    Oh maybe because of fucking 9/11. JFC.

    Or maybe because they obstruct fucking everything. JFC. And then they can stack the courts. C’mon think about this.

    Or maybe because they have fucking Fox News spewing propaganda. JFC can you not see this?

    Or maybe because actual intellectual policies need time and support, instead of GOP appealing to fear and hysteria. And needs support of fucking congress (both houses!) to actually pass things and get things done. Cmon this is obvious. Do you get that? Dems essentially need all 3 to do practically anything (and still needs to get past the filibuster). Whereas the GOP gets on just fine by not doing anything. Gop gets 1 or 2 of those 3 and they can block so much.

    Or maybe because the Dems still try to reach across the aisle. While the GOP doesn’t. Cmon.

    That’s just off the top of my head. Come the fuck on, think about this instead of just trying to justify not voting out of protest. Why am I bothering. You have do a lot better than this.

      I never said I wasn’t voting, or that others shouldn’t.

      Or maybe because they obstruct fucking everything. JFC. And then they can stack the courts.

      This is what I’m saying! Democrats keep trying to meet Republicans in the middle, and Republicans just push further and further to the right. That is, regardless of intention, enabling! I feel like you are asking the world of voters, when the party itself won’t even play hardball with the fascist nutjobs they’re supposed to be opposing

        JFC, why can the GOP obstruct? Because they can when they have a majority in EITHER the house or senate. And they can get that at any point. Read that again, they can get that at any fucking point. It’s not from Dems meeting in the middle just because. Come the fuck on. You don’t even know what’s going on.

        So WHEN the GOP has ONE of those, the Dems are FORCED to reach across the aisle. Why do I think I have to caps certain words for you to understand. Fucking forced to. Because you/voters didn’t give them the house or the senate. And if they don’t reach across the aisle the whole fucking government will be shut down just like they did to Obama. You can’t play fucking hardball, do you have any clue what will happen if the country defaults on its debt? Come the fuck on, you don’t even know how things work but you want to blame Dems. JFC. You seriously have no clue how things work. Sorry not sorry, but you have no clue.

        So how do you make sure the GOP doesn’t get one of them so they can obstruct, which FORCES the Dems to reach across the aisle? You fucking vote. JFC. This is so fucking simple to understand. Vote. Give the Dems all 3 consistently and things can move.
