As I work on threading the 2020 #DemPartyPlatform for Twitter users, I often think about how the republicans this year did not meet (even virtually),hash out,debate or draft a 2020 platform of their own.What kind of major political party chooses this path? #GOPBetrayedAmerica
What does this say about the
Republican Party of today? Are they unorganized? Unmotivated? Unable to come to consensus? Unsure? Useless? Corrupt? Sycophantic? Why don’t we ask @senatemajldr Mitch McConnell? He’s been sorta quiet on the matter. #GOPBetrayedAmerica
A Platform is an essential document;a blueprint that envelops & embraces the party’s values,principles, plans, proposals & priorities. All we know about 2020 Republicans: they completely support the 45th president & his agenda even tho he has been impeached & removed by voters.
McConnell doesn’t really like Trump.But he’s found in him, a conduit for his greater plans. Trump is the useful idiot that has allowed Mcconnell to completely reshape the judicial system in the US and appoint arch conservatives in every possible spot, a well-known GOP Priority.
The power behind the deluded throne is obviously MCConnell who calls himself the “Grim Reaper” and has promised to sit on all Democratic proposals, even if they’re good ones, so as not to give them “a win.” Who loses: The American people. #GOPBetrayedAmerica
Our political system, our legislative system, our judiciary are all built on debate, compromise and consensus building.The idea that this one man, this wealthy, privileged, power-hungry man..can destroy all that while he smirks, is unthinkable. #MitchMustGo#MitchBetrayedAmerica
We must try to rebuild our Congress to work for us. It is OUR needs, OUR values and OUR principles that matter. We start by removing this man, McConnell, from his position of honor and absolute authority over #WETHEPEOPLE#OURCongress#NoMoreMitch
Remember this when you vote in #GA in the coming days and on January 5. Let’s start relearning how America is supposed to work and vote for those who have your interests, not their own at heart. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock have earned your vote and your trust..they show up!
