a generation of young Republican staff members appears to be developing terminal white nationalist brain. And they will staff the next Republican administration.

    What are you even on about? They basically never have control. 4 years out of the last 24 years, and you say they’ve wasted (?) it?

      Yes, they have wasted it. Unless you consider preserving the filibuster, strikebreaking, killing bbb, and killing the public option to be accomplishments.

      We gave them majorities, and they refused to use them.

      Before you reply with the article about the IBEW being happy with Biden, we’re talking about congress, not Biden.

        You’re all over the map with your replies. You just said “Thanks to centrist Democrats like Manchin, they can do it with 0.” as in the GOP can block Biden and the Dems.

        Biden is doing a fuckton. But anyway we’re back to “Biden had it for 2 years, why don’t we have Jetsons life!” See the whole post again, Dems have had control for 4 years of the last 24 years. But you want to say “why aren’t they doing anything”. It’s unreal.

          And when Republicans don’t have a majority, just enough Democrats step in to block progressive policy for them, yes.

          Your assertion that Biden is doing a fuckton is unsupported, and your bullshit about the Jetsons is an idiotic strawman. I’d tell you to do better, but if you had defensible positions, you wouldn’t need to keep spamming bullshit.
