    Do executive orders count?

    What about pro-union congressional bills that are being blocked by Republicans?

    What exactly is the Republican coherent and sound policy? Because the one I’ve seen is largely union-busting and cutting regulations on businesses. Democrats have definitely failed to show the work they’re doing and show how Republicans have fought tooth and nail to block and roll back worker protections, but it is entirely disingenuous to claim Dems “openly don’t give a shit about you.”

      When did I imply Republicans have anything better? Gonna blow your mind here: criticism of Dems is not support of Republicans.

      No, I’m not satisfied with symbolic efforts from Dems. Clearly, most of the country isn’t either.

        If your only options are someone who openly doesn’t give a shit about you, or someone who pretends to (even though they’re probably lying), you’re better off taking a chance on the lie.

        There. Where you say republicans are probably lying but you’re better off taking a chance on a lie. If you hold both parties to a different standard to the detriment of one, you’re supporting one of those parties over the other.

          You’re projecting your binary worldview onto me. Only way you could interpret it that way.

            You’ve been projecting the insides of your asshole all over this fucking thread.

            Shut up fuck off and stop pulling shit out if that gaping barn door of an ass while lying through your fucking teeth.

              Y’all get so offended by any criticism of the Blue MAGA cult. Wild you can so smugly laugh at the Red MAGA cult at the same time. No self-awareness.

                Man the libs are not ok.

                I hope many libs are quietly finding a new place on the left as the DNC leaves em, as their louder counterparts follow right and fash up. It’s really scary if that’s not the case.

                  Unfortunately, a lot of Dem supporters are following the party right instead. Never thought I’d see so many people deceive themselves into believing they’re the good ones, while openly supporting genocide.
