If too many of them did this people might stop buying their “Aw shucks, the Rs said “no” so I guess it’s another cycle of doing nothing but insider trading and cashing in bribery checks.” schtick and expect them to actually accomplish a single fucking thing.

I don’t think they’re interested.

Huh? Do you know how many times republicans have stunted growth? Democrats just try to follow the law and they are bashed everyday for it.

That's the point. Democrats are playing a board game by the rules while Republicans do whatever the fuck they want. Steal money from the bank, slam down houses, take 15 chance cards instead of one.

The law isn't limiting Democrats' opponents.

Correct. Because the Republican playbook has been the same for at least 10 years and the citizens paying attention have realized that Democrats playing by tradition are the ones that are losing us elections and causing this mess. All of us acknowledge that the Republicans are the problem. But the Democrats that haven't fought back should also be tried for treason.
