I can't believe only 2 people could think of something they actually believed was wrong without making it a backhanded attack on the "other side." If any person on this board genuinely can't find something wrong about what they believe, it shows a real lack of self-awareness. I could probably skim threads by each poster on here and find a tangible way in which that poster was wrong, myself included.

I am still waiting to see if my 2 big predictions would come true or not. Removing the filibuster and making changes in the Supreme Court are two things I believed would happen during this administration. I'm hoping I'm wrong and Manchin holds strong. I'm hoping it's just political rhetoric. However, you can see the ratchet tightening down, and I still believe it's a very real possibility. If I'm wrong, I will say it.

Maybe instead of people passively attacking the other side, each poster should go back and reread their last year's worth of posts to see how many times they are incorrect. But, no one can bother themselves with facts or self-scrutiny.

Political discourse in this country has become pathetic.

Both sides are cringeworthy. I don't mind debates but what has been happening here is beyond that.

And I'm not giving the OP the satisfaction of me saying what I think I got wrong when he is a smug (his own descriptive word for himself) hypocrite who will literally fill pages with his spin to talk himself out of a corner he backed himself into. No. I don't owe him anything. Had almost any other poster started this subject I probably would have answered. As it is, the answer I gave is as good as it's going to get.
