Help needed from Fellow DUers [View all]

I have been in a back and forth tweeting conversation with a MAGA guy for the past week or so. Pretty quickly, he started calling me "dumb dumb." I asked him why he was acting like he's 12. And then I said "I know why...because your role model, Trump, acts like a 12 year old when he calls people childish names." After that, he stopped calling me dumb dumb, so there's that!

Anyway, he's a typical Republican who likes to blame both sides when it's only Republicans that are guilty of something. So he was saying that we need to get dark money out of politics and said both parties are guilty of receiving this money. I said Dems are the only ones proposing a constitutional amendment to get rid of Citizens United. He said Dems had full control for 2 years...why didn't we do anything about CU?

So Fellow DUers, how do I answer that? Even though we had full control, we still had Manchin and Sinema. Plus, it requires more people to get this done than just the # of Dems we had wanting this to happen, right?

I was able to hold my own with him for a week but when it gets more into the weeds, that's when I need help. Please help me in my response to him

Thank you!
