    Everyone expects the scorpion to stab the frog, it’s in its nature.

    Everyone expects Republicans to be totally corrupt monsters.

    The people we are supposed to depend on to fight monsters keep helping them pass bills when they could be blocking them.

    This means they are complicit. There’s always enough traitors to make the bad things pass, never enough cooperation to make the good things pass when they have a majority.

    The Democrats have been playing this game for too long and it’s saf you haven’t started to notice too.

        Except that’s not what’s happening. The Republicans voted like you’d expect them to vote, hence not news. The so-called Democrats betrayed what their voters expected of them.

        Same reason it’s new when a small number of Republicans voted against the rest of the party and Trump.

        It’s my fucking party that I’m a fucking registered member of. Don’t tell me I can’t be madder at them for literally stabbing me in the back instead of fighting my opposition like they were supposed to do.

        It’s a perfectly justified reaction to be madder at betrayal. Don’t be a clueless moron.

                You mean like how you go around telling people they don’t blame Republicans if they point out something Democrats do?

                I’m not telling you who you are, you are telling me who you are. Tell me how my hypothetical is not appropriate?

                That’s not how debating works. You don’t take my analogy and say “that’s meritless.” You prove it to be meritless.

                See let me spell it out for you like it’s a standardized test.

                In my analogy:

                Burglar :: Republican

                Cops :: Democrats

                Dog :: My trust

                Shooting :: voting against my interest

                Is that clearer for you?

                    Reasoning was provided, you seem to be incapable of processing analogies and reasoning. You just did the same thing again. Why is it meritless? Because it’s meritless. You have none of the requirements necessary to even hold a discussion. All you do is circular nonsense.

                    Here, let me ask you a very simple question and go from there.

                    What is the job of a congressmen? In the simplest terms you can think of.

            So someone can’t write an article about the four of them? Are there no other articles just reporting the decision? Should we not know?

            So many posts on here just blaming the right. Should there be none on how some Dems are not voting for the people?
