Why? They had a big hand in causing this mess in the first place.

They haven't had enough senate seats to have a hand in anything for over a decade. 48 or less for 6 consecutive whole congresses.

The opposition is literally killing people.

Why do you think that is? Do you think the fact that they fought harder against Bernie than Trump have anything to do with it?

They impeached trump, they gave third party Bernie a spot in their primaries and be came in second place by about 3 Million votes in 2016 and 9 Million votes in 2020.

The comment makes this claim:

That DNC's Brazile was helping HRC's campaign team prepare for the debates by giving them questions ahead of time.

It cites THIS article where the BERNIE SANDERS CAMPAIGN TEAM defended her!

One Sanders’ staff defended Brazile in the wake of the email’s release, separating her from the DNC officials implicated in this summer’s hack.

“I can’t speak to what she did or didn’t send to Clinton people. All I can speak to is the relationship our camp had with her,” Symone Sanders, a former Sanders campaign press secretary, wrote to Politico Monday. “During the primary, Donna regular reached out for messaging guidance from us and was very helpful. She was even handed and we all had a great working relationship with her.”

I can't believe it's 2025 and I'm still talking to idiots about Hillary's Emails, jfc.
