Let us check in with our hashtag-Resistance buddies to see what they’re up to:
-voted for Alex Azar, the pharma exec that, among other things, tested erectile dysfunction drugs on children to skirt patent law
-Vote to re-up FISA until 2023 with no curb on warrantless spying
1/?

-Promised they would vote for DREAMERs, then broke that promise spectacularly after capitulating to every Trump demand
-Are now defending HRC, who refused to fire a known sexual harasser from her close circle; re-hired him again in 2016.
2/?

-Got furious when Trump called countries “shitholes”; quiet when Trump bombed those countries and promised to remain occupying Syria indefinitely
-Are offering more in military spending than Trump asked for
-Have not demanded DACA be a part of the must-pass budget

-Have not mentioned Doug Jones has voted with Trump 100% of the time since winning his senate race. Jones has repeatedly voted against the interests of the WoC who got him elected. Hashtag-Resistance has been quiet.

-Are now looking to Joe Kennedy III, a man who is quoted as saying single payer is impossible as the great New hope for the Democratic Party.
He is anti-legal marijuana and decriminalizing drugs. He has also taken a crap-ton of money from big pharma and their lobbyists.

-Have not responded to the Medicare For All Town Hall streamed on online media outlets that received 1.1 million views as it aired live.
Over a million Americans took 2 hours out of their day to listen to healthcare policy on new media. Not a peep from H-R

-Dem Party leadership continuing to choose candidates for 2018/2020 on their ability to fundraise and please donors instead of on principles or desire to work in the interests of the American people. No comment from hashtag-Resistance

-Are still blaming Jill Stein voters and Susan Sarandon for Trump’s election.
-Are still more angry in general with progressives than with the right wing.

-Have turned George W Bush’s 18% Democratic approval rating into a 56% approval rating. Apparently his war crimes and human rights catastrophes are fine and dandy because Trump is a crass idiot.

-Are seriously proposing Oprah run for POTUS.
-Have rehabilitated the careers of incredibly deplorable W-era GOP personalities and made them and their shitty opinions revelant again... Bill Kristol, Mitt Romney, etc etc

-Have applauded or excused Trump every time he has allowed or ordered reckless and violent action overseas
-Have ginned up xenophobic hysteria over Russia in order to resist change in the Democratic Party after the stunning loss to the Circus Peanut with Shoes

Unfortunately, I’m sure there will be more to come.
Stay tuned...
