the most shameless woman this town has ever seen

this is such a stupid take and emblematic of a lot of critiques i have of all-or-nothing leftists. god forbid an elected official puts out a respectful professional statement about the death of a colleague, i guess??

There is no reaching across the aisle with Republicans and has not been for twenty years. They have committed themselves to refusing to do anything of use. The *only* thing that matters is getting enough Democrats in office to actually pass things.

What we need are people who are, bare minimum, not going to care about some shit-for-brains dying far too late for the amount of harm he did the nation. Every single Dem who thinks Graham *deserves* professionalism given his capitulation to outright fascism is either an idiot or someone who cannot be trusted to consistently uphold rights.

And not for nothing, being able to work across the aisle is still a valuable skill. The senate just passed a bipartisan bill to make housing more affordable as of July 11, 2026. This would not have happened if all Democrats refused to work with/be civil to Republicans.
