    What makes you think you represent the majority of voters?

    People didn’t vote for the DSA, they voted against $6.00 gas.

      Well you could just look up how the average American feels about universal healthcare.

        Obama had both Houses and getting the ACA passed was in doubt until the last vote was in.

        Trump can veto any Bill, and the Dems don’t have the votes to override.

        Plenty of voters would like Medicare For All and improved schools, but they’ll never vote for a Dem because ‘communism.’

      Who said anything about the DSA? Affordability, Medicare for All, money out of politics. Most Democrat voters will get behind that. $6.00 gas was a rallying cry, sure.

      Also, I didn’t say that I represent the majority of voters? In fact, I know that I do not represent the majority of voters.

        Then why start a fight right away?

        The new Congress hasn’t even been sworn in yet. Let the dust settle and see what happens.

        Our focus should be on the GOP, not infighting

          “why are you exercising your political rights and making your voice heard? You voted, that’s enough, now shut up until the next election.”

          No.

          Our focus should be on electing actual leaders, who will do what must be done to stop the GOP. Who said anything about infighting?

          Then why start a fight right away?

            The doomsaying trolls are coming out in force after this election, because a moment of optimism is intolerable to them.

            I’ve added so many new user tags in the past few days alone.
