    Democrats are not a monolith. They are a mix of progressives, liberals, and common sense conservatives.

      The party holds socialists as well, although you guys do treat us more as hostages sometimes, lol.

        I see socialists as a subset of progressives. And you’re not wrong. I wish the the two parties were progressives (including socialists) and liberals instead of normies and crazies.

      Their results indicate that they are sufficiently monolithic that my comment holds true.

        If it was a monolith, we’d have abortion rights federally and a livable minimum wage. Conservative Democrats have blocked a lot of that shit over the last 30 years. Not to mention that we’d have a much more progressive inflation reduction act. And do you not remember the whole Obama care fiasco?

        I’m sorry you don’t actually pay attention to politics. But maybe you should educate yourself instead of just getting angry at headlines.

          Democrats always find enough no votes.

          Conservative Democrats are the monolith.

            We might literally have no more conservative Democrats in the Senate for the first time maybe ever. But go on with your deep state conspiracy theories. I’m sure you’ll be happy when the Republicans win again.

              There are always just enough conservative Democrats. They are the party.

              This “everyone to my left is all the way to my right” shit is old. Do better.

                I didn’t say you were to the right. But you’re supporting them with your bullshit. Do better.

                  If Democrats ever stop finding the no votes to kill what they ran on but never had any intention of passing, I’ll stop pointing it out. Until then, they’re useless on purpose. It’s been going on too long.

                    And as long as people like you keep spouting conspiracies, and keep ignoring the progress that the Democratic Party has made in getting more progressive, I’m going to keep saying you’re only helping Republicans.
