They’re not ashamed to be aggressive about being aggressive. But Dems aren’t willing to be forceful about enacting compassion. Republicans don’t mind appearing aggressive because it makes them look virtuous. But Dems have compassion mixed up with civility. Hence, they’re stymied

because they are ruthless and focus on their base agenda. D are ignoring their base.

Because unlike Dems they don't write strongly worded letters when actions are instead called for, nor do they spout platitudes to cover the tracks of their own inaction & they do not continually squander their accumulated power like the Dems have under Pelosi for years now.

They arent a big tent party like the democrats. What is the point of the blue dog democrats if they just vote along republican lines anyways?

Because they are smarter, meaner, richer.

Political Will.

Evil moves fast. I’m all for politeness, procedure and etiquette but this isn’t the time to be delicate.

Both parties are great about doing what they actually want to do

Ms Barrett was one of the rare cases where corporate party donors and voters were on the same page, and there was a limited window to get it done. Dem voters want COVID Relief, but corporate party donors really don't, so it needs to be negotiated.
