Like democrats shouldn’t even be complaining about the republicans withholding anything or compromising on anything if they actually believed their words.

But then I remember that the democratic voters, particularly the online types and neoliberals, are delusional and genuinely believe that their politicians are valiantly fighting republicans when in reality they’re just two pouty siblings being forced to hug each other by Mother Capital
