Standards Check: An Honest Question for Democrats on here

[Sunni Man]

If it wasn't for their double standards. Democrats wouldn't have any standards. ...

 

[Concerned American]

I haven't seen anyone on the left condemning these people.

The hypocrisy is deafening, isn't it? Do you remember when US senator Cruz met his family in Cancun for a preplanned vacation and they screamed high heaven because he didn't address a power outage that he had no control over? Now we have STATE representatives that are abandoning their duties while the state is under siege from foreign invaders and they are singing Kumbaya in DC.

And Cruz didn't actively and intentionally spread Covid all over like the Texas Dems are doing.

So, there was a bill in Texas that was going to be passed which the Democrats disagreed with. Instead of accepting what every other losing party to a bill does, they left the state to stagger and prevent the Democratic process. They joyfully took photos, tweeted about how brave they were, and sang civil rights anthems as they almost literally publicly masterbated.. all of this as the Kamala Harris and the Biden Administration praised them as heroic, and the media stroked their members to ensure the DNA sprayed. It was a disgusting, anti-democracy, virtue signaling orgy. I haven't seen anyone on the left condemning these people.

Well, Joe Biden has a 3.5 trillion dollar stimulus he wants to pass, along with other massive pork. He's going to try to illegally include it into a finance-only bill, and would only need a 50% vote instead of a 60. Lindsey Graham said that since the Texas Democrats held up democracy because they know they'd lose, that he may do the same thing and have Republicans Congress so that Biden's bill cannot be passed.

Question:
Would you be okay if the GOP did this?

If not... why haven't have you had a problem that the Texas Democrats HAVE done this, and why aren't you disputing Kamala Harris and the Biden Administration's support of this?

Is being "anti-democracy" always bad? Or.. is it only bad, and important to outwardly condemn, when you think the "other guys" do it, while being okay, or not worthy of mention, when you do it...

The filibuster is not Constitutional. It was not included in the Constitution, and it was never intended to be part of the legislative process.

The Republicans have abused the filibuster - it should be eliminated.

If the Republicans want to boycott the Senate and prevent a quorum, it's up to them. We'll see how that works for them in 2022.

Meanwhile, all State Democrats should do everything possible to stop the Republicans from suppressing Democracy.

Graham says he's ready to fly the coup.

Graham flew the coup a long time ago...

How many times have the Democrats used the filibuster versus Republicans in the past 10 years?

 

[Richard-H]

How many times have the Democrats used the filibuster versus Republicans in the past 10 years?

A lot less than the Republicans. Republicans don't try to legislate, except for reducing taxes for the wealthy.

The Democrats used the filibuster 314 times from 2016-2020 under president Trump, more than the GOP used in all 8 years under Obama

When considered the bill wants to stop voters, who they feel are democrats, by obstructing them, I can't consider the action by democrats as being anti democracy. Republicans are deliberately being arseholes.

But let's recall your hypocrisy here.
Bidrn was elected democratically and you know it but you guys haven't stopped trying to overturn the Democratic process with ratbag bellowing about fraud etc.
You can't have it both ways comrade.

You're a fucking hypocrite. You need to study your history. The democrats have used the filibuster more than anyone else. Ironically, the most famous would be when South Carolina democrat Sen. Strom Thurmond filibustered for 24 hours to stall the 1957 Civil Rights Act. The democrats did it again to stall the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This one was led by none other than democrat heeeero Robert Byrd for 75 DAYS. Bone up on your history, moron.

Let me get this straight. The Republicans who have spent the last several months screaming about a stolen election without proof of any sort and in spite of evidence to the contrary are saying the Democrats aren’t playing fair regarding democracy?

stolen election without proof of any sort and in spite of evidence to the contrary

Still being investigated, ma'am. There have been volumes of evidence that are currently being investigated. Get your facts straight.

^^^ post of the day! Dems are phony, you can't believe one word that comes out of their lying big fat mouths.

The great hope Cyber Ninja is down to arguing they don’t know how 74,000 valid ballots were sent out. The people who sent them back were registered and eligible voters. But how were they sent back.

That is what they are left with. Now they are saying they need to go door to door to ask voters questions.

Who is "we guys"?

Why are you using insults instead of names?

Why are you so obtuse?

They don't function under the same rules. I don't think it would work

 

[Mr. Friscus]

How about this one. It's a better ploy than sending a mob to attack Congress and halt the vote!

Yeah, that would be something bad. When did that happen?

 

[struth]

Well it is a legal procedural move but the majority in the US House and Senate have more power to compel their members attendance than the states do. But they are welcome to try.

There are arrest warrants out there for them, and they are currently fugitives...so I wouldn't say it's legal

Not the actual Republicans in Washington, no. They haven't talked about Trump in half of a year. It's just the left, media nut jobs, and folks like you who do.

But, if you want to go tit for tat... I suppose you had a MAJOR problem with the leftist/Democrat claims in 2016 that the election was stolen by Russian for Trump?
