    You seem real mad that people are able to govern themselves.

    I’m real mad that the only time Democrats show an interest in my state, it’s because a progressive is running against a centrist and they want to make sure the centrist wins.

    I get that you want Democrats to save you from your local Republicans, but that isn’t really how the country (or the world) works.

    Cool. When Democrats have fled the red states and can no longer get a majority in the Senate, the same problems you’re happy to ignore because they’re limited to the borders of my state and those like it? Those will be implemented nationwide. It’ll be too late for all of us then.

    Enjoy watching the suffering of poor people in flyover country until then.

      No matter how much you hate Democrats, no one outside of trumpets will be able to take you seriously until you recognize how the American government is fundamentally structured… in a way where Republicans are free to obstruct everything ever. You and I both know that is what happens currently

        Enjoy watching flyover people suffer. I’m sure it nourishes you.

            Slinging abuse isn’t changing the situation I described.

            Democrats are leaving red states. This will make it more difficult for Democrats to sustain majorities in the House and Senate. Democrats may be deliberately useless at enacting nationwide legislation (trying to coast on ACA 15 years later is pathetic), but Republicans are eager to impose their will nationwide.

            Democrats can treat this as the threat it is or not. Given their history, I’m guessing not. Becoming abusive and following me into other threads because my predictions hurt your feelings hasn’t changed anything I described. Time is running out whether you admit it or not. Now hurl more insults.

                So you have yet to address what I’ve said. You’re not here to participate in discussion. You’re just here to lob insults and abuse.

                I’m no longer going to participate in this discussion, since you can’t approach anyone to your left with anything other than self-righteous hostility.
