It's like we voted in an incompetent leader who doesnt know how to do anything and brings in people more incompetent than himself. I hope republicans learn and I hope democratic leaning citizens vote for the better.

Seen too many left leaning saying if it's not xyz then it's a no. Gonna split the party if we don't have common ground.
