AOC: Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with

15. you want opposition, elect a majority

...it's that simple.

Don't expect a minority party to restrain the rabid party holding ALL branches of government. It's just dancing all around the obvious reality of the ineffectiveness of a minority party.

Whatever you expect them to do isn't going to withstand the reality of the majority. Why people fail to understand that is a constant mystery to me.

The ONLY thing that will move them, if anything, is pushback from their constituents. Expecting legislators to urge US to that is an amazing abdication of folks' own political power.

And continually bashing the ones we managed to elect for the reality of their insufficient numbers is the most dirt-dumb thing people interested in political success can do on a public forum.

But still people persist with this nonsense like it's some opposition to republicans. I mean, we get these admonitions that read like they came from mystical gurus about nebulous demands of 'courage' to do whatever we think represents strength to us, damn the consequences that we don't even bother to take into account.

Such ridiculous hurdles placed in the way of OUR OWN advocacy for the Democratic majority WE desperately need.
