(10,533 posts)McConnell's buy-in should not have been sought before alerting the public about Russian interference to help Trump in 2015
There should have been a rules change in the House so that people who failed to show up when subpoenaed could be threatened with arrest for inherent contempt
It should not have taken as long as it did to bring impeachment charges against Trump, and the charges should have been broader
We should have fought like hell when Amy Coney Barrett was nominated, using every procedural maneuver to grind the process to a halt, instead of giving hugs to Lindsey Graham
There should not have been virtual silence from Dem Leadership when Trump refused to accept the election results
There should be more Democrats who are willing to call out the Republican Party for abetting an attempted coup, and to call it a coup, instead of laughing it off or pretending it isn't happening
We should refuse to seat the 126 Republicans in the House who signed onto sedition, instead of just releasing wordy statements about their "dishonor"
We should have sought at least $2K/month in payments for EVERYONE, even if that wouldn't pass in the Senate, to show who is on the side of the people, instead of a one-time $1200 payment subject to means testing
We should not be 'applauding' a measly $600 payment and $300/week in UI as a triumph of bipartisanship
In general, Democrats should have a unified message and should be out in front of cameras and on social media EVERY DAY making the case to the people instead of having closed-door meetings and tweeting out long statements that no one reads
They should start calling Republicans out for their sedition and treachery instead of expressing "concern" about their "colleagues across the aisle".
They should stop promoting the myth that we are the greatest democracy in the world and start making it clear that minority rule is unacceptable and that our electoral system must change
