    Democrats are in the minority so they can’t even say anything.

    That’s not how it works. Their job isn’t just to vote on legislation. It’s also to advocate for what’s best for their constituents.

    Saying nothing in the face of colossally blatant corruption is dereliction of duty by anyone elected to represent the people. Especially ones who pretend to represent everyone with opinions left of fascism.

    It’s certainly not because they don’t want to

    Sure looks like it, based on checks notes their words, actions, and lack of both for decades, including when they were in the majority.

    Hell, even the bill they hailed as the “biggest climate change bill ever” made any expansion of renewable energy contingent on a dramatic increase in leases of government land for the purpose of fossil fuel extraction.
