Ah yes, it's not possible that Bernie "Trump was right on the Border" Sanders was simply unpopular with voters, no, it's clearly the Establishment's Fault for making him have shitty opinions.

Don’t harangue the 24 year old kid doing constituent services. It’s a thankless and tedious task ( which I have done).

The point was to avoid giving Republicans a 1 year CR.

They did that.

Unfortunately voters decided to give Republicans majorities in a system where the minority party has no power beyond that which the majority party gives them.

And even so, they managed to reduce this to a 2 month CR + SNAP.

Hasan Piker should livestream his negative opinions about the Chinese government while in China just like he does the American government while in America and compare the difference in state response.

You know, for science. Because he's such a Brave Truth Teller, after all, right?

"When Trump can be unhinged and take and take while facing no consequences"

Like not being voted out of office because people are more worried about sticking it to Democrats, for example? That kind of not facing any consequences?

Buck stops with voters, folks.

And no, patting people on the ass and going "It's OK sweetiekins, there's nothing wrong with being dumb and/or a bigot and it's totally A-OK your choice to be that way screwed over the entire country" is not how you successfully address that.

People who think they were justified/OK don't change.

2. People voted for Republicans because they're bigots who wanted to hurt minority groups and considered (or thought they did) hurting themselves to be an acceptable price for that.

So stop blaming Democrats for voters being dumb and/or bigots, and start addressing voters being dumb and/or bigots.

The hard empirical fact is people voted for Republicans for one of two reasons:

1. Because they're either dumb and refused to research facts of various topics, and/or they chose to reach intentionally bad conclusions from the facts, despite being educated and/or warned by Democrats over and over.

I live in a DC burb in MD, which truly i have dubbed, "parking lot designed living." Life here seems to have been constructed around parking. And every road is a 6-lane highway.

As my husband noted at the time, that is when he pivoted to the "ultramillionaires" being the problem.
