    bro you don’t have to have a conspiracy when your interests converge. where is this majority that’s pushing for actual change and not just talking about it for campaign purposes?

        every time a bill’s come up?

        You say that as if a substantial portion of the fuckery (in general – not about the Democrats or this issue specifically) isn’t in the form of procedural machinations to stop things from coming up for a vote in the first place.

          You say that as if it’s not exactly what’s kept happening. None of what’s happening is new, just how often it keeps happening because Republicans have been taken over by the obstruction caucus completely.

          Why are you so insistent on blaming the democrats for what the Republicans (and leftover Liebercrats) are doing to stop them from achieving anything?

            What do you mean, “so insistent?” Check the username; that was my first reply to you in this thread.

            Also, I said…

            (in general – not about the Democrats or this issue specifically)

            …and I meant it. I really am just pointing out the flaw in the “check the vote rolls” argument, not blaming Democrats!

          I’m not the one alleging a mass conspiracy to secretly hold back platformed legislation while appearing to support it.

            bro you’re replying to my comment that says there isn’t a conspiracy. you can just say “I don’t feel like providing sources for my claims” you don’t have to try to act like you’ve got some moral high ground
