The disgraceful Supreme Court justice should be held accountable for his actions but probably won’t.

    Centrist Democratic Politician: we want to exploit labor and centralize weath and power, but we want people to like us so we’ll do some incrementally good things things to keep folks satisfied

    Centrist Republican Politician: we want to exploit labor and centralize weath and power, and fuck you. If you don’t support us rapist minorities are going to rape you to death, or you might have to see people who aren’t like you in public.

      Then how come 100% of them voted against Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump and the GOP’s gigantic tax cuts for billionaires in 2017? Vague claims mean nothing. Only real things matter.

        So first let’s be clear. I’m not "both sides"ing. My point is clearly that the overton window for centrists is so far right, that the parties would essentially meet in the center if the republican party hadn’t fully embraced the culture war insanity.

        Voting against Trump (a member of the opposing party) is like, the least they could do. They should hardly get back pats for that.

        How about this for “real things”. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi opposes banning Congress members from owning individual stocks

        She later did an about face and said she would bring legislation to do that, and what do you know, two years later and still nothing.

          That’s why it is critical for Dems to have a big majority. That is the only thing that will move the overton window significantly to the left.
