General Discussion

I don't recall a single bill being advocated or a single executive order that would compel these people to pay their fair share of taxes. Not one action to hold their social networks accountable for the hate speech they foster. Not one occasion when their attempts to monopolize industries were opposed even gently. Never an attempt to roll back the concentration of corporate control over our biggest media outlets. And certainly never a single step taken to prosecute any of them for price fixing.

Perhaps none of these things would have succeeded, given the narrow majorities that we had in Congress. But dammit, when you are President, you have to try. Even if you fail, you have to let the public know what you are fighting for.

When Democrats refuse to use the power the voters give them, then we have no right to complain when the voters don't stand with us the next time.
