Comment on Democratic Senators Team Up With MAGA To Hand Trump A Censorship Machine

The timing here is what makes this move particularly baffling…
It’s only baffling if you cling to the ever-more-laughable belief that the Democrats are any sort of meaningful opposition.
If you instead simply shift to the ever-more-supported belief thatvthey are in fact essentially oligarchic co-conspirators, then the timing makes perfect sense.

Yea, both Democrats and Republicans have a pretty solid history of voting in lock step on matters of giving themselves more power.

And they expect to control the White House soon. Why not set yourself up with more power for when you get power?

The same people who regularly give us uninspiring and insipid candidates to run against demagogues and repeatedly act surprised when they lose ground expect to gain control of a White House where the current president is treating democracy as if it’s an optional hindrance – expect to take power?
If nothing else, I admire their optimism.

Well, Biden won in 2020.
