I have been told this the current state. IS it or is it not

I am posting this so I have a platform to at least answer this question. Why are the Democrats so spineless?

Why are the Democrats so spineless?

At least 80% fall into the category below
And leadership (that's a joke) HOLD BACK THE 20% that are ready and willing to fight. AOC & Crockett for example.

They are far more interested in keeping their cushy job than they are concerned about what happens to the rest of us.

Our democracy is in serious jeopardy. And not one of the 80% has the guts to step up AND SAY ENOUGH.

1. Spineless or silent?

I think we just saw one reason they aren't making a lot of noise is because nobody is covering them while they are making noise. I also think they are using a number of SCIFs in order to plan their strategy for dealing with this. They are pretty well shackled legally.

That's how I see it at the moment. I could be wrong.
