Establishment Democrats have a not so new favourite expression when it comes to how they feel about the criminal and treasonous actions by Republicans in the House and Senate: ‘I feel so sad’.
On Sunday morning television talk/news shows, on scheduled interviews day and night on cable talk/news, and during spot interviews on nightly news shows, old guard Dems to a man and woman say they feel sad that Republicans such as Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Kevin McCarthy, Marjorie Taylor Greene, et al… , are not playing by the rules, are not negotiating in good faith, are not standing up for the Constitution, are not standing up against liars, against insurrectionists, against traitors.
Hey, you Democratic-ish Party leaders, instead of feeling sad about the un-American activities of the Republican Party, why don’t you get mad and do something about it. Damn, you have the White House, the House, and, yes, the Senate, so do something. Fight back. Loud and hard. Stop being sad. Stop whining. Stop being the Wuss Party that Republicans believe and show you to be.
(PS: Maybe, just maybe, you should follow the lead of ‘new blood’ like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Jamaal Bowman of New York and Cori Bush of Missouri).
(PPS: And a reminder – Mitch McConnell is never going to like you so stop embarrassing yourselves).
