In reply to the discussion: BREAKING CNN - House WILL vote to hold Barr in Contempt of Congress! [View all]calimary
(91,271 posts)What I worry about is a discouragement factor that might start seeping into the picture on the Democratic side, if our reps go into yet another gunfight armed with knives and feather dusters.
I worry about that A LOT. We worked our asses off for two years after January 2017 to flip the House of Reps. We worked like hell to oust 40 bad guys and take power back in one chamber on Capitol Hill. AND at the state level too. We worked nonstop to put the Democrats back in power in some way so all of Washington DC would NOT continue to be a simpering, cowardly spineless rubber stamp to this illegitimate monster in OUR White House. And we rightly expect RESULTS for all that work. We quite properly expect a return on that investment. What the hell did we work and struggle and slave and give our all on every possible front for?
Dammit, I want to see action on this! Decisive and goddamn serious action! I didnt work that hard so I could get some goddamn strongly-worded letters. You know what trump and Barr and others of their ilk do with those strongly-worded letters? They take them to the proverbial bathroom and wipe their asses with em.
Im discouraged already yet determined to vote whenever I get the chance. But I worry that other Dems will get discouraged by a mealy-mouthed Democratic response and, when the next time to vote arrives, will throw up their hands and say why the hell should I even bother?
THATS what I worry about.
