    And 269 of those legislators are Republicans

    I 100% agree with you that they’re vermin. My point is that they nonetheless are members of the federal government which could otherwise ban this.

    Don’t removed about it. Vote.

    I’m quite content to do both actually, thank you very much.

    I wonder where I’ve heard that split before?

    Yes, and I’ve mentioned that split elsewhere in this thread; doesn’t mean that these traitorous fucks don’t have control over the entire US through essentially unchecked authority and that that is – say it with me – inherently the fault of the United States.

    Most of those states are red states.

    Nobody’s disputing that. See the first portion of this response.

    I think you think what I’m saying is some kind of weird both-sidesism (it’s not; the world would be a markedly better place if every Republican were replaced by a Democrat counterpart), but the fact is that a ban on capital punishment can’t happen because the US is backward enough to have too many of these Republicans representing it.
