(21,146 posts)state the facts of what has happened. It's not partisanship, just truth.
Besides, Republicans have no problem with saying the most outrageously partisan spin, with no foundation in reality. Dems can speak the blunt cold facts. They speak for themselves.
Saying nothing allows the Republican narrative to dominate.

In the end, as soon as a Dem speaks truth to power the right tries to completely destroy them.
It will will take a lot more than a few congressman and women to stand up in solidarity and speak out. Right now all we have is a few. So they only carry so much weight.
I despise the Republican Party, I think it's bordering on an insane clown posse bowing to the cult of personality, but I don't think people who are Republican are all pieces of shit, SOME of them do care about our nation and Democracy and as we have seen from the crazy ass Republicans we DO hate, they fight like hell and nothing holds them back. That is probably native to those Republicans WHO DO have integrity.
Good on them.
