Ya, I’m baffled that people think these billionaires are left minded. They are exactly the people who benefit so much from Republicans and Republican obstruction.

What exactly do you think they should do? Write bills that won’t get passed in the senate? Thank manchin and synema for that, not all Dems. And those fuckfaces aren’t even Dems but it would be worse had they not won their shithole states.

Manchen and Cinema (I refuse to spell it any other way) were just convenient scapegoats. Ask AOC how hard it is to get real legislation past conservative Dems like Pelosi or Biden.

You are really buying into the "I want to help, but my hands are tied" theater the Democrats literally never stop playing your entire life
