    I’ve been calling out this propaganda since 2016. Dividing the left is an extremely successful tactic.

      Calling people who voted to disenfranchise millions the 'left" is an insult.

      Havent you heard the term “It goes without saying”? I just don’t need to tell you that the sun rises in the east, 2+2=4, or Republicans are evil. But apparently, some of you insist on giving a pass to Democrats, who act like they’re on our side, but continually help make things worse.

      The point is that it’s all kayfabe and just enough Democrats will vote to make things worse or prevent something from getting better. If you only blame Republicans, you’re not paying attention.

        Funny how you people always conflate “not having the numbers to effectively stop Republicans” with “actively helping Republicans”. Every single time I drill down to ask what specifically the Dems did to make things worse, it’s always “they failed to stop the Republicans”.

          I guess you’re confused because you aren’t listening.

          THEY VOTED FOR THE BILL.

          Voting for a bill is actively helping Republicans. Do you need to watch Schoolhouse Rock again?

          what specifically the Dems did to make things worse

          THEY VOTED FOR THE BILL.

          Absolutely nobody here is mad that Democrats “failed to stop Republicans”. You need to stop being disingenuous. We’re mad because THEY VOTED FOR THE BILL.

            And we circle back around to “Democrats did a bad thing” instead of “a tiny number of Democrats went against the wishes of the party and joined all of the Republicans to do a bad thing”

            Propaganda.

            “The Democrats” did not vote for this bill and implying so is fucking. Propaganda.

              So, what is the party going to do about it? If the answer is nothing, then the party itself shares the blame. Republicans enforce party discipline while Democrats use a lack of party discipline as an excuse.

                Because the Republicans are fucking fascists and we are not. It’s more difficult to enforce discipline when your party is ANTI authoritarian.
