It’s sort of excruciating watching progressive Congresspeople tweet out their frustration with obviously the same sense of powerlessness that the rest of us feel.

OR hear me out: we could pass Medicare for All, guarantee health care to everyone as a human right, and ensure that 7-year-olds don’t have to worry about how they’ll pay for brain surgery.

Yet they are not powerless.
Replying to @marwilliamson
They have tremendous power but refuse to use it. Lots of tweets though...

That's a lie. They are not powerless and u know it. Why are u lying to protect them? They could threaten to withhold their vote. But don't. Why are u protecting them? What's in it for you?...
Replying to @marwilliamson
Mainly because they could do something but are pretending they can't. Too cowardly to form a bloc.
