Indeed. For all their messiness and internal division, at least most elected Democrats are TRYING to change people's lives for the better. Republicans are doing literally nothing but shoring up Trump's ego, preventing people from voting, promoting COVID spread and banning books. https://t.co/NzNTYTAXD5
