Just virtue signaling as it will never pass 2/3 majority.
This thinking is why we keep losing. Make them defend her.
I'm pretty sure we keep losing because billionaires fund these assholes to keep doing what they are doing.
So they spin it how they can and then what? We lose.
I just block doomers.
Fuck outta my feed.
They do that anyways.
Your preacceptance is giving them permission. Stop it
There are so many things we can do with a simple majority, trying to attempt something that needs a supermajority just seems like it's siphoning off political activism from constructive things to red herrings. Performative at best, active sabotage of initiatives that can produce results at worst.
I'm not sure what you thought you were responding to.
However, the reason we're here is because Republicans spent the last several decades blocking anything that could have prevented this from happening, because almost anything of any substance requires a super majority. Because Congress is broken. This has ceded so much power to the executive and allowed extremists to take up a significant position in the legislature
Make them say the quiet parts out loud so they can be held accountable when the dust finally settles. Or just roll over and die if you think that day will never come, I guess?
Maybe not. Remember that Noem lacks a key leadership feature as far as MAGA is concerned: a penis. She might just be the sacrificial lamb that Republicans use to say "SeE? wErE lIsTeNiNg" and try to calm down the sheep ahead of midterms. Then tell her "Thanks for your service, but can you go into the kitchen and get me a beer, honeybuns?"
But then, we need to be concerned about who gets appointed in her place. I hear Dan Bongino is looking for a job....
