![]() Translation: You wish the Republican Party were the Democratic Party Lite. (Democrats need not move toward the center, at all; but Republicans should move toward the center...)

so party #1 moves to far extremeX3, and party #2 says no, saying someone has been 'kicked in the teeth' is really absurd. Center for the progressives is x2 to the left, and wonder why those on the Conservative side say no.....

![]() The queen of Hyperbole calling the truth "Flatulence." No surprise there.
Until it got in his way, one of the staunches defenders of the Filibuster was,,,, Senator Chuck Schumer. https://nypost.com/2022/01/09/what-s...he-other-foot/ “Bottom line is very simple: The ideologues in the Senate want to turn what the Founding Fathers called ‘the cooling saucer of democracy’ into the rubber stamp of dictatorship. We will not let them. They want, because they can’t get their way on every judge, to change the rules in mid-stream, to wash away 200 years of history. They want to make this country into a banana republic, where if you don’t get your way, you change the rules. Are we going to let them? It’ll be a doomsday for democracy if we do.” That was what Sen. Chuck Schumer said in 2005, as he successfully argued that Republicans should not change the Senate’s filibuster rules to get their way. Now that Democrats have the Senate majority, with him as their leader, he’s arguing strenuously for sidelining the filibuster to “wash away 200 years of history.” It's called Hypocrisy. For your information, that is flatulence.

![]() Wanting Republicans to agree with Democrat in passing far left loon nonsense is not moving to the center. Its just wanting republicans to disregard their values so that democrats can get their wish list passed.
