i.e. they were fine with what was happening to our country, until there was a viable direct lethal threat to their well being

Of course there are reasons and actions that allowed the insurrection to happen

But isn't it also Ds responsibility to keep our country safe

I guess what I'm saying is, how is this a W for Ds?

They can poke their chest out a get a gold sticker for not storming the capitol...but it still happened...on their watch

Isn't it part of their job, also?

I think you're providing an example of what I'm referring to about not playing the same game as Rs

Kewl, they can claim some high moral ethical ground, clutch pearls, on some...well I would never

IMO, that does not absolve them of the complete dereliction of duty...yes, their duty also

We all knew it was coming
We all watched it happen over the course of the last 5 years
...D shrug...

Are you confident the same leadership can stave off another attack?

+1, one of the more interesting factoids that came out of the 16' election...both parties are minorities

Independents out number either party

This attempt to draw a line in the sand and divide up sides...is just not consistent with facts

F the Ds too.
