What exactly does "treating Republicans like a threat" look like to you?

[–] knightly@pawb.social 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

An end to the fillibuster.

Fistfights in Congress.

Omnibus bills failing as Democrats refuse to put Republican policies in place.

Three-letter-agencies start prosecuting churches that give political endorsements.

Y'know, anything other than bending over backwards to try and work with them.

Democrats refuse to put Republican policies in place

Can you be more specific?

An end to the fillibuster.

I agree, and Senate Democrats seem to be coming around to it too.

Fistfights in Congress

Pointless, though amusing.

Three-letter-agencies start prosecuting churches that give political endorsements.

Agreed.

Can you be more specific?

Romneycare, immigration, defense budgeting, etc etc etc.

Democrats are the only party still pushing bipartisanship.

I get that, I'm asking what you mean by "refuse". You mean just vote against Republican policies every time, no compromise? Because they're already almost doing that.

If a Republican attaches an amendment to a bill, then it should never even make it out of committee. If they propose a bill, it should be tabled and forgotten about. If they try to stick a rider on a must-pass omnibus bill, then let it fail. Republicans in congress should be treated with contempt, not respect.

So, no laws ever get passed.

Congratulations, now Congress is...doing pretty much the same thing as now?
