Option A: this was an "at least we did something even though it's just a start" situation which Republicans could cross the line for with little blowback

Option B: this was a big deal, disproving previous claims that the GOP cant cross lines without major blowback


that is unless u meant HRC's 1980's-90s work against super predators.

No child left behind was bipartisan.

so republicans can work with democrats without blowback? im just confused now.

Are you claiming there wasn't blow back from that shitty law?

It was also 2004 or some shit.

By the way I was quoting you when I said they would be called a RINO cut off and primaried for working across party lines. You said that when you said the Republican party was not a governing party less than a week ago. I see your confusion and raise.

where to even begin.. LOL

you said: dems are an umbrella

(i took this to mean you were referencing intersectional politics from banded minority groups and woke whiteys)

i said: the GOP is that too (just mostly white minus some conservative catholic latinos and conservative religious blacks like Jehovas)

you said: but we can work with them and they cant work with us

i said: they rarely work together at all, for decades now, left right w/e

you said: look at this small bit we did together recently

i thought: but u said they cant work with you


whether u can or cant work with the other side depends on a lot of factors, how big the thing is, if its seen as a win or a concession, etc. and in any case both sides are intersectional and rarely work with the other side.

if we're still confused ill have to push all in on confusion.

Sure. All the time. Many of the most successful Republicans work hand in hand with Democrats. Look at Romney, as a simple example.

The problem isn't Republicans. It's not even moderate democrats. The problem boils down to progressives and socialists. Nothing more, nothing less.

"Give them an inch, they'll try to beat you to death with the ruler."

You can't honestly believe this. Republicans changed historical precedent and refused to even hold votes for supreme court justices on the hope of winning the election so they could then get what they want and refuse to their damn civic duty.

The far left doesn't have real political power. They just get thrown bones by corporations who are just playing them like fiddles.

The far left's messiah bernie sanders has literally lost twice to neo-liberal establishment candidates. And now Bernie and other so called progressives of the party are falling in line cause they still want the hope of having political clout.

While you point out some things that may be true..
If you think R don't have the same versions.. you are not being truthful.. Mich McConnell for one.. That MF'r has sold his soul to push trump agenda.

that post you're responding to was so bad lol. "its not my sides fault it's ALL your sides". just dripping with naivety.
