Yeah this is true but this forces the opposition to be on record being like “no fuck you” and there’s an election coming up where the young vote is very critical

You likely don't remember the last time that happened, and when the next thing like this comes along you'll probably completely forget this time. And by the next time, youll definitely have forgotten this time. Politicians rely on abusing this fact. Its how they continue to stay in power.

Besides the fact that Republicans weaponize hypocrisy while Democrats try avoid it...

So no, both sides remember. One side just pretends like they forget lmfao.
