Democratic lawmakers have faced eruptions of anger at town hall meetings across the country this week, as constituents have coupled their fury over President Donald Trump’s actions with deep frustration over what they see as a feckless Democratic response.

    That’s because the democrats refuse to move left and don’t have a backbone.

      “my centrism isn’t a problem, it’s DEMOCRATS for not being left enough, because then my centrism would really be centered”

      Sure bud, whatever helps you sleep at night I guess.

      You aren’t wrong about democrats being spineless, but Personally I could never try and compromise with someone who thinks my very existence and the existence of minorities gives them a reason to hate and persecute up to literal lynching and murder but that’s just me.

        You missed the part about ethics. The compromise between murdering and not murdering minorities is to not murder minorities.

      The Democrats can’t have a backbone. They are owned by oligarch interests. Asking the Democrats to save you is asking a shark to stop another shark from eating you. They are rotten to the core.
