I'm open to voting R and have been paying attention, but haven't heard any realistic solutions from Rs. The only thing I hear from them is about cutting entitlements, which I don't support. The rest of what they are saying is mostly about getting payback on the Ds, which I won't be voting for. I don't need even more corrosive politics. |
You mean to tell me that the party based entirely on contrived culture war wedge issues doesn't have any substantive policy ideas? I'm shocked, just shocked. |
That’s because nothing but retribution (and cutting entitlements is retribution from FDR’s time they’ve been seeking since then) is on the list. Republicans trying to talk about what Republicans will do substantively is like waiting for UFO disclosure. It’s always sometime. Tomorrow we’ll tell you something big. That’s going to happen later. Just wait, something big. |
It absolutely boggles my mind that people want to go back to 2016-2020, when it was always infrastructure week and a big beautiful health plan was perpetually two weeks away from being written into law. |
To say nothing about the constant assaults on everyone’s mental wellbeing. Remember how legitimately horrifying it was to wake up and find out what stupid or horrible thing Trump had done overnight? |
thank you. this is exactly why I originally posted that I have yet to hear them make any true proposals to fix anything I just read an op-ed that is WaPo recently about how there is very little that Dc can actually do about inflation and crime, which is why there is very little they can actually propose. Yet they'll get people crazy about it and swear they can fix it. Ugh, learn from history, dummies! These people get into office and do NOTHING but endless investigations against the other side and propose no actual policies that might help people. |

Who cares about the polls? Far away from an election they are pretty meaningless because most voters aren't paying attention. Close to an election, might as well just wait and see how people vote. |
It was so horrifying, and more so when you consider that they’ve been promising more of the same. |
And constant fiscal brinkmanship, holding the budget and approps process hostage. Threatening to default or shut down the goverment. Why? Because they want to take away your social security. . . . and this is what some people want? |
Trump is the behavioral inspiration for most of the GOP clowns, so I think it’s fair to revisit some of the threads from his years. Reread and remember the godawful quality of day to day life, how Trump eroded everything. How he failed so spectacularly at handling covid that it became a runaway virus and over a million Americans officially died from covid. https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/695565.page https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/15/659475.page https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/739634.page https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/15/739405.page#13330057 And I didn’t even touch on the incessant golfing and tv watching, nor did I touch on the grifting. Or the nepotism. Or the general thuggery. And “moderates” want to go back to this? They think all the stuff Trump did was civil or something? |
Please please please let us hold the senate (and maybe even gain?)
If there is a lord…hear my prayer |
