Funny how the Republicans always manage to stall everything when the Democrats are in power

[-] Mniot@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

When Democrats are in power, the Republicans can stall things because they only have a slim majority and the extreme measures that they'd need to take are unpalatable to 5-30 of the most regressive Democrats. So their majority doesn't count for a lot.

Overall, I think this is partially just that Americans are pretty regressive (possibly because of all the propaganda, possibly because of our poor education). And partially the successful efforts by Republicans to control local government, which allows them to do things like gerrymander federal districts.

That's the problem with playing fair. Republicans don't, and Democrats have tried to.

That seems to be over, and everyone has to play dirty these days.

A terrible way of representing the people, but whatever it takes to stop Nazis, I guess.
