Well, lots of folks seem shocked I’m not a Republican, so there you go. 
Some Democrats voted for Bush. I know there are a handful of Democrats that tend to usually vote for Republicans. Those aren’t really Democrats in any functional sense.
But you realize there are more than a handful (maybe 5%, maybe 10%) of self identified Democrats that approve of Trump in the various polls…right? And that a lot of disaffected Dems in the last election tipped the scale for Trump…right?
Yeah, but the same (to some degree) can be said for virtually every president, if not all of them.
Can you list some of those progressive priorities that have been passed? I must have missed them.
Post #20 not enough detail?
Post #20 mentioned a lot of things the House has passed. But not Congress. Since, you know, Congress has two houses.
Yes, but that means that trump is attacking Democrats because they don’t control the Senate too.
I don’t care what the President does. I care about someone saying “The Democratic Congress has passed a relatively high number of progressive priorities since taking power earlier this year” when it doesn’t seem like Congress has passed anything.
I was only talking about the House (sometimes the House is called Congress). Sorry if that wasn’t clear.
The Republican Party has changed since George H.W. Bush was a pillar of it, 31 years ago.
I hope you and all the other Mountaineers/Greenies come back when Donald Trump wins re-election and tell us how at least YOU stood for principle.
Eric Levitz disagrees. I’m with Levitz on this.
As Levitz points out, winning the Presidency without winning the Senate (or winning the Senate but leaving the filibuster in place) could easily wind up with 2022 looking like 2010 and 1994. A Republican could win the Presidency in 2024, or maybe the Dem holds on in the White House, but still can’t get anything through Congress. Then it’s 2028, a Republican wins the Presidency, and the planet is screwed.
But in this scenario, we beat Trump, which was the most important thing, period.
This seems pretty weak, man. A better answer would be “Yeah, I meant just the House”
I think everyone knew he was talking about the House, including you.
Yes, that’s what I said. You put the same sentiment into different words. Not sure how that’s “weak”, but if you feel the need to pick a silly fight, go right ahead.
Not true. When I see someone say “Congress passed something” I think they mean “Congress passed something”
I’m weird like that.
No, you’re weird in an entirely different way.
Well, there may be many ways I’m weird in.
Holding someone accountable to the actual words they use may be the least weird way I’m in.
Ok, you win. You honestly didn’t understand that he meant House democrats. Congrats.
No, I didn’t. I honestly thought he meant Congress had passed things. I wanted to know what Congress had passed. But it turns out Congress didn’t pass anything. Not sure why congratulations are necessary.
