    Forgot to put the portion where Reps try and block every single fucking thing that Dems try to accomplish.

    Wanna know why abortion wasn’t enshrined into law when the Dems had the majority? Because they didn’t have a filibuster proof super majority for the handful of weeks they had all the power.

    We got the ACA instead.

      I’m not buying this anymore. Dems could do the same if they had balls. Enough of this when they go low we go high bs.

    Now make one with an elephant in the middle to put next to this one. It will be equally trite.

      GOP gives their base red meat. This is because it is compatible with their donors’ interests. This contrasts to Dems, for whom delivering for their base runs counter to their donors’ interests.

      What is deliverrd by the GOP is marginalization, of course, but this is still a more direct and materiap response than what the Dems do, which is just PR.
