Editorial: Congress needs to do its job and we need to do our job

Socialists like Kyle Kulinski and Jake Johnson are attacking Democrats.  That's what Socialists do.  They're not Democrats.  The ones in political closets never attack their own -- hell, as Eoin Higgins demonstrates, they don't even hold their own accountable.  (See Ava and C.I.'s "Media: OWNED finds Eoin Higgins owned by bad journalism" and not that Sam Seder is now pimping Eoin which probably tells you something about Sam if you stop and think.) 

We hate to break it to the idiots and liars and con artists of DSA but they need to stop playing Jill Stein and blaming the Democrats exclusively.

Are Republicans not members of Congress?

We're not hearing about them from the laughable MOVEON -- walkon, walkon.org,  Why is that?



In the month since Trump took his oath of office, critics say, instead of standing up for Congress and flexing the new powers the Supreme Court bestowed on the institution, congressional Republicans have all but surrendered their oversight responsibilities as they’ve ceded unprecedented power to President Donald Trump and his billionaire sidekick, Elon Musk.


Guess what?  If you live in Texas and are a Democrat?  You still have two US senators -- John Cornyn and Ted Cruz.

Idiots are saying, "Make demands on Democrats."  Sure, do that.  But don't be a fool like Jill Stein.

If Democrats in Maine -- a number who vote for Susan Collins -- had pressured her on Tulsi Gabbard, she might not have voted to confirm her.

Equally true, you're a constituent.  They don't need to know anything else.  They don't need to know your party i.d.  They're supposed to represent you.

Right now, Republicans control the House and the Senate.  If it our job, as citizens, to make sure that our representatives in Congress -- regardless of political party -- know where we stand.

Let Kyle and Cenk focus on creating a new collective of Justice Socialists.  Let us focus on the real world and demand that members of Congress, regardless of party i.d., represent us, the constituents.  We are their boss. Let's start acting like it.
