Kevin McCarthy privately called for Twitter to ban certain Republicans—now he claims outrage that Twitter banned certain Republicans.

Donald Trump had the chance to do a prisoner swap for Paul Whelan—now he claims outrage that Biden didn't swap for Whelan.

The GOP voted unanimously to cut taxes for billionaires—now they claim outrage that the deficit has grown just as they knew it would.

The GOP has no values. They are power hungry extremists. Please get active, get organized, & vote them out

@QasimRashid I’m definitely not for the Republicans, but it’s hard to root for the Democrats when they showed a couple weeks ago that they’re also not for worker’s rights. Given that they blocked that railroad strike and sided with the CEOs.

@Meatwharf15 @QasimRashid I’m not an expert on the subject, but from what I’ve read thus far, it was the republicans that blocked the sick leave for the rail workers. Democrats just took what they could get rather than let a strike ruin the progress that has been made on The economy. My hope is that they will continue to actively negotiate a decent bargain for the workers without holding the rest of us hostage. #BillionairesSuck

@AngryAtheistTruckDriver @QasimRashid Republicans did block it, yes, but Democrats should have stuck to their principles and let the workers strike, rather than forcing them to agree to the CEOs demands, like every other strike-breaking administration.

@Meatwharf15 @QasimRashid I don’t disagree (completely), however it’s not that black-n-white. We are in the throes of what could become a monumental (Republican induced) recession. If they would’ve allowed a strike, at this point, the effects would have far exceeded the “we need to make a point” stage and would have pushed us over the edge. A recession of that magnitude could easily become another Great Depression. So we just have to take it on the nose for now. IMO
