      yeah, when you look close enough it’s amazing how often that that answer is the only one, and how blatantly they do it.

      they say democracy dies in the dark, but if like 10% more people actually watched cspan when major votes take place i don’t think we’d keep many Republican politicians. it’s an amazingly one sided effort to obstruct every single Democratic policy no matter what it is. they threw the toy over the fence, sat down, and started screaming and shitting like 10 years ago and nothing positive has gotten done since. they are literally the party of intentionally breaking the government.

      there’s no way that many Americans actually want that…

      Ever since 2008, bipartisianship is dead. The Right cannot pass any bills while the Left is in charge, because then people would start supporting the Left.

      And the Right cannot pass any bills while the Right is in charge, because the Right is incompetent and worries about pronouns more than people not having places to live.

      Also, projection. They would withhold funding for disasters in blue states, so obviously Democrats would do the same to red states.
