Okay so *now* everyone's done taking these anti-democratic clowns seriously, yes? How 'bout let's stop pretending Republicans have any interest in legislating.

It can't be fun having nothing but denial & heartless talking points in response to a deadly pandemic 1/ Some of you have tried easing your guilt with off-the-record media interviews -- acknowledging the horror of Trump while doing absolutely nothing about it. But we need to talk about your party's resort to cheating in this year's elections rather than competing on the up and up 2/
