The Repubs are pulling this shit. Not the Dems.
I can think of two Dems that were doing such, b/c otherwise the Dems would have had the majority a couple years ago.
Well actually, no - you're still right - b/c it's different shit, not the same type of shit that Repubs are doing.
Ah yes. "Not the Dems". The "Not the Dems" who gave us Trump by insisting we had to accept Hillary. The "Not the Dems" who delivered us Kavanaugh because 'RBG was a GIRL-BOSS'! The "Not the Dems" who just risked passing the most draconian border policy of all time. The "Not the Dems" who refused any kind of real primary on Biden because 'solidarity', seemingly to the effect of ensuring Trump will win the election. The "Not the Dems" who have supported the genocide of the Palestinian people, only 'slightly' reacting to this after the entire country has been effectively reduced to gravel. Those "Not the Dems".
Oh shut the fuck up. If Dems weren’t being obstructed by the GOP, we wouldn’t have most of the issues we have. Why don’t we ensure the GOP stays down and then you can work on reforming the Democratic Party.
Fight me then. Republicans wouldn't have been able to make as much progress on their agenda as they have if not for the Democrats.
They refuse to fight. They contort their policies for the purposes of appeasement.
They are the fucking problem and your denial of that is an even larger problem.
Republicans do shitty things
"How could the Democrats do this?"
Here lemmy fix that for ya'.
You’re so wrong it’s hilarious. Fuckin idiot, my guy
You should tune into this, like, right now:

Look, we probably agree on a ton of things but I’m not a Marxist or socialist and I’m familiar with the outlet. Liberalism is perfectly fine in my book, but even that’s too extreme for most conservatives. So it’s a little frustrating that liberalism can barely get off the ground in America because of a constant barrage by rightwing radicals, and then it’s getting tugged down on the other end by marxists. The last President with a budget surplus was Clinton. Budget surpluses are the first step towards paying for more social programs that we both champion. But that won’t happen as long as Republicans have control because they will always stand for large tax cuts and bending over backwards for corporations
He doesn't want a solution, he just wants to ~~be mad~~ feel smugly superior.
Can you provide an example?
Literally the content of the meme. The Democrats supporting an utterly draconian border bill and taking three big steps to the right on border policy, basically saying "The Republicans are right about there being a crisis at the border, and they are right about how to fix it, so we're going to support their policy".
Pelosi defends Democratic efforts to boost far-right candidates in GOP primaries
“It’s your fault your house burned down, because you didn’t stop me from burning it down”
