Why does it appear like every political rule favors Republicans?

Can you handle this video?

This is another thing...the democrats have to move center - even though Biden is and Kamala would have governed as a moderate - in order to have a chance, according to right of center people, to win elections, while the right wing can move further and further to the radical religious right and still win. The democrats other than about 4-5 are so much closer to the Republicans of the 1980s than what is happening in the Republican party under this ridiculous regime. Reagan has to be spinning in his grave watching the Republican POTUS cow tow to Putin.
It's known as the ratchet effect

No, I meant what I typed. He exaggerates and boasts like you would expect from a sleazy used car salesperson. Everything he thinks is good is the biggest and best ever, and anything he thinks is bad is the worst stuff ever.

If you guys held Biden to the same standards you do Trump I’d agree more closely, but you guys let him destroy the constitution, lie as often as he spoke with impunity. Now you guys want to pick apart every syllable Trump spews.
The man lied about losing the 2020 election and it led to the United States Capital being stormed by protestors. Without that lie it doesn’t happen. That’s not a used car salesman. That a lying POS that has no business being in the White House. If that lie doesn’t disqualify a person from being elected in you mind, what lie would?

I agree with her on very little, and I think she's a great figurehead for Republicans to use on Democrats, given her far left positioning.

However, I think its absurd that anyone would still question her talent. She's not perfect, she makes mistakes, but Republicans pretending she is dumber than she really is, or that she's not really good at her shtick, is just silly.

Her communication ability and charisma is so far ahead of the squad...I have a prediction. I think at some point she breaks to the center. It might not be all at once, it might be gradual. But at some point she will pivot closer to the mainstream and sell out the rest of the squad. I don't think she would be wrong to think she should have national ambitions, and that won't work from where she stands right now.
An interesting, well thought out opinion. We’ll see if it comes to fruition. She is probably “less batty” than other squad members. 😉

Obama wanted a government option for healthcare. He gave that up from Republican option. He bent over backwards in an attempt to make it bipartisan. Republicans said no. Democrats moved halfway on the border bill. Trump blew it up.
lol…that border bill was a joke…it still would have allowed way too many illegal immigrants into the U.S.

I was replying to the post that stated Democrats do not compromise. That border bill was a direct example of a Republican sabotaging a bipartisan compromise.

your post states that it wouldn’t have done anything. So there would be no harm in allowing it to pass? Many of the provisions are being pushed for now. Like increased funding. It’s almost like POS Trump was only concerned about a political opportunity and didn’t care about the issue at all.

Lying can’t be the standard, unfortunately. All of them lie.
 
So bring another option to the table. Face it, the GOP never wanted to fix it. They wanted it to fail so they could blame it on the Dems. That's their only play when they aren't in power.
Biden gave him the issue to run on. Assuming the facts and figures are true on border crossings the fact is this could have happened anytime he wanted it to.

It became an issue he couldn’t fix because doing so meant he had to admit there was a problem, and fixing the problem would mean his policies triggered the explosion in crossings, crime, deaths, infectious diseases we had all but eradicated from modern society. His only play was a terrible border deal he knew republicans would walk from so he could blame Trump. This route screwed Kamala but saved Joe’s legacy. Harris had to tip toe through the rain drops between I can fix the border and Joe (and I) did a great job on the border.

There was really no need ro bring another “option” to the table as Trump’s (now implemented) executive orders are going a long way towards fixing the issue. Such as, reimplementing “Remain in Mexico” policy, only accepting legitimate asylum claims, and letting border patrol agents do their jobs.

I’m not going to convince you but there’s a difference between saying, “I’m going to create high paying jobs” and saying “I was robbed of the election” and “stop the steal” to a very high strung protest crowd. The last example led to a protest in which people were killed.
 
I may not have phrased that perfectly but it always seems like Democrats are easy to block when trying to do things - even Tuberville was able to simply block military appointees by himself. Then when Republicans are jamming things through, or Trump can just fire judges or anyone he wants, the democrats just cry about it and use words to fight but accomplish next to nothing to slow things down.

Democratic leaders are really good at “hope” though. Republicans are far better at political rules and games than the Democrats are, imho.
Take the Tuberville fiasco, the Dems could do an action like this, any senator can block, but the Dems want the govt to work, they dont want to be petty like Tommy boy who has to be the most dumb as a brick senator I have ever heard talk. He would be the #2 dumbest if Hershal Walker had have been elected.

Remember when you were like 10 years old and you thougth the Prez, Senators Reps must be so smart? Wrong

Just another wrong talking point you guys say over and over. Another losing argument.
 
You just now figuring out Democrats are worthless?
Unfortunately Dems play by the rules, most act too nice, etc. I would rather politics be played out that way. But the old days of Tip O'neill and Repubs disagreeing but getting along enough to get work done is long gone. The REpubs lie and dont keep their promises etc. In Trumps first term you could see the honorable and decent REpubs in Congress just retire rather than be apart of his bullshit

And Trump has taken it to the level where he just hates anything NGFT which means Not Good For Trump

You think that’s believable after Biden opened the boarder. They wanted as many illegals as they could get and when the pressure was on they supported a bill that would still let in thousands a month.🥸🥸

I think Biden handled it horribly. But I believe his biggest fault was being out of touch due to his mental incapacities and believing Congress would do their jobs and come to the table as adults. I also believe Biden's handlers should have done a better job of describing to him what a problem the American people thought immigration was. I do believe that he should have done more to fix the problem, but at the end of the day, it was in the GOP's best interests for immigration to become a crisis so they could get elected, and it worked. Immigration has been used as a political ploy by both sides, but the GOP has used it in a much more divisive and destructive way, in my opinion.
