I don't get it

Republicans/Conservatives talk the most trash and are always disparaging democrats/liberals. They never compromise or try to get to know us. They fight us on EVERYTHING and all things are political to them. They spread hate and misinformation. But somehow it’s always up to the Democrats to find common ground and compromise, or to get to know and understand Trump voters. And anytime Democrats fight back we get labeled as the party unwilling to work together.

This why the MSM is complicit in destroying democracy

CNN front page using words like “Democrats fail to advance national protections” and “Democrats didn’t have enough support in their own party”…..when they should be saying “republicans obstruct” or “Republicans block voting rights”…..I really hate the media

Manchin and Sinema's dumb argument about

The filibuster leading to bipartisanship and compromise. I contend that having the filibuster leads to more partisanship and not compromising because the minority knows that they don’t have to and can hold up legislation. Getting rid of the filibuster incentivized the minority to compromise so that they can at least try to shape a bill that will get passed anyway.

How are Biden's Covid numbers slipping

It’s like Biden is trying to put out a fire to a building, and the people who live in the building refuse to come out, and the person who started the fire has also blocked the path to the fire hydrant…and then they blame Biden for not getting them out or putting out the fire

Tired of the false narrative

For the last 40 plus years the republicans have lived in their right wing bubble. They have demonized liberals/democrats with name calling, lies, and propaganda that included hate talk radio, drudge/Briebert, and foxnews. They are the loud mouths who have constantly made everything political. They are the ones who have constantly showed off their hate and politics by their stupid car bumper stickers and flags….they have treated Democrats as the enemy not their fellow countrymen…..and finally democrats have decided to fight back…..:and somehow liberals are getting labeled as the people who can’t get along with the other side and looks down on them and the ones dividing this is country….I have heard those sentiments expressed by two supposed liberals or democrats (bill Maher and tulsi gabbard)….
