Probably would have been team blue if Biden was in office, but it doesn’t make sense for the republicans to defy their president
Why doesn't it make sense? All I see is Republicans blocked it, and Democrats didn't. Why wouldn't they make the Democrats look bad?
Seriously. If the Rs played chicken and voted yes (at least most of em), the dems would be forced to blink and that would be a slam dunk and the republican party wouldn't have to 180 so hard on epstein right now.
You’re assuming corporate dem leadership is different than corporate republican leadership. More than anything, they care about power and money….
Okay, I still don't understand anything other than the Republicans voted to protect child sex predators, and the Democrats didn't.
we know. you've made that clear. you're on team blue. you bought into the theater.
im not denying that there's genuine good guys on the blue team, i'm just saying that there's also going to be a significant number on team blue who are super fucking relieved that republicans shut it down. that's pretty dangerous, dont ya think?
being aware of when we're being pitted against one another is NEVER a fruitless endeavor. you may not like that we're not playing the red vs blue game and that's fine. but you're going to keep getting screwed if you only get mad at half of congress for failing to protect its people.
I agree. Right now I am mad at the people who voted to block the list. I just don't understand why people are saying the Democrats did that. I am trying to understand, especially if that guy thinks they are working together on this. It would make the president look better if the Republicans didn't vote to block this, but the Republicans did that. It is a weird and divisive thing to say otherwise, right?
Good for you I guess?
You said they were working together, but the Republicans voted to block it. Why didn't they make the Democrats vote to block it, it would make them look better?
Your line of questioning doesn’t really make any sense. If you don’t understand what I’m saying just let it go, enjoy your black and white world.
You said they worked together, but did they work together to make themselves look bad? Why not 50-50 it? Or make everyone vote against it? Idk, maybe I'm a better political strategist than you and them?
