they either don't understand the enemy they are up against, or they don't care, or they don't want to admit that their colleges across the aisle are craven, inhumane assholes. The GOP has lost all decency, & has zero commitment to the Constitution. To fight that you have to be willing to get in the ring, throw some dirt in their eyes, & draw some fucking blood. Instead, we kicked one of our best bulldogs to the curb. What does Gillibrand think will happen to women if this administration & the rot that is the GOP continue unchecked? I am so angry with the democratic party right now. They haven't put up a true fight in so many decades, even if they manage to pull some influence out of the next election, what will they do with it? Play nice & work with the other side in the name of healing the nation. Bank on it.
