WYSK: There funded by dark money PACS, but some good reporting has brought out these names: David Koch, Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman, Mark Cuban, Harlan Crow, and Michael Bloomberg. Some of there members are most famous for stopping big bills. Joe Leiberman, for example, single handedly stopped the single payer portion of the ACA. Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsen Simena kept the John Lewis voting rights act from passing, and famously kept the senate from repealing the filibuster.

    But yeah, Democrats have been the real problem the whole time…

    Totally. I shouldn’t expect Democrats to use the majorities we gave them over the last 40 years to do things that actually help the middle class, like codify abortion into law or enact a living wage. I should just, you know, listen to the speeches, clap, and accept excuses, as you do.
