Honestly wasn’t so sure about this whole ‘force the vote’ stuff

I was of the mind that if you “voted blue no matter who” we’d just end up with a bunch on conservative democrats. Which did happen and wouldn’t make a difference, right?

But now I’m looking at it in a different light. Bernie “forced the vote” on a minimum wage increase and a bunch of the conservative democrats had to vote no on it. And people are (rightfully) pissed at them.

In my particular neck of the wood, Senator Sinema made a point of doing a cutesy little hip pop with her chocolate cake in hand as she gleefully voted ‘no’ on the minimum wage increase and then bounced away. And people are pissed at that. it was so bad, She now faces a legitimate threat of in the primaries from the left. I was actually suprised at that level of backlash. And here I was, starting to think the Democratic voter base was just going to morph into blue maga. Hahaha

I don't think you really understand what actually happened, what it actually means, and why your manufactured outrage over give-aways is misguided.

NoahB · 26-30, M

@MarkPaul no, i know exactly what happened

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@NoahB Well, what you posted suggests you are misinformed... in a big way.

NoahB · 26-30, M

@MarkPaul no it actually proves im very smart

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@NoahB I'm telling you, you are wrong. Perhaps you just don't understand the political dynamics at play. It is a bit advanced and you might just not have enough capability to understand those dynamics.

NoahB · 26-30, M

@MarkPaul no i understand it perfectly clear and outlined my case above. so far you've just told me i don't understand without any actual reasoning

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@NoahB Wrong again. I told you specifically you seem entirely and only interested in whatever handouts you can get your hands on and not interested in the process, debate of different opinions, and the Constitution. You are not interested in compromise, in making room for people you deem standing in your way of handouts, or literally anything that challenges your narrow "stimmy" mentality. I'm not impressed.

NoahB · 26-30, M

@MarkPaul yeah yeah yeah, look i heard all this when obama was in office. not fallin' for it twice.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@NoahB Well, I just find your self-absorption sickening tbh. We've been through this already, but I just find it obnoxious. And, annoying.

NoahB · 26-30, M

@MarkPaul sure sure, why don't you take that "ask not what your country can do for you" schtick somewhere else you're barking up the wrong tree with that stuff for me. you won't guilt me into feeling bad for politicans

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@NoahB Yeah... that's exactly my point. You are only interested in what you can get in a handout today and everyone and everything else be damned. I'm all about long term strategy.

NoahB · 26-30, M

@MarkPaul you don't think the democrats delivering on their promises will yield long term benefits?

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@NoahB Well, yes they will. But, it won't all happen in one bill, on one day, to satisfy your low attention span.

NoahB · 26-30, M

@MarkPaul lol, fair enough. but to that point I guess I'll just have to keep on griping until they come through on their promises to labor and the enviroment. only one way to shut this baby up and thats to give it it's bottle.😜

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@NoahB Well, I'm just going to have call you out for your greed, boomer-like attitudes, and reckless expectations.

NoahB · 26-30, M

@MarkPaul go ahead. we can have this dance as many times as you like

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@NoahB 😤 You need to acknowledge the implications of your greed.

NoahB · 26-30, M

@MarkPaul you call it greed. but to me its more like making sure i don't fall under the same hypnosis that trump put the republicans in. its foolish to just make excuses for our leaders constantly. i've said it a million times. i'll take the dems over the republicans anyday but also I don't trust them, ya know?

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@NoahB Greedy people always attempt to rationalize their greed.

NoahB · 26-30, M

@MarkPaul sure sure. and brainwashed people always deflect blame

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@NoahB Except you're promoting greed and acting like you are brainwashed.

NoahB · 26-30, M

@MarkPaul no u

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@NoahB 🤨
