    Guess we did not vote hard enough for the Democrats and voters did not vote left enough oh and those Republicans

    As the ol’ Democrat motto goes

    -We will fix it later because progress not perfection and one step at time

      Every day I thank the Voyager dev for user tags…
      screenshot of the above poster tagged as “bOTh SiDEs r bAd”
      I’ve had them tagged as “bOTh SiDEs r bAd” for months now, and it has virtually always held true. Nearly every single time I see a post from them, it is some sort of “but but but Democrats caused this. We should be blaming them instead of the people who actually voted for it” type of rhetoric.

      Schumer whipped Senate democrats to vote for cloture on the bill that gave ICE this funding because he was afraid of a shutdown months ago. He is still minority leader.

        Look, if you’re scooping turds out of a punch bowl, and the only tool you have is a net that might be made of turds, then you can either keep scooping or you can throw away the whole bowl of punch. You don’t just give up and drink the punch because it’s all the same. One is a turd in the punchbowl. The other is a mechanism for removing the turds, but it’s also probably a turd. Doing something is still doing something, even if the punch is still shit.

          You can either hold your nose and eat the turds or agree to permanently become the tail end of a human centipede. You got the centipede because you threw away the turds despite every minority begging you not to. Enjoy the centipede.

            Exactly.

            “Here. I’m either going to give you this this sandwich, or I can hit you with this bat.”

            “Fuck you. I don’t like the sauce on the sandwich. Ouch! Curse this bat that has nothing to do with my decisions!”

              None of you seem capable of taking a step back and realizing that there are more options than being force-fed a turd sandwich or getting hit with a bat. You’ve already lost if you’re willfully limiting yourself to these two options because those will only ever be your options until you decide you’ve had enough of both.

                  If I walked up to you and told you I was going to hit you in the face or the groin and to pick one, you’d dutifully pick one and tell everyone how smart you were to pick what you did and how no one else is such a pragmatic chooser as you, you supreme master of contrived trolley problems.

                  I’ll tell you one thing for sure, if anything gets better in the next few years it wont be because of the centrist dems like yourself.

                  What a nothing comment. If you had something to “inform me” with you would have done it instead if pretending like you have some special insight into fixing our problems by giving the Dems another turn at the helm as if they haven’t been steering us to this very point too.

            What? In my metaphor, Democrats are the nets made of sometimes poop, and Republicans are the turds. Was that not clear?
