There is gridlock in Washington. Nothing gets done. Nothing moves forward. Democracy is dying a slow, calculated death and it is time to squarely lay blame on the institution at fault:
Specifically, the US Senate under the control of Mitch McConnell and today’s Republican party.
This is a party without shame. Without decency. They act in bad faith and they are to blame for the lack of action we see today in our nation’s capital.
Because of them, action on gun violence does not happen.
Because of them, action on climate change does not happen.
Because of them, action on health care does not happen.
Because of them, we have voting rights under assault.
Because of them, we have reproductive rights under assault.
Because of them, we have Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett.
And on and on. And we have had enough.
And yes, because of them, there is no relief coming to the millions of Americans suffering in this very preventable pandemic.
The time is here, the time is now. It’s time for the people to take back the United States Senate and put the power of democracy back in the hands of who it belongs to; OURS.
