The Ideologically Pure Ruin US Politics

[Cosmocat]

42. Complete, total and unmitigated bullshit

There is no equivalency, none.

To whatever extent there are strident liberals in the House and Senate who won't vote for any of the endless stream of crazy ass shit the republicans put out is not in any proportion worse than at any time in our history.

Both parties, in whatever form they were, have always has wings that won't vote with the other side.

Meanwhile, the democratic party has PLENTY of finger to the wind vote to save their asses congressmen and senators who will vote R in a heartbeat if they gin up enough public heat - see the IWR, and other fiascos the republicans have driven us into over the last few decades.

That is not what is wrong - what is wrong is that we have one party that now votes in total unison.

We have never seen that, and at the same time perhaps the most radicalized party we have seen.

See, not a single R voting for a REPUBLICAN version of health care reform, and literally not voting for anything from this president during his term for the most part.
