      Are you suggesting a GOP candidate would have done differently?

      So, one guy out of two hundred reps and you blame Democrats. But 200 hundred out of 200 hundred aren’t accountable whatsoever?

      Bad faith batman right here.

        “How dare you try to hold the democrats accountable for anything ever!”

        That’s how stupid you sounded just now.

          That’s not what grumps said. Hold the one guy who voted wrong accountable. Hell, hold them all accountable, but holding Dems accountable happens in the Primary, not in the General.

          Besides. You didn’t vote blue no matter who. Enough people stayed home, voted third party, or, heaven forbid, voted for the Shitgibbon, that we ended up with the Shitgibbon. Everything we warned you about has come to pass. Things your little faction claim to care about have been gutted. Hard-won progress over decades of effort all the way back to my hippy mom’s youth have been lost, and more and more are on the chopping block of the absolute shitheads you and yours got elected.

          Transgender people are being taken behind the woodshed. Gays are next. Other things we took for granted such as vaccinations, clean air, clean water, billionaires having to at least give lip service to not doing naked bribery and corruption, rule of law, stability in international interactions (trade war with fucking CANADA of all places?!), and such fundamental things like democracy and free speech are on the chopping block. And all you are here to do is punish Democrats. The Trumpster Fire thanks you for your contribution and rewards you with a tiny step back in the line. Don’t worry, though. You’ll be on the chopping block soon enough. The Insurrection Act is going to come for us all, thanks to the actual stupid idea you just pushed here.

          When you hold people accountable in the General instead of the Primary, you enable the Fascist takeover of the US. The only question at this point is whether this action was taken from stupidity or complicity.

            Liberals say the same shit in all the primaries. We try to primary these candidates out and you guys do the exact same shit man.

      Hey. We just gotta vote harder ok. It’s definitely not just a planned opposition party that will never let there be a majority of actual progressives in their party.

        Dems and their sycophants for the last 40+ years whenever the Left call for progress or at least active resistance against backsliding:
