In ‘Emotional’ Meeting After ‘Embarrassing’ Gun Bill Vote, Democrats Learn Their 2018 Blue Wave Isn’t So Blue

"... their promise to their constituents was that they were going to put people over politics."

Just a couple of months into their new reign in the House after the "blue wave" election in 2018, Democratic leaders are coming to find that they're not quite as unified as they'd hoped they'd be — and that some of the moderate Democrats elected in districts Trump won in 2016 are actually willing to do what the increasingly radical leadership of the party is committed to never doing: compromising at times with Republicans.

Where's the health care reform Democrats promised when they got elected?

Absolutely 9:00 pm. Promises, promises...all a smoke screen to get elected only to add numbers to the attempt to overthrow the government.

God forbid that politicians actually represent their constituents, instead of voting blindly on party lines. That latter sounds more like totalitarianism. Why not call it the Politburo.
