14. And here we go

All over this board DUers are demanding that our Democratic leaders "DO SOMETHING!" They are demanding that Democrats repeal the Telecommunications Act, that they have daily press conferences, that they use the media to get the message out.

Here is Sen. Schumer doing something and I posted an OP about Leader Jeffries doing something. And what is the response?

But why "demand" something that you know won't happen, it's kind of like drawin
g a line and then another when the opposition steps over the previous one. It's ineffective and makes us look like losers.


It's enough to make me wonder what, exactly, is going on here.
