The reason people are angry is because when things are reversed and Republicans “don’t have the levers of power”, they don’t let that stop them from getting their way. No, Republicans figure out a way.
Republicans will come up with some obscure rule or law from the 1800s, or bribe/threaten Democrats in swing/conservative areas to join them, or not allowing a vote on something via underhanded means, or whatever.
Hell, just look at Mitch McConnell denying Obama a Supreme Court seat. That was illegal. McConnell got away with it. Not only do Democrats refuse to stoop as low as Republicans to get what they want with their “when they go low, we go high” BS, but Democrats won’t even put up a fight when the Republicans are clearly in the wrong.
That’s why so many people are saying, “Do something!” to Democrats. Because we all know that if the parties were reversed, Republicans would damn well be doing something, even if that ‘something’ is illegal or just plain morally wrong.
Republicans had control of the senate when Obama was denied the Supreme Court nomination — Mitch McConnell was the Senate majority leader. So, no, parties weren’t reversed in the Senate, Democrats didn’t have (all) the levers of power at that time.
If the Democrats weren’t so spineless, Garland would be a Supreme Court Justice right now…
…But then again, maybe it’s for the better. Seeing how often Garland slept on the job while he was Attorney General, Garland’s performance shows he was clearly a poor choice for either Supreme Court Justice or Attorney General in the first place.
We’re all tired of Democrats being weak, incompetent, and useless for anything other than collecting lobbyist bribes and insider trading info. No more excuses. Do better, Democrats.
