And zero effective action from the Dems against their partners, the GOP.

@Changeisgonnacome The Dems cannot do a thing without support from at least 10 Republican Senators. As long as they refuse to govern, and obstruct legislation, nothing will get done.

@windinhishair or-. People could actually elect someone else! Like not the GOP, not Dems-. Real representation. Okay, nevermind,-. You like knowing it's never. Keep on keeping on-. Dem.

@Changeisgonnacome People could elect representatives who will actually govern. And they should. But that has been severely lacking for the past 30 years.

@beaglehunter You're not making any sense again.

@Changeisgonnacome they could elect someone else, but they don't. If Greens had a majority in the US, you wouldn't even have to make such statements.

So since voters don't elect the Greens, now what? What is your actual helpful suggestion?

And I thought only right wingers obsessed over Nancy.
