@brewster It's so dumb to worry about the perception of politics or fairness from the right.
There is literally *nothing* a Dem could do that meets that standard--they don't care.
There is literally *no part of that standard* the right would uphold on their own watch. They. Don't. Care.
@dogcanyon @brewster Fairness according to Republicans is getting literally anything they want, and even then, only when it is them getting it by doing it over someone's will.
See: McConnell pledging to vote against anything the left supports, even if they believe it's the right thing. He said it openly.
