Can someone please provide context as to why this (not cheering) is protrayed as a valid reaction? I feel that I am missing some kind of context.
- During the state of the union address, Donald Trump made a 13yo, who beat brain cancer, an honorary member of the secret service. It was one of many emotional plays he made to make Democrats look bad for not cheering and standing and clapping like the Republican half of the room. He made multiple jabs at democrats for not applauding things he was doing.
  So obviously it all feels like pandering and emotional manipulation when he's also out there cutting Medicare/Medicaid and making things harder for people who are fighting things like brain cancer.
  
  So obviously it all ~~feels like~~ is pandering and emotional manipulation
  Don't hold back when you know you're right.
- Dems exist only as they can define themselves in opposition to their other party, with no ideologies of their own.
  
  Ahem.
  Senator Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat of my state, pushed a bill called the Accountable Capitalism Act, requiring the board of each major company to be 40% voted in by their employees. In my eyes it would have been a fantastic move to limit capitalism’s damage. It did not pass because half of the senators in Congress are in a cult.
  Take. That shit. Out. Of your mouth.
  
  Yeah, I’m sure it had nothing to do with the fact that many democrats also wouldn’t support it so it never reached the floor.
  Just because there’s a handful of Dems that are worth a damn doesn’t mean the party does not have an identity that isn’t “We’re not Trumps party”.
  
  Lmao corporate dems have more ideas than the traitorous dribble that comes out of your Russian bootlicking lips, and I hate the corpos
  
  Lmao imagine calling someone a traitor because they criticized the heckin blue team. Dems have no platform, no message, the only thing they have going for themselves is that they are not Trump. As far as they’re actions go, democrats are just controlled opposition.
  
  Sorry I'm trigger happy against anyone that I interpret as even remotely MAGA right now.
