They’ve had complete control of the government multiple times in the last decade or so, and they failed to do anything with it. Democrats only talk about reform when they aren’t in power. When they’re wearing the boot, they’re fine with stepping on people and demanding they lick it.
They haven't had 60 senators since 1979.
That wasn’t my argument, but nice job avoiding it.
Oh yeah they haven't had control but they had total control right? Thats your argument? About what I expect from you murder cultists.
Yes, when you have the majority in both houses and hold the presidency, that’s control, you absolute buffoon. Now do you want to open your mouth again, or do you figure you’ve embarrassed yourself enough for one thread? Honestly, how you even manage to tie your damn shoes is beyond me, because it’s obvious from your barely put together sentences that you have the intellectual capacity of a rather large moss-covered rock.
Wow. I started to wonder what it's like in your head but decided that might be hell for me. Democrats won't step on others to make changes.
Remind me again, what did Biden and Harris do to students who were peacefully protesting against genocide last year?
Remind ME again what Drumpf does this year https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/11/us/mahmoud-khalil-columbia-ice-green-card-hnk/index.html
So lemme get this straight. Your argument is that democrats get a pass on the horrible shit they do when they’re in charge, because when they aren’t republicans also do horrible shit? That’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard this week. Did that argument work with your mother? How intellectually bankrupt do you have to be to think that was worth typing out? Now you’ve gone and made yourself look like a dumbass, and judging from the downvotes you’ve gotten, it seems everyone else agrees.
Is this one of these “both sides the same” fallacies?
I don’t recall the Biden administration directly intervening in the attack on protesters, but I did just read Trump doing much worse to violate the rights of protesters and free thought
Is this a Fallacy fallacy? Even if it was a “both sides” fallacy, being a fallacious argument wouldn’t make it a bad argument. For example, if you say Nazis shouldn’t be trusted because they’re evil, that’s technically an ad hominem.
Are you going to argue that we should start trusting Nazis?
It's not both sides of the same it's both sides are bad. Democrats aren't good just because the Republicans are worse. The Democratic party is part of the Nazi agenda and they make things worse albeit at a slower Pace but they normalize the last Republican Administration
