"Unity" mattered to Democrats at the Dem convention this summer as they shut down Sanders and his thousands of supporters with DWS doing what she could to cheat America into a Clinton nomination.
My ass you wanted unity. Not when you have to compromise. And now look at where we are.
Since this 2-party system is now run by republicans, we don't need improvement from the other major party? Because Dems here have offered little towards leadership for the Democratic Party. I am not a troll, rather would like to see ( as everyone in this country would like to see) more coming from the party that needs to reinvent and take back the people and is actually called the "Democratic Party".0 -

You will never admit the shortcomings to the Democratic Party. That mentality is a real problem especially right now.mrussel1 said:

Perhaps if you type that same thought in the 400th different way, people will absorb it and give a shit.Free said:

'Filibuster Everything': Thousands Demand Schumer Do More to Stop Trump

anyone remember the old grey poupon commercials for the democratic party..."Principles or partisan? ahh but of course"
anyone ever hear that old democratic party saying... "half your battles dont have to be fought, by not showing up"
WASHINGTON – Following Senate Finance Committee Democrats’ unprecedented move to boycott two cabinet level committee confirmation votes, the Committee today passed a unanimous consent (UC) motion to suspend a rule regarding quorum requirements for nomination votes in an executive session to consider Steven Mnuchin to serve as U.S. Treasury Secretary and Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.) to serve as Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary.
Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), who described the Democrats’ protest as “the most pathetic thing,” outlined the details of the UC agreement, saying:
“The rules of the Finance Committee require a quorum to conduct any committee business, including the reporting of nominees. Specifically, under Rule 4, to achieve a quorum, one-third of committee members – including at least one member from each party – must be present. However, under Rule 19, the committee may opt to suspend any of its rules at any time. Senator Isakson asked for Unanimous Consent to suspend Rule 4 and all applicable rules for the purpose of voting on these two nominees. That request was agreed to after a successful appeal to my ruling on its germaneness, making the quorum requirements of Rule 4 and all other rules that could prevent a vote on these nominations inapplicable. We then proceeded to vote on the nominations. For the record, I’ll note that the Senate Parliamentarian Office has confirmed that this course of action is consistent with both the committee and Senate rules. I will also note for the record that every Republican member of the committee was present and voting, exceeding the one-third requirement for a quorum under Rule 4. The only thing missing was a member from the minority side. But, as I noted, they, on their own accord, refused to participate in this exercise.”
Hatch went on to note, “We took some unprecedented actions today due to the unprecedented obstruction on the part of our colleagues. As I noted earlier, the Senate Finance Committee has traditionally been able to function in even the most divisive political environments. Personally, as longtime member of this committee, I have been proud of that distinction. And, in my time as both Ranking Member and Chairman of this committee, I have bent over backwards to preserve its unique status as one of the few places where Republicans and Democrats not only work together, but achieve results. That all changed yesterday. Republicans on this committee showed up to do our jobs. Yesterday, rather than accept anything less than their desired outcome, our Democrat colleagues chose to cower in the hallway and hold a press conference. Now, I get that my colleagues think these nominees are controversial. I get that they don’t want to see them confirmed. We’ve all been in that situation. It comes part and parcel with the job of being a Senator. And, this is hardly the first time a nominee deemed to be controversial has come before this committee.”
Hatch further reaffirmed his commitment to returning the Committee to its bipartisan roots, “Needless to say, this discussion isn’t over. I intend to get the committee back to where it once was, and I will use every tool at my disposal, procedural or otherwise, to make sure this doesn’t become the new normal for the Senate Finance Committee.”0 -
