Yes, that was my point, republicans make a tangible difference when they get in while democrats mostly sit with their thumb up their ass. Interesting how trump did more in 4 years than obama did in 8. I do remember when the DNC pushed through an insanely unpopular candidate while also promoting trump as much as they could because they thought he'd be easy to win against. Somehow democrats think they can be smug and say "I told you so" when they're the stupid fucks who lost against a clown that they helped set up as the opponent. It's a joke party and their representative animal being a jackass suits them well.
Ohhh so you're one of those people. Your mask slipped a bit - you changed "made things worse" into "made a difference".
So this whole time you only cared about hurting the Democrats, huh? You sure don't sound like a Russian asset. What's your motivation?
Or -- hold onto your seat for this stunning twist -- I said "make a tangible difference" to emphasize that they're making a tangible difference that people can feel. Being worse is a difference, galaxy brain.
Sure, but with very different connotations. I'm not an idiot, I see what you did.
But if you're still going to pretend this is a normal discussion there's no point in me continuing.
