This .meme just encourages partisanship. Parties having locked unity seems worse for democracy than dissent.
when we talk policies this argument has some merit, but we are talking fundamental proceedings to enable the parliament to be able to work at all.
if a party cannot get this straight and its members to compromise for that,then this harms democracy much more. It paralyzes and ultimately delegitimizesdemocracy as a form of government,which is precisely what the MAGA hats want.
Oh. Yeah, great point.
I disagree. I think the whole situation will force Republicans to work with Democrats because now that there's 3 "parties," there will have to be more compromises.
Only there are no three parties, but two. Any republican who deviates from that will soon find no more support from his party for the next election cycle.
Doesn't matter they have their districts gerrymandered. You'd have to primary them.
Republicans are very good at primarying their own
That's pretty much what's happened. Cheney, Kinziger, etc. I'm not sure what the overlap of R's sitting in districts Biden won by a lot, but I'm guessing there aren't many.
I mean, this is of course the Republican parties own doing. They've been poking at the rabid dog that is their base for decades and accelerated further with the tea party, birther nonsense, catastrophizing a tan suit, etc, on top of their usual cries to cut education and social programs. Now they can't control the monster they have created, which is honestly at least a little satisfying, except, you know, the whole sane people still being also trapped with the monster also part.
