Tonight Democrats proved that old quip.
If a genie gave Democrats 3 wishes, they'd negotiate it down to 1, and then wish for something they think Republicans will like.
We need a true opposition party now more than ever. Because this aint it.

Almost every one reinforced a common fossil fuel industry talking point—that climate change is exaggerated, that solutions don't work, and that fossil fuels = freedom

It’s still unclear to me what the cutoff in deaths is that allows to still call it a “ceasefire” but what do I know. Maybe when only one side keeps killing, 50% of the parties involved are holding the agreement, so *on average* and rounding up, it’s a ceasefire
