Difference between Republican and Democratic law making

Really, the Republicans, who want to turn the clock back on gay rights, women rights, minority rights, children rights...they are the ones that are going to "keep the human race gaining on it's challenges"?

 

Ask yourself which side is unwilling to compromise.

We had a compromise on abortion rights that had lasted for 50 years...but conservatives were not happy with that. They want a complete ban on the procedure, nation wide, no exceptions.
That is not compromise.

 

It has nothing to do with stupidity and everything to do with us wanting to protect the rights of ALL Americans...not just those in our own state.

 

So screw the other 35% of the population?

 

In a nutshell:

Dems make laws FOR people
Repubs make laws AGAINST people

 

That's hilarious.
Think how many laws they have passed restricting people's individual choices and making something else illegal.

But maybe you think restricting choice and making it illegal for people to do more things is making laws "for people", rather than "against" them?

Maybe it only seems that way to you because the certain things they are restricting happen to be the things you happen to care about? (as opposed to restricting other things you personally don't happen to care about)

 

Yes. Change comes with the growth of a people- but that has to be logical and beneficial change, not stupid short-sighted knee-jerk reactions.
Progress comes from careful consideration of the long-term results. Right now, we are replacing what works- with what sounds good. That style stems from immaturity; like your child telling you they hate you because you don't let them have their way..... and you caving in because you fear their hate. You damage them, damage you, and everything else in doing so. Obviously, too many parents over the last few generations abdicated their duty to raise their children to be adults- so today we have a lot of grown children, behaving like children. Still demanding to get their way with zero consideration of the future beyond the limits of their myopia. The republicans aren't right about everything; nobody ever is- but they are vastly more on track than the dems and the left, who are actually destroying the critical values that we owe to our children and the future.

Society's duty to itself is to embrace things that work, to block things that damage,so growing and improving can be a beneficial process rather than a train wreck. And the objective is that tomorrow should be better than today, and each year better than the one before. Your children be stronger and better than you, and their children better than them.

The current status? Looks like a train wreck to me; by far the most chaotic and irresponsible condition I've ever seen this country and it's people in- and the politicians in the current administration haven't got a clue. I remember Harry Truman, so that view goes back a ways. Nonsense is the snake-oil of the liberals and dems today. Ignorance, arrogance and a total lack of integrity and honor define them, and I wish I didn't have to say that- but when it's truth, you must be truthful. Harry Truman- would have fired every one of them if they had worked for him.

 

That IS the answer to your question.

 

You used more words than necessary to simply say, " I can't remember when's the last time Democrats tried to cooperate with Republicans, even though I'm blaming Republicans of the same thing. "

 

Try again. What I said means what I said ... how can the Dems compromise with Republicans that neither want nor need them to? If Republicans would actually propose legislation that would be of help in some way to the American people, the Dems are more likely to compromise with them, rather than the other way around. That's been a fact since Gingrich was Speaker. I recommend you study that era.

 

So the old blame game you guys have to go first huh?

 

This is what honest people call self serving horse crap.

 

You did the blaming, not me. And fyi, I'm not a guy.

 

You don't think children have a right to not have their heads messed by people who make **** tons of money from carving them up?

 

I agree. And I fervently wish that was the only issue.

 

You'd have to be more specific as to what you think is "carving them up"

 

Removing genitals and boobs from prepubescent kids.

 

If Barry Goldwater were alive today, I don't think you would like him. Here is a popular button from his 1964 campaign which emphasized a key line from his nomination acceptance speech. He would not be at all pleased with the modern Democrat Party objectives.

 

Yeah, they are not.

 

He'd be less accepting of the modern Republican Party. The take over by the religious right was the very thing he was warning us about.

And I agree, moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue. Attacking the DA because he dared indict a Republican is hardly justice.

 

Thanks for the laugh. That was funny.

 

One person's comedy is another person's tragedy.

 

If the case has no merit, and the DA in question declines to prosecute over 50% of the felony arrests with crime very much on the rise, that DA deserves to be criticized.

 

Okay ma'am. Are you not the one that first mentioned that Republicans won't do any sort of cooperating with Democrats?

So I asked you to give me an example of the last time Democrats cooperated with Republicans and you were unable to do so.

You would probably have to dig pretty far back in the history books to find an example. They certainly never did a single thing to cooperate with Trump administration. Even when he was doing things like trying to lower the price of insulin. Something that you cannot possibly argue does not help all Americans. As a matter of fact that was one of the first things that the Biden administration put the brakes on as soon as they assumed office. But of course he let some time go by and then makes it happen and takes the credit for it.

It was far more important for them to resist Trump at any cost even to anything that benefited all of Americans. They would rather see Americans negatively affected than to see the Trump administration get credit for a damn thing.

So please don't pretend that this divide is not a two-way street and the Democrats are so willing to extend the Olive Branch... Because we both know that is not true.
