Damn, I was hoping for a well documented compendium of Democrat L's that have been taken because they're too cowardly to stand up for their constituents.

(in case anyone wants a summary off the top of my head)

  • Failed to protect gay marriage (until the Supreme Court stepped in and did it for them, could be easily reversed any time by those dipshits)
  • Failed to protect abortion rights (left it to the Supreme Court, and here we are)
  • Failed to abolish any student debt
  • Failed to reduce wealth inequality by any meaningful measure.
  • Failed to promote a peaceful foreign policy (Obama and Biden)
  • Failed to implement card check
  • Failed to win elections with obvious unforced errors like running Hillary Clinton, probably the only political figure more despised than Donald Trump.
  • Failed to deschedule marijuana, and other drugs that aren't particularly harmful
  • Failed to meaningfully reduce healthcare costs, instead implementing a rebranded "Romneycare" access to insurance reform.
