage them. Their stance regarding the wealthy did. If anything the undecided campaign sabotaged themselves. They may have been able to make up some of the difference. Especially the ones that idiotically voted for trump. But they won’t learn. We wouldn’t still be doing this if people did.
