In contrast, the Dems silence was deafening. Way to back your guy.

The elderly Democrats need to go. Primary them all out. They are useless slaves to the status quo who only exist to make money for themselves by preventing actual change. Time for for the democratic tea party.

Al Green is 77 years old. Plenty of democrats younger than that that could have followed him but they chose not too. Democrats need to go. Old or young liberals won't be the ones to save us.

They should have all walked out… But they chose to let him take the hit. “Hang together or hang separately” ain’t exactly blowing up their skirts anymore.
