Democrats had the chance to secure a majority on the NLRB for two years into Trump’s term, but failed to do so.

      both here

      Um, that’s spelled ‘both sides’ when you want to lump something moderately bad for us in with something horrifically cruel and try to make them look the same. Both sides. Write that down for next time.

        No, both here as in with this particular issue.

        And I’m not saying both are the same. Republicans clearly are the worse ones in this. But that doesn’t absolve the Democrats for failing to actually put up a resistance to it as they fall all over themselves to show what a peaceful transition this is and oh aren’t they wonderful?

        The Republicans are the fascists in the room. The Democrats are the ones who have paid lip service to standing up to them, then rolled over at the first opportunity. They’re the ones who want people to keep donating to fund their resistance while failing to do the bare minimum and show up to hold onto what power they can to actually have some effect at that resistance.

        They’re not the ones who will be causing the harm but they are the ones who are complicit at this point and frankly I’m sick of defending them when they don’t seem to be bothered to protect us.
