We’ve been trying to get America to like blacks, browns, gays, et al for 60 years now, but it is an uphill battle. About 50% is all so far. I thought we’d have had more success by now.
I’d rather see “no organized party” than GOP cadres. Even so, polling seems to show that there are more sensible people around. It’s time we got together ad hoc.
Folks, for anyone who thinks Sheneman is a Republican, please just click left a couple of time to take an average.
IMO his criticism is quite valid. The Democrats are making a mess of this, as we saw in the recent Senate vote. They had a perfect chance to get some real progress through the Murkowski/Collins bill which would have gotten at least 2 R votes, and heaven forbid they could have forced some debate over some of the issues where they differ. Instead they look like hacks more interested in posturing than fixing this.
It’s an expression of frustration. Republicans have dedicated themselves single-mindedly and furiously to dragging our society into the past. We need warriors.
Democrats have always had the tendency to be “pollyannish”. We simply can’t believe that – once a person has given their solemn word on something, say “Roe vs. Wade”, that they will not keep it.
Of course, as a former republican, I KNOW just how duplicitous republicans and their appointed judges can be. The average democrat STILL believes that once a promise has been made, it will be kept, and they simply are not equipped to deal with the constant lying coming from the other side.
It’s rather like climbing into an old-fashioned boxing ring, expecting “Marquess of Queensberry” rules to be followed – even after your opponent has entered with various knives and a set of brass knuckles on his person.
Current “republicans” have no honor nor integrity – their entire (and only) goal is to win at any cost, and they, being comprised mainly of bigots and racists, realize that, to “win”, they must cheat, and so they do, repeatedly and brazenly.
Their new leader embodies every disgusting characteristic of a bully and ruffian and so serves as a “shining example” of what a man who lacks integrity stands for – which is NOTHING.

Another Republican view. How lame and dumb of you. Even If it is supposed to be satire, wow.

Not one single Republican voted yes. Somehow this is the fault of Democrats? I don’t think so. Your cartoon is not clever, it’s silly.

Republicans raise money by defrauding their base.
