Democrats are supposed to be in the majority, but many of them cross party lines quite a bit to vote for bad bills and/or nominees. We have seen how shameless the Republicans are when it comes to using the filibuster. They don't give a damn and do whatever they want! Democrats need to get a little more aggressive, or we won't have any rights left in America.
