(574 posts)Personally, I think its its because we Democrats fail, repeatedly, to hold republicans accountable for the illegal, treasonous, evil shit they do.
Reagan wasnt held accountable for thwarting the release of American hostages in Iran and he got a pass for Iran/Contra. Then Bush/Cheney Gang got a pass for the fraud leading up to the Iraq war and similarly egregious conduct.
Soon after Obama took office, at a minimum, Democrats should have held hearings re the Iraq war and the root causes for the collapse of the US economy. We folded.
Democrats should have been screaming bloody murder about mounting evidence of Russia/Republican collusion re US elections. We folded.
Whats that old saying about bringing peanut butter sandwiches to a gun fight? Yea, that.
It isnt that Democrats dont know how to unite and scream bloody murder, cause we sure showed some grit in getting Al Franken to resign.
Some democrat somewhere recently said something like If you arent here to fight, get the f*ck out of the way! My thoughts exactly.
