He's fucking right. They'd be blowing the damn roof off the place if anyone else was pulling this bullshit.

And they’d be right to. The question is why are Democrats so quiet?

Are the Democrats quiet? Many of them should definitely be stepping up and doing more, but don't discount people like Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Cory Booker.

Not to mention, this article is literally about a Democrat (albeit not one in Congress) speaking out.

Bernie Sanders is one of the USA's most notable Independents. Your first example of a good Democrat is literally not a Democrat. He often runs in their primaries but is not a member of the party and has never served in office as one.
