Learn how representative democracy works

Can you explain the “difference of opinion” now? You can’t explain “punish” so you switched to a new undefined term.

No not at all. Your opinion does not determine the motives of others

Expand on this “punish” nonsense. Make it make sense. Or don’t, because you don’t understand how representative democracy works.

Manchin and Sinema did exactly what the party leadership wanted done.

Lots of Start or Sit advice from the Yanks as we start Champions Cup Fantasy this week. There's a Prem Rugby flavor to Jarrod's Of the Week picks with Kalaveti Ravouvou from Bristol as his Start of the Week and Guy Pepper of Bath as his Sit of the Week. Ben has gone with a bigger variety with Gregory Aldritt as his Start of the Week from La Rochelle and Will Le Roux from Bulls as his Sit of the Week.

It's that time again fambam! It's time for some Free Bad Advice from #TFRY. It's the thoughts of @jarrodoftfry.bsky.social & @grumpyoldprop.bsky.social for Champions Cup #FantasyRugby on Superbru.

And they still haven’t figured out that that’s why they lose elections. Or maybe they don’t care, either way they get paid.

Oh they don’t have to be retired. It’s a lifelong mindset that is attracted to the engineering field.

But remember we can’t expand the court because that would make it political

The only person you correctly identified in your skeet is Halle Berry.

Shut up

Makes it a lot harder than Biden and Democrats adding billions to the funding of ICE and police while doing nothing to strengthen social services. Biden gave Trump all the tools he needed to do what he’s doing.

Destroy the tools of fascism and prosecute civil rights violations by those fascist institutions. Abolish ICE and DHS, remove qualified immunity and severely reduce funding for police while using that money to fund antifascism like social services and safety nets.

You should try listening to Democrats sometime.

I’m not sure the party that keeps losing easily winnable elections and has an approval rating worse than herpes has much of a leg to stand on when they refuse to govern responsibly in the name of “electability”

Democrats oppose all of those. You vote against all of that every time e you vote for Democrats who oppose all of that.

And now maybe you’ll understand why people vote third party or sit out elections entirely.

Way to miss the point

Obama won and then the Party decided they couldn’t let that happen again. That’s why we got Hillary and Joe, who everyone outside of hardcore Dem partisans doesn’t like.

That’s all great for you. You’re not going to be able to force people to vote against their own interests, though. You see it as withholding a vote, millions of others see our government as a representative democracy and they won’t vote for zero representation or for opposition to representation.

Trump is just an extension of Republicans since before Reagan. Stop pretending that he’s anything new or different.

Get on it then and stop complaining when you settle for less and less loses

No, it’s the failure of Dems that got Trump elected. Your problem is you want people to not pay attention to the reality around them and just be happy with whatever Dems do. That doesn’t work.

These same people whine about “everyone gets a trophy”

Look we all see what you’ve voted to do, either that’s what you wanted or you didn’t care about what you were voting to do.

Most of the people at No Kings aren’t opposed to fascism, they just want it to be a Clinton in charge.

You’ve got those Blue MAGA brain worms

Yeah it would be a shame if our leaders were morally deficient 🙄

Hey remember when Trump sent an angry armed mob to try to kill them and all Dems did was convene a bipartisan committee that did nothing?

Sometimes you need to balance being a game theory nerd with being an actual human being. Failure to do the latter is how we get douchebags and Nazis.
