I’m not sure if you’re phrasing this backwards deliberately. But Dems in the House passed the For the People Act while Dems in the Senate (Manchin, most particularly) killed it. A compromise bill was crafted (by Manchin!), but Manchin and Sinema refused to exempt it from the filibuster in a rules vote.

This was in 2021, of course. Dems had an even better opportunity in 2009, when they were sitting on bigger majorities. But, again, they dawdled and delayed and let guys like Lieberman play footsie with the opposition.

Efforts to fix the disparity in the Senate by granting DC Statehood (and effectively guaranteeing Dems gain two additional Democrat seats) have also stalled in Congress indefinitely, going all the way back to the 1990s.

In the meantime, Republicans turn the ratchet rightward by further gerrymandering districts, stacking courts, and expanding the pool of ineligible voters through caging/voter registration purges/etc. They’ve been at this since the early 2000s, and every cycle gives us more lopsided state legislatures. Wisconsin’s GOP can hold a supermajority with as little as 40% of the popular vote, for instance.

everything evil republicans do is actually democrats fault

No one party can do it alone

It’s a team effort

The DOJ nomination was there to distract us

I don’t think anyone in DC gives a shit about what we think

I don’t think that going to a dermatologist causes significant hormonal changes

I don’t think you’ve ever been to a dermatologist

He quit to end the Congressional investigation. Was on his way out one way or another. This was just his attempt to fall upwards.

Maybe they’ll add him to the DOGE roster after this. You can fuck all the teenagers you want over there and nobody will complain

Trump should have picked a Senator if he wanted to put a Pedo at AG. Nobody would be investigating a Josh Hawley or Ted Cruz nom.

the Democratic party at fault that the Republican party while they still had a veto proof majority

Dems rolled over to gerrymandering decades ago. The reason NC has a statewide Dem in office and a supermajority GOP legislature stems from the Bush Era redistricting that stacked the state legislature in the GOP’s favor.

Dems had multiple opportunities to fix gerrymandering at the federal level and flubbed it every time.

Almost like they don’t really want to win at all. They just want you to donate

No. They’ve got the cops on their side, while liberals are too busy screaming at Trans people for costing them the election

I can very easily see it as a staging ground for more back door fundraising/corruption, a lauch pad for future Congressmen/Governors/etc, and a way of trial ballooning propaganda before bringing it live

Babies get adopted quickly.

Healthy, white babies do. It’s a lot harder for minority kids, preemies, and anyone with congenital health issues (even relatively minor ones)

???

You don’t think acne is biochemical or hormonal?

the UK has 2 out of 3 of those

Change “shooting” to “knifing” and its 3 for 3. The UK has a huge hooliganism problem. The country is rife with domestic violence. But no (non-police) guns!

I was going to say… I don’t see the UK anywhere on this map

Republicans saying they hate Communism, then doing a Nicolae Ceaușescu speed run.

Given the glut of unwanted children from our abortion prohibition, we’ll be needing a lot of new adoptive parents in the near future.

It increases self-confidence, helps to improve self-image, etc

I could say exactly the same of the dermatologist.

You’ll have significantly less luck delivering pizza, sadly.

anyone who thinks the answer isn’t “hit the gym” is coping.

I’d put “hit the dermatologist” above it. Plenty of girls go for the skinny or husky builds. But blemishes are a universal turn off

Unironically, women are hot for the handyman. Fixing a friend’s sink has gotten me laid more than once.

The difference between a 20 year old and a 30 year old is whether you prioritize a chiseled jaw and tight abs over the ability to have an engaging conversation, cook a good meal, and massage feet.
