but my biggest pet peeve is that they spend hours upon hours endlessly attacking Democratic proposals that seek to address real concerns of average people and tell us why this or that won't work and why but they never bother to offer up any alternatives or really any solution for anything at all. I know why that is- they just don't care about people not in their race/class/income bracket- but I wish that they'd just be more honest about the fact that they don't care instead of acting like they care but that they're just trying to save us from bad solutions and, in the process, obstructing the rest of us from trying to do right by the majority of people in this country. Since their ideas are supposedly so superior to ours and they have all the answers, surely they should be able to tell us their ideas and persuade the public to demand that they get adopted post-haste, right?
Yet, all they keep talking about is that damned "blank piece of paper" they want to start over with all the time whenever Democrats try to suggest something.
