“The Dems” are not. The DNC is. “The Dems” include progressives and some socialists that are Democrat in name only. It is a pretty big tent. The problem is that the DNC has all the power in the tent.

Hence, the Senate doing what it was designed to do from inception: protect the interests of elites. Period. And it’s been working quite well for them. For, us? Well, ...

Right. They’re the political wrestling heel, choking the “good guy” in the corner while their partner distracts the ref.

There’s also the interesting point that the scotus actually isn’t given the power to declare laws unconstitutional so revoking that power would then open up a huge box of…

I’ll start by professing my love and admiration for Michelle Obama.

The Federalist Society doesn’t give two shits about Roe.
