And, look at whats happening in the House, whats happening in the Senate: Democrats support this, or at least do not oppose it, or work to shut down opposition on this issue.
There are a few Democrats against this. But leadership supports whats happening.
Yes, we all know and agree that dem leadership is a problem. Thanks for pointing it out for the 9,999,998th time. Thank God we have people like you out there...
And yet, people like you demand we vote blue no matter who, and insist that the time for inter-party feuding is during the primary. And then when there is a primary, you tell people to shut the fuck up and not criticize leadership.
Interesting way to put words into other people's mouths. That's called projecting, wrong party.
If you don't want people to notice that you don't want people criticizing leadership, don't whine that people are criticizing leadership.
If you don't agree with the party's genocidal leadership, you must be a paid shill! At least according to people who agree with genocide.
Quit whining that not everyone is as delighted with genocide as you are.
Sorry, which party are you referring to? It gets so confusing?!
If I was referring to republicans, I wouldn't have specified party leadership.
The democratic party still has some non-genocidal members. Not you, though.
Democrats are so good. They only lost because you couldn't see how good they were. If you weren't so stupid, we wouldn't be in this situation
Democrats are fine. You're exaggerating. The only reason you think they're not good is because you fell for Russian propaganda.
Democrats might suck, but Republicans suck worse. You have to support the lesser of two evils.
Democrats are awful but everyone already knew that. Shut up, already. <-- You are here
Democrats and Republicans are an evil duopoly. We should support a third party candidate. Someone who is moderate enough for both liberal and conservative voters to support.
The Third Party is so good. They only lost because you couldn't see how good they were. If you weren't so stupid, we wouldn't be in this situation.
Bring Back the Monarchy
That's cute, you made a whole lil list and everything. Good for you! You are special. All one would ha e to do is look at my comment history to prove you wrong, but that sounds like work 😮💨
Condescension is no substitute for defensible ideas, but at least centrists are consistent in settling for the woefully inadequate.
"Are we still talking about the epstein files" vibes right there.
I'm sure you won't need to be reminded then, when people are being pressured into ABWD.
I would like to know what ABWD means
any blue will do
Have no idea what that acronym is and don't really care either?!
Itt: people who come to a political space, for discussing politics, and then get mad when you do so.
People are always talking about the weather, but nobody is serious enough to do anything about it.
Frankly, I wish they'd just stop mentioning it at all.
Answer always seems to be to vote for different weathermen but sure seems to keep raining.
Didn't the senate just vote to stop this basically along party lines, failing because there are more republicans right now?
Dems dragged their feet on a bipartisan bill for almost 2 weeks, at the behest of Schumer, Jefferies, until Trump actually did the thing and it was too late to stop them. It has literally been in the news since Khanna and Massie introduced the bill for 2 weeks.
If you interpret todays vote as "Dems oppose what Trump is doing..."
"What do you even want the Democrats TO DO about it?!"
points to a thing they should do
"Fuck you! That's not serious. It would never work. You've been baited into believing a utopian fairy tale!"
