Objectively true though. Manchin and Sinema tank all the Dems plans just for the lulz and no one in the DNC will even say anything bad about them, much less do anything other than shrug and say “oh well”. It’s honestly embarrassing.
It’s by design, if they had a 60 seat majority there would be 6 manchins
Should there be a lack of Manchins, we shall invent a Manchin
If you dump enough energy into the qauntum foam you can create a true vacuum that will expand until a Manchin pops out to fill it.
I saw a really funny exchange on this where some lib was like “ummm actually it’s the GOP that can’t govern and don’t pass anything” and someone was like “hey quick check, are abortions illegal in your area” and the liberal was like “oh ok the ONE social victory they’ve had in years…”
the dems should have the gop banners hanging too
and the gop should also have the dem banners
The GOP hate the dems. They literally despise them. The only reason that they work together is because of the dems coming across the isle. The GOP doesn’t really think of things like we do in this greater context. They don’t see the material reality we do. Their politicians have drunk the kool-aid almost as much as their constituents have.
I remember an episode of citations needed where they were talking about how the republicans view the democrats compromising even when they have all the power. The GOP view it as patronizing. Their whole ideology is strength. It’s why their first answer to every problem is drones or nukes, even if they don’t go through with it. They don’t have a sense of solidarity with the dems. Hillary clinton is satan to them. Obama is stalin, hitler, and mao to them.
Despite the material reality of two similarly capitalist parties who unite to squelch the working class. The Republicans take a capacity for excessive force as a given and anything less as a direct threat to the nation. So the Dems never get brownie points for using brown shirts. Because the republicans literally can’t imagine anything left of the dems besides revolutionary communists. And sometimes they view them as exactly that. They’re fucking dumb as hell.
When you repeat things because they are politically convenient, but you have no capacity for self reflection, eventually you start to believe it. Some of them understand some parts of reality but they all have major blind spots filled in with delusions of grandeur and sadism. The kissengers are in power no longer. Only the failsons.
^This is astrology for the people who enjoyed debate club in high school. This is your brain on liberalism.
I dont know how to respond to something this vague. But maybe thats the point?
I could explain the material conditions that lead to the phenomena im describing.
Also “everything is rooted in material conditions” doesnt mean that hyper-nationalist, capitalist, prosperity gospel believing people understand reality. They can be dumb and still win because everything is stacked in their favor.

The GOP knows how to wield power, unfortunately.
Well it kinda did aged bad, but it’s because both parties are more like this now.
Yeah the main disagreement is whether they support explicit fascism at home or abroad for now
Also whether to go to war with China or Russia first
Biden is dirty, he wants em both at the same time
