I want to say that they just don't see our children as people, but the truth is many of those feds look like him. They don't see their own children as people. It's just abhorrent; I don't even know how to keep going sometimes

Do you not think this is an emergency that requires more than just electoral politics? You seem to think they're limited to voting or not voting for things and they're completely incapable of anything else. I can see why you would, given their refusal to do anything

Like I guess I could go back and look at everything they filibustered the first two years, but I'll pass and let you do it. It's been 15 years and 1500 years of news have happened in that time, but their gridlocking is well recorded

This person is very dumb and thinks it's the voters failing Dems and not the other way around. No real point arguing with them because they're incapable of introspection

He used to actually sound like a mostly reasonable, if conservative, person. He was one of "the gang of eight" (which he might have abandoned but I don't fully remember) who tried to pass immigration reform/the DREAM Act in 2010.
He fucking sucks though, and his decline is infuriating

That's more or less what gives me hope. I don't have faith in this nation's leaders, but I do have faith in my neighbors who are trying to meet the moment
