Speaking as a constituent, Chris Van Hollen has been a good Senator. Is this person judging him by this one interview clip? ...
I think you failed to read to the end.
He lied in that interview clip.
But all the dems in Congress are lying. Even AOC.
They are cooperating with the Republicans. They are complicit.
This is the attitude that drives me crazy. Every single Democrat opposed RFK Jr and Gabbard. Yet some people (not you, Tiangou) will ding them for being “complicit” or “feckless”. Did you vote for them last November? Well, no, they’re complicit and feckless, or There is no difference between the parties (!), or They supported minor stance X that I am against, or I was busy that day.
Over 50 lawsuits against recent Trump administration actions gave already been filed, and at least some are working. Judges have issued injunctions; the Trump administration is going to have to defend its arbitrary and brain-dead policies in court, and in public.
What do folks want? Even if every single Dem Senator had voted against every Trump nominee, the R’s would have adjusted their “deep concerns” to get them passed. Should the Dems burn down the Capitol to express their opposition?
Elections have consequences. Voting has consequences.
