The biggest issue here isn’t even this campaign finance change.

The biggest issue is that once again Republicans push a decades-long battle.

Conservatives play the long game. They push their agenda for years and decades at a time until it starts to stick.

Liberals can’t focus on one topic for more than a few weeks or months before they jump onto the next big travesty that they try (but usually fail) to solve. The Left has the attention plan of a goldfish.

There’s a reason why RvW has been thrown out, gun laws are the loosest they’ve been in decades and campaign finance changes happen, while we still don’t have universal healthcare, parental leave, mandatory minimum holidays, etc. One side can look at the big picture and plan their strategy over many, many years, while the other side is endlessly losing focus by jumping to some fake crisis after another and never accomplishing anything.

No, it's more that there are a diverse group of liberals all trying to get attention for whatever issue their pocket is trying to address. The conservatives only care about one issue: Being at the top of the hierarchy. This means they're all working toward similar, reinforcing goals.

It's not an attention span issue. It's a divergent needs issue.

Yeah, and which one gets things done? Maybe the Left should wake the fuck up and realize that focusing in on a handful of issues COLLECTIVELY will go a hell of a lot further than a million smaller issues focused in on by dozens of different sub-groups.

Conservatives get shit done by falling in-line and accepting that what is good for the larger group will help smaller conservative groups in the long run. A rising tide raises all ships.

The ones committing crimes and that cheats. The one that throws out centuries and decades old procedural traditions of our legislative body. The one trying to hurt as many people and burn the country down as fast as possible to get their agenda in so they can perform a coup.

I'm sorry Democrats aren't burning the country at both ends to succeed, but that's generally not what non-traitors do.

Play by the book, lose to the ones who burned it.

The book is only there because reality doesn’t favor the kind, but see how long it takes the kind to be cruel when you burn the rules we lived by, asshole.

Hey, no need for insults, bud.

Any event, you’re correct, the “book” exists because humans couldn’t be trusted to do the right thing (and obviously, still can’t). So because humans can’t be trusted we set up rules they have to follow. But if they still say fuck the rules, then the rules only serve to hinder the side that abides by them.

I know it’s a scenario of “they did it, so why shouldn’t we” which is not exactly a great reason to go against the “book”, but nonetheless, one side has no regard for the book, while the other side is hamstrung by it. They’re already cruel with the book in place. Watch what happens when they burn it and the other side along with it.

You’re right, sorry. I should have realised you weren’t necessarily in agreement with what you said.
