You better do it quick while you still have the Senate because a Republican led Senate will not approve one of the people he is likely to nominate. We see what a partisan hack Merrick Garland is. Can't take a chance. |
How is he partisan? |
Investigating crimes is partisan? So much for the GOP claiming to be the party of law and order. |
Democrats aren't trying to cram anything down my throat. Republicans, on the other hand: -trying to ban abortion -talking about banning contraception -taking students out of school and into intrusive questioning without their parents present -book banning -fully unrestricted access to guns And that's just a few examples. There's no hope, no vision for the country, just endless trolling. |

Which Dems currently in office are talking about banning guns?
Kemp is talking about banning abortion. |
I mean contraception. |

OP here. I see that Democrats and Republicans do not agree on basic facts anymore. What Democrats value, see as truth, what outrages them, is completely opposite of what GOP voters think. There is no new laws, bills being negotiated.
I am tired of “gotcha” game GOP politicians are playing. I hear that GOP house members are readying tie up House in investigating conspiracy theories from last 4 years. Is there a way to divorce the red states from Blue states without disintegrating America? We cannot live together anymore. We should have plebiscite in each state to determine whether they want be in United States of Red America or United States of Blue America. Each newly created country should create their own new constitution. |

Here is the "official" Republican party platform off the national site:
Republicans believe in liberty, economic prosperity, preserving American values and traditions, and restoring the American dream for every citizen of this great nation. As a party, we support policies that seek to achieve those goals. Our platform is centered on stimulating economic growth for all Americans, protecting constitutionally-guaranteed freedoms, ensuring the integrity of our elections, and maintaining our national security. We are working to preserve America's greatness for our children and grandchildren. The Republican Party's legacy -- we were originally founded in 1854 for the purpose of ending slavery -- compels us to patriotically defend America's values. As the left attempts to destroy what makes America great, the Republican Party is standing in the breach to defend our nation and way of life https://gop.com/about-our-party/ Honestly, it seems like a troll post off DCum. Very inclusive sounding, but not really. |
| They are the ultimate lipstick on a pig party |
| Yes. Dems fall for it EVERY time. say your piece and move on. The way it works is for them to repeat themselves endlessly and get more and more extreme with every iteration. See the MV Desantis thread. Pisses me off that Dems continue to argue with people that argue in bad faith. Once and done. Cut them off. Media too. You don’t have to give airtime to trolls. |
| How is cutting them off going to do anything? They have their own media platforms, and they don’t need that many actual votes to hold power. |
| The GOP base are like children who don’t worry about being irresponsible or making bad decisions because they know that if the sh*t hits the fan, mommy and daddy will always bail them out. Like, for example, all of the Republicans who went along with the big lie about the 2020 election even though they knew it was BS. They knew that somebody, somewhere down the line would be the responsible adult and do the right thing, but it sure as hell wasn’t going to be them. I think a lot of the unvaxxed Republicans who died from COVID saw things the same way: They assumed they could behave irresponsibly and play silly political games without consequence because responsible doctors would save them at the last moment if it ever got to that point. This is the way they see the world: I’ll vote for unserious, dangerous, irresponsible people but I don’t have to worry about living a brutal dictatorship because someone responsible will sacrifice and do the right thing to prevent that from happening. |
| Why can’t we have Blexit/Rexit and end this tyranny of minority? |
NP. Saving this. It could be a useful reference post, regardless of how this plays out.

Doesn’t mean you let them hijack your own platforms and narratives. |
