Oh, and the bill they voted on also made hemp-derived THC products illegal.

I wonder which democrat was holding out for that.

So glad we ended the shutdown and got nothing out of it because democrats were promised a vote on this that they knew they wouldn’t win on.

Even bigger than the Nixon pardon.

They figured they don’t need to when they have two US parties that are happy to do whatever they want for free.

Conjure Animals:

A bunch of baby ducks.

He is what he chooses to be.

Well maybe if people could just say the three words right, they wouldn’t need to.

And prefer it over doing anything.

“Why can’t we flip red states?”

I think that people whose reaction to debt being dischargeable by bankruptcy is republican talking points are republicans.

that is what the rich want.

Your comments in this thread indicate that it’s what you want as well.

The process which enables this was introduced during the Biden administration.

The law that prevented being able to discharge student debt by bankruptcy it in the first place was championed by Senator Biden. He doesn’t get credit for a halfassed fix on a problem he created.

Can’t stand out. Cops’ll notice you.

If they weren’t already associated with fascists.

Pedophiles can’t redact pdf files?

The message is “we need a deus ex machina right about here.”

I have some very hot takes about the efficacy of the Sailor Scouts given exactly how much Tuxedo Mask does.

How much he does? He throws a flower and talks.

Democrats weren’t always like this. They weren’t always interested in chasing fascists to the right for the sheer joy of it.

The Democrats really suck. Our FPTP 2-party system is really some bullshit.

And this is the only lipservice you give to the notion that democrats’ constant and deliberate move to the right isn’t the best thing ever.

However, it is really difficult for me to buy into the validity of the slippery slope you are describing when the people around me keep voting for the option that is #1 worst by a whole fucking lot.

Republicans being evil excites their base. Democrats being evil excites only centrists. Unfortunately, that’s who runs the party so they’ll be as much like republicans as they think they can get away with.

And the further that #1 worst keeps surging and lapping #2 on the evil-dex, the further their psycho supporters seem to like it! We’ll see if the pedo shit can finally reverse that.

And when it doesn’t because it won’t, democrats will think the problem is just that they aren’t raping enough children. They either don’t understand or don’t care that they’re playing to different audiences.

This would be a different conversation if we’d elected democrats over and over to avoid republicans and somehow still got dragged to the right.

We elected biden and he was selling weapons for the genocide centrists preferred to lose to trump rather than abandon. No one dragged him there. He sprinted there on his own.

The fact that the democrats are the good cop capitalists to the republicans’ bad cop capitalists is definitely a problem, yes.

No, there are two bad cops. You just like that there aren’t any good ones and never want that to ever get any better.

But sometimes you have to fix things sequentially too.

And sometimes you have no one to vote for who is interested in fixing anything. Enjoy your pedo in 10 years. If it takes that long.

Four times running it’ll be, then.
