    The number one priority from here until next midterms should be forcing Democrats like this or the 10 who censured Al Green. Primary them all with progressive populists.

        If they stayed for the entire address they should be primaried. One of your own gets kicked out of the session and you sit there like you don’t even know him?

          Imagine if after Greene gets kicked out, and HitlerPig starts yammering again, and ANOTHER Dem gets up and starts protesting, and gets kicked out. When HitlerPgs starts up again, ANOTHER Dem starts protesting. They should have kept going until there wasnt a Dem left in the chamber.

          The next day, nobody would be talking about what HitlerPig was talking about, everyone woumd be talking about the big Democratic revolt. It would be historical, and historians would talk about it for decades. It would have been an enormous historical embarrassment for HitlerPig.

            If each Democrat, in turn, pulled a Greene then Trump would’ve been there until midnight. Greene was the only one that got Trump to shut up!

        The population of Rason tend to find it difficult to vote in American elections.

        Good advice for many people in America though, yes.

      Hey. We just gotta vote harder ok. It’s definitely not just a planned opposition party that will never let there be a majority of actual progressives in their party.

        Hey. We just gotta vote harder ok.

        Dems and their sycophants for the last 40+ years whenever the Left call for progress or at least active resistance against backsliding:
