Good. The old GOP was fucking terrible.
The last time there was three major parties, it ended with a Civil War: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1860_United_States_presidential_election
At this moment, neither party has a majority in the Senate because at least two Democratic Senators are a much better fit with the GOP. That essentially leaves the Senate with no direction, no goal, no nothing, if Kyrsten Sinema from Arizona or Joe Manchin from West Virginia or Bernie from Vermont decide to be obstructive not-quite-Democrats-but-also-not-quite-Republicans.

What world are you living in dude?
Are you really going to pretend that the Democratic Party is united still?
That only worked when Orange Man Bad.
You're already seeing the cracks. I predicted that a long time ago.

Hell... I'll be a real nice guy and even let you know how to change it. Won't matter much though since I'd still have the dates and times that you had the old one you posted all the naughty stuff with.

Quote:The crack in the Democratic party is fortunate for Trumptards. On one side are a majority of Democrats who think Trumptards are worth something. On the other side are much cooler headed and more cynical Democrats who have decades of experience and know Trumptards aren't worth a goddamn, either as individuals or as a mob. 6ix, you better hope the whole Democratic party doesn't figures you out because then you and your kind are dead meat. I will give you an example: The Civil War started along the same lines -- most Northern Generals believed in their hearts that the Confederates could be reasoned with. But a very few Northerners were certain that the most reasonable thing to do was kill all the Confederates. Eventually, the kill-them-all Generals Grant and Sherman came into power and proceeded to kill-them-all with great success. Unfortunately, Lincoln wouldn't allow the justly deserved killing of the Confederate elite to continue all the way to completion and his successor, Andrew Johnson the last of the slave-owning Presidents, was even worse when he pardoned all Confederate politicians as revenge for being impeached.

Republican Roadblocks to COVID Relief
Shortly after 3 p.m. on Thursday, Vice President Kamala Harris cast a tie-breaking vote to kick off Senate debate on Democrats’ $1.9 trillion relief bill. After the clerk began to read the 628-page legislation, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer made a customary request to waive the reading of the bill. Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson rose to object. As I write this, the clerk is just getting started on reading aloud the table of contents of a piece of legislation. Republicans think the full recitation could chew up 10 hours. Senate clerks think they can do it in five.
The objection was the first salvo in a wave of dilatory stunts that Johnson and his Republicans have planned over the next few days as they try to do something they’ve been wholly unsuccessful at so far: turning public opinion against Democrats’ popular legislation, which Republicans wish to frame as less a COVID relief bill than a raid on the Treasury for unrelated Democratic priorities.
Johnson says that he’s submitting the Senate clerks to this trial of vocal-cord durability not to be a jerk, but because the “American people deserve to know what’s in it.” It’s hard to think of a less effective way to inform the American people about what’s in a bill than by forcing an hourslong recitation of incomprehensible legislative language on the Senate floor, but that’s the message.
And when that’s done, Johnson and other Republicans have more plans for dragging out the process. After the bill text has been read aloud—and Middle America is out with pitchforks, infuriated by learning through C-SPAN that the legislation would strike the semicolon in subparagraph 4(b) from Section 2104 of the Semiconductor Transparency Act of 1986—there’s a period of up to 20 hours of debate, followed by the rapid-succession, open-amendment process known as a “vote-a-rama.” In a typical vote-a-rama, hundreds of amendments get submitted, but only a small portion get a vote as the physical necessity of sleeping asserts its primacy. There were 889 amendments submitted during the last all-nighter in February, for example, and the chamber only voted on around 40 of them—which was still more than usual.
This time, however, Republicans are talking tough about a far more grueling process. Asked how many amendment votes he’d like to see, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul said, “I’m hoping for infinity.” Indiana Sen. Mike Braun wouldn’t quite go all the way to infinity, but he said there would be many more votes than there were in the “warm-up session” last month.
There’s a perverse logic to the otherwise pointless behavior. When the minority can’t change the outcome, all they can do is throw up arbitrary delays, in the hope it arouses controversial atmospherics. Since the relief bill is unusually popular, with Republican base energy far more devoted to the gender politics of Mr. Potato Head, they’ll feel pressured to elevate their endgame to a new level of performed horror.

Biden's Covid stimulus bill isn't nearly enough to save Democrats
The Democratic Party controls Washington. It’s time to act like it.
The stark reality is that the president's party traditionally loses seats in Congress in the midterm election. This should scare the crap out of Democrats given their slim margins of majority: 10 seats in the House; one in the Senate. Democrats lost 63 House seats and six in the Senate under Barack Obama in 2010. In 2018, the GOP lost 41 House seats under Donald Trump.
If there was ever a time for Democrats to go big, it’s now. It’s the only way not to lose badly come 2022. Period. And the GOP knows this, which is why on Saturday every single House Republican voted against Biden’s $1.9 trillion Covid-19 relief plan. The GOP knows that every day they can prevent Democrats from delivering on helping Americans, it’s a good day for their 2022 electoral prospects.
Does any Democrat believe blaming the Senate’s woefully out-of-date filibuster rule as the reason for not enacting programs will inspire voters to come out and vote for Democrats in 2022? The filibuster has been called a lot of choice words lately, but one thing it is for sure is a way to depress Democratic voter turnout in 2022 — and the Senate GOP knows it.
Standing in the way of ending the filibuster are Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona. Their opposition to ending this “Jim Crow relic,” as Obama called it, will not just deprive millions of Americans of a livable minimum wage and guaranteed access to the polls, but it will also almost definitely result in Democrats losing control of the House and the Senate in 2022.
Ending the filibuster is the only way Democrats can deliver. Because there’s simply no way 10 Republican senators will join with Democrats to support these sweeping programs, no matter how necessary or how much they’d also help their red state constituents. The Democratic Party controls Washington and it’s time to act like it. If not, by 2023 we will yet again be discussing how much of a bummer it is that the GOP controls Congress.

If I were an independent or Dem weazel Senator in a red district, thered be a point wen my frustration woud overcome my instinct to get re-elected.
Therez a limit to how many owrz a human can take lissening to Opie (Rand Paul) blather out BS.
Even wen he'z not blathering, i'd be involuntarily obsessed with hiz stoopid haircut bobbling along to the beat uv wutever nursery ryme wite gi rap he lissinz to on hiz ear budz.
I woud rezine myself to the sertainty uv getting voted out in 22 by a landslide. By the time the vote came up I'd be daydreaming uv my future az a lobbyist for my state's biggest health care conglomerate or insurans company, quietly chanting 'yea' with tearz in my eyez.
