Solnit: "It's...routine to blame the Democratic Party for what the Republican Party does. The two parties are unconsciously regarded as akin to a husband and wife in a traditional marriage in which it's the job of the wife to placate and soothe the husband and help him realize his goals or be held responsible for his outbursts and outrages."
Do you think Democratic Party politicians are the same as Republican politicians?
For the budget reconciliation bill, all 45 Dem Senators ( independents King & Sanders) voted against it.
Vote was split 50/50, requiring VP Vance to break the tie.
If just one of the 50 Rs that voted for it had been replaced in the last election with a D, it's clear the bill in its current form would not have passed.
The irony is if the Twitter Nazi splits the Republican Party in two to make a National Republican Party to counter #TheAmericanFascist Republicans “Big Beautiful Bill” then that could open up more room for the Democratic Socialists to make their own party split from the Democrats and all of a sudden the USA could have 4 viable parties. Imagine that. A multiparty system! The most democratic shift in the US Congress since 1776?! Initiated by a 21st Century Fascist.
But of course… that’s way too optimistic…
