Yes, they do
I’m so tired of being told that “elections have consequences” and so the Democrats have no right to filibuster the cloture vote on Alito’s nomination.
Elections do indeed have consquences. In the U.S, the party that loses an election becomes the minority party. And minority parties have the responsibility of fighting against the tyrrany of the majority.
But are Democrats doing that? No. Well ok then. If they won’t fight for me, I see no reason to fight for them. I’m not going to forget this betrayal.
I’m not at all sure what I’ll do with my anger about this decision, but I’ve voted Green before, and they at least have some fight in them. Maybe I’ll do that again.
