Why aren't Ds loudly laying the 119,000 COVID deaths squarely at tRump's feet? Oops. Biden just did!

You know the Rs would be doing it if a D was POTUS.

We have numerous reports that state unequivocally that tens of thousands of Americans would be alive today had tRump acted sooner. Those reports even break it down by how many lives could have been saved if he had taken action by Day X. Why are those reports not cited, often and strongly?

The Rs are doing everything they can to IGNORE the virus, to act like things are back to normal, and of course that “no one coulda guessed” how bad it would get. Hell, infections are SPIKING UP as we speak, yet the discussion isn’t centered on combatting the spread of the virus. No blame gets laid so no one is to blame. Why?

C’mon Ds, fight fire with fire.

Biden is doing it. Pelosi is doing it. Many senators, congresspeople, governors, mayors and local officials are doing it. What else do you want?

And the proof is in the studies that demonstrated somewhere around 60% of these deaths didn't have to happen, and the percentage may be higher now (those studies were a month ago).

So, I think for the most part they are, but they should use those studies that back them up.

The infection rate/death toll and economy are directly related to Trump's failures.

...at the feet of the Governor's while retaining the right to criticize the manner in which they secure the safety of their citizens.
A typical ass wipe of a move from a person who cannot give you the definition of responsibility.
