MODERATORS
Yeah man.
They totally didn't renege, again, on their publicly stated principles.
They're just oh-so-powerless and had no choice, not even when they had control of Congress for two years and chose not to do anything then either. It's the Democrats we should definitely be feeling bad for here, because they're just so weak and easy to take advantage of by those cunning, swindling Republicans.
this is always the problem, politics is a nuanced game. Even if you want to solve the problem you have to convince everyone there is a problem and then get everyone on board with how you're going to solve it.
it's not something you can just snap your fingers and do. it's made doubly hard when you have an entire wing of the government and corporatocracy fighting a culture war in order to divide the people so they can't overthrow them.
so does this fly in the face of their publicly stated principles? yes, but it's the best option they have. this is what happens when you let apathy win you get only bad options.
It doesn't matter. We've observed that their actions are generally contrary to what they say. You may pull the lever for Democrat but all you get are Republican politics.
