Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Every time they rely on the left they lose. Like we just saw that. They relied on the left coming out for abortion rights and to save mfing democracy and they couldn't even do that.
You seem to have confused "relying on the left" with "taking the left for granted and moving to the right." Which is what they did, why they lost, and the only thing you want them to ever do.
If capable they would have passed abortion law, that is not "taking the left for granted and moving to the right" lol.
And I see you're still on your strawman lol. See other reply.
Sure they would have. Like the last two times they had a majority and didn't fucking feel like it.
You mean the last 4 months they had in the last 44+ years? Which Obama used to get the ACA through. I barely blame him for that.
BUT that wasn't even the point, which you're ducking. You said take the left for granted and don't offer them anything. Well they literally didn't, and they literally offered them exactly what they wanted. And the left didn't show up.
The 4 mOnThS they also were happy to use to bail out wall street? Those 4 months?
And they also had a majority for the first two years of Biden's term. They had enough seats to kill the filibuster forever and protect Roe. They chose not to. Now make more excuses. Maybe the sun was in their eyes. Their dog ate the bill.
I said they take the left for granted and move to the right. I didn't say they didn't offer anything. You know what you call it when you make up someone's opinion, knock it down, and then declare victory? IT'S A FUCKING STRAWMAN, you insufferable giant hypocrite.
And as for what they "offered," it was shit they "offered" multiple times in the past and kept conveniently getting in their own way. Do that enough, you lose credibility.
See I made a mistake. I should have left you pondering your "AND" operator of yours. You tried to duck and distract (to both me and yourself), which I responded to.
So I'll leave today to think about you breaking that "AND" operator that you insist on other people.
When you're wrong, you just ignore my entire comment and spout nonsense.
