it's the difference between "being a republican" and "hugging and kissing republicans pols all the time no matter what"

generally speaking you're going to have an easier time getting the typical republican voter to go along with the idea of murdering everyone in DC even if it means same of their faves catch a bullet, compared to democratic voters who basically worship all the centrist shitheel democratic pols and basically only take issue with the "far left" of the party and then like maybe a handful of "bad" republicans who haven't come to their senses yet or whatever. so basically democratic voters, at best, want to put the squad in guantanamo and then humiliate mcconnell and lindsey graham with a still-a-blowout-but-narrower-then-expected-blowout-after-spending-50-million-dollars-on-a-troop-democrat in their next election to the senate

but you're right I haven't spent a lot of time in the south maybe they hug and kiss all republicans without reservation there

yeah sure that's true

As someone who's spending all of my time in the south let me assure you you're 100% right. Republicans here literally get together to plan how to oust Republicans who aren't Republican enough. You are correct that if you proposed just nuking the seats of government and starting over that they would have no problem with the plan. There are a few they like, but they're easily replaced and worth the loss to be rid of the rest.

quote:

The Jan. 6 Committee Has Already Blown It

What is the Jan. 6 committee for? Committee members and Democratic operatives have been telling reporters what they hope to achieve with the hearings that begin Thursday evening. My Times colleagues Annie Karni and Luke Broadwater wrote an article with the headline, “Jan. 6 Hearings Give Democrats a Chance to Recast Midterm Message.” Democrats, they reported, are hoping to use the hearings to show midterm voters how thoroughly Republicans are to blame for what happened that day.

Other reports have suggested other goals. The committee members are trying to show how much Donald Trump was involved with efforts to overturn the election, so he is forever discredited. They are expected to use witnesses like the former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson to show exactly what went on inside the administration that day and in the lead-up to it. One lawmaker told The Washington Post that voters have shifted their attention to issues like inflation and the pandemic, so it is key to tell a gripping story that “actually breaks through.”

No offense, but these goals are pathetic.

Using the events of Jan. 6 as campaign fodder is small-minded and likely to be ineffective. If you think you can find the magic moment that will finally discredit Donald Trump in the eyes of the electorate, you haven’t been paying attention over the last six years. Sorry, boomers, but this is not the Watergate scandal in which we need an investigation to find out who said what to whom in the Oval Office. The horrors of Jan. 6 were out in public. The shocking truth of it was what we all saw that day and what we’ve learned about the raw violence since.

We don’t need a committee to simply regurgitate what happened on Jan. 6, 2021. We need a committee that will preserve democracy on Jan. 6, 2025, and Jan. 6, 2029. We need a committee to locate the weaknesses in our democratic system and society and find ways to address them.

Hmm bracing and salient points David Brooks

If they did just the weed thing or just the student debt thing it'd be hard to imagine an election year where they lost the youth vote, but the only thing unlikelier at this point is them ever not giving Israel beaucoup bucks to genocide Palestine

Yeah it would drive huge turnout but there is no way it's going to happen because Biden is an 80s drug warrior to his core. As a result, the democrats are going to get destroyed in 2022.

the democrats are 100% against legalizing weed because the prison industrial complex is an important donor for them

the loan industry is another important donor

sorry, but they have to think about more strategic things than your pet policies and you have to understand that without donor money they can't afford this season's yachts and showing up in the tropics with an out of season yacht will get them snickered at by the yachterati which is a fate clearly worse than death

Even if it didn't actually help them win the election (because with the economy so hosed up its likely they're gonna get shitstomped for anything short of full repudiation of loans AND sending out more checks) its the correct thing to do, but they won't, because the fact that it might not win them the election is enough for them to hang on to it and fool dipshit morons in the election after that by dangling it.

God forbid if they did it and still lost, why, they'd have to come up with whole new things they were totally gonna fix next time swearsies!

You know I have to say a lot of people have been telling me that all men are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Sleepy Joe and you can see that statement is fake news. See, normally if you go one on one with another politician, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But a lot of people come up to me and say I'm a genetic freak. They say, 'Sir! You're not normal!", and I'm hearing it more and more. So you got a 25%, AT BEST, at beat me. Then you add Kamala Harris to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down.
