117th United States Congress: #CancelGate

[Kaslo]

Voting should more take into account the ideas, revelant beliefs, and plans of an individual and not how well established in the political aristocracy they have become. Which is what I am equating experience to in this case. Experience is the ability to out maneuver others or cut rarer deals in politics. It matters, but it's not as important as it's made out to be.

Biden is no better a bipartisan statesman than the last dick he tried that same approach with, despite the massive experience.

Yeah that's a total misunderstanding of how governing works.

[archibaldcrane]

Is it? Since it breeds the shit we keep saying we don't want.

First time politicians underperform the fundamentals of a race on average. Politicking is a skill that improves with experience and people that don't have it often wash out. Ideally you'd like them to wash out before they are up for an important seat for your party.

But as a person who wants Republicans to lose I'm glad they are putting up these neophytes in 5 different Senate races.

If you haven't noticed. "This is how it works and how it is." Has not been my guiding star at all.

I'm not, that's how we got Trump in the first place. You should always want the better candidate to win, even in the opponent's primary.

[Milkster]

But in the Republican/GoP camp they're all racing to be the worst candidate possible though. Trumpism has destroyed them, it's either embrace Trumpism or go against it and get death threats/plans carried out against you.

Which is why you should be hoping the non-MAGAs win their primaries. The GOP won't stop fearing MAGA until MAGA starts losing primaries.

This would be correct if it weren't for the Democratic party as an entity purposely funding more Trumpesque candidates. So your reason will fall on their deaf ears.

I never said Democrats were smart.

I'd be dazzled if anyone here did. What it is though—what it should be called—is a malicious practice with no regard for the people.

There's only one person here that consistently does. You can summon him, like Warlocks do at a dungeon entrance, by mentioning HNMs or Abyssea. See, I just did.

Here, I'll help cast meteor. His views on socioeconomics are as valid a design choice and as worthwhile as HNMs were. Abyssea is to Final Fantasy XI as Democrats are to america.

[Gredival]

HNMs and the neoliberal establishment are the best things ever. Glad we finally agree.

The typical self-centered delusions you would expect from an HNM advocate.

538 now has Democrats as likely to hold the Senate as Republicans are to take the House, 71% each.

Gonna be fun when the Jan 6 committee is killed off without any consequences

[Tyche]

Jan 6 committee killed, hunter Biden laptop committee born.

[Spicyryan]

"But Spicy, you are too cynical and bias against the Dems! How dare you, this is the most productive Democratic Congress in decades!" Sure is! Lol

And it doesn't even include Pelosi!

wut?

"this is the most productive democratic congress"

"oh yeah? look at this one bad thing. Checkmate atheists."

The bar for productivity is so low that actually doing anything has brought us the propaganda of just how productive this White House's leadership has been.

Meanwhile the corruption in the house that shapes all this productive legislation is a nothingburger, and biting the hand that feeds.
