Lol I was wondering the same.

I'll post what I last posted there. Manchin would fuck it all up

https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/21/politics/joe-manchin-nominees-bipartisan-support/index.html

Sen. Joe Manchin, a critical swing vote in the closely divided Senate, said Wednesday that from now on, he will only vote to confirm nominees who have the support of at least one Republican senator.

Im going to be very honest with everybody, if my Democratic colleagues and friends cant get one Republican vote, dont count on me. You cant make it bipartisan, dont count on me, said the West Virginia Democrat who has announced his retirement that will begin in January 2025.

My guess is that if you post a poll over an issue which may have opposing opinions but ONLY give options that support your side, it is considered trolling. I guess?

The Dems wouldn't do anything - and if they did make some sort of attempt - then the Republicans would try to block / delay it, which the Dems then wouldn't do anything about, so it'd stall out. And then, they'd just blame it on the Republicans, which will satisfy their base. And the cycle goes on and on and on.

The Dems are completely useless, and I'm pretty sure that's by design.

Disagreeing with a lot of people is trolling now. And those same people can say anything to you and that is just fine. Just don't worry about. Talk about something else. Like foxgirls and wrestling

"Trolling" is the stupidest most unevenly enforced TOU violation there is. There is absolutely zero non-biased/logical rhyme or reason for stuff that gets a complete pass, stuff that gets hit w/ it and simply deleted, and stuff that not only is hit w/ it, but single-handedly earns you a 3 day vacation.

Case in point the recent Biden topic w/ the abortion ad and 'Buttery Males" shitting it up w/ dozens of "what about Israel?" trolling. NOTHING happened to him, and the only recourse was for people including the TC to block him cause clearly the mods don't fucking care.

Math is irrelevant to anything I said. Also, that exact scenario has played out dozens of times just that I've seen over the years lol.

Yeah, that's a bad call by the mod, imo. Seems like a filmsy thing to call trolling.

Math has everything to do with it as you need a certain number of people in the Senate and the House to pass anything.

Meaning, let's stick to the Senate alone for a second. If
48 Democrats support something
2 Democrats don't support something
50 Republicans don't support something

Then your argument that it's Democrats not supporting it, is mathematically incorrect. The numbers show its actually Republicans blocking it and only a grand total of 2 Democrats blocking it.

The people that don't understand this also tends to be the same bunch that goes around promoting people to stay home election. Then throws on a surprised Pikachu face why Democrats don't have the votes to get things done without any obstructionist. Also tends to message around that roundabout "both sides are the same" rhetoric. Not truly understanding how laws are passed.

Simply having a majority isn't enough to pass everything obstruction free.
