    You clearly are lacking in reading comprehension.

    Or you’re just trolling to piss me off.

    That’s what working with Republicans is. Its an olive branch. Its redemption for the Republicans being so clearly in the wrong in terms of strategy for the past 8 years

    No. It’s taking the best action to advance democratic policies. We won’t get any policies or influence with whoever comes next.

    Welcome to a split congress. Your position would give them free rein to try and pass whatever they want in the house.

    It’s not an olive branch. It’s a leash.

    And if that isn’t the case, I’ve asked you what laws Democrats should go for, like whats the material position here, whats the specific policy or legislation, and you’ve offered none. Your ‘going on the offensive’ is just handing R’s the opportunity to turn a loss into a win

    Sealioning. Go watch some political news. If you can’t find something worthwhile, you’re not paying attention.

    And again, it is not handing them a win. They win if we do get rid of him just as much as we lose. We gain nothing by it, but we give up that leash.

    Your way clears the way for the fascists to do whatever the fuck they want, with no motivation at all to come to the table. At least with Johnson on the leash, we can block most of what comes down; and maybe get something meaningful.

    Which is probably better than the headlines we’ll get.
