    infrastructure

    Every single Republican voted against build back better, and that’s how we ended up with the worst of two bills, which every single Republican voted against as well. Republicans don’t invest in infrastructure.

    energy independence

    Only one party is dumping money into renewable energy, electric vehicles, e-bikes, and better public transportation, and it sure as fuck ain’t republicans.

    College tuition

    Literally republicans are the reason college loans haven’t been forgiven. They threw a fucking fit covered in their own filth all the way to the supreme court, and wouldn’t you know, it was the conservative judges that voted against it. If you’re still making college loan payments, it’s republicans’ fault.

    NATO

    All the American men and women who won’t go off to die in Ukraine benefit from us not being involved in yet another endless war you stupid fuck. So does the entire world who now don’t have to deal with escalation between Russia and the USA.

    War on Drugs

    Yeah, that was a bit of a stretch. But only one US president has made any serious attempt to reschedule cannabis AND pardoned thousands of people who were convicted of drug charges.

    Landlord taking all my money

    But republicans are the party of the free market! If your landlord is taking all your money, that’s what the free market demands! The free market has spoken, and so shall it be! To do otherwise would require gasp federal regulations!

    So it’s no surprise that only one party has introduced a renters bill of rights. Hm, I wonder which party that is…

      Every single Republican

      Was in the minority. You can’t use them as an excuse for what the democrats did.

      Literally republicans

      Biden chose to take a route with the debt that invited a challenge. He didn’t want to discharge it. He’s the senator from MBNA. The sanctity of debt is one of his foundational beliefs.

      He is the president. The treasury works for him. He holds the debt. He can and didn’t simply write it off.

      the entire world who now don’t have to deal with escalation between Russia and the USA

      This is the sentence in which you called me a ‘fucking idiot’ and I have to say the idea that a proxy war doesn’t count as escalation is one of the smartest things I’ve heard from you.

      But republicans are the party of the free market!

      Democrats are the party of letting everyone lose their home and have them be bought up by banks, who were bailed out when prices were low, who are now charging me half my income in rent.
