You correctly noticing republican politicking, while simultaneously confusing democrats politicking for governance. If you were capable of critical thought (like you seem to think you are) you would be able to "watch the ball, "as you are so fond of saying. 

Democrats are destroying our country with bad governance. Period. You don't give them a political win so they can stay in power and keep ruining the country. I wish politics were not necessary, but too many people, including yourself, are not capable of discerning lie from truth because the lies get "widely reported." So, yeah... I'm not focused on the politics. It's the same reason I think establishment Republicans need to go, too. 

Btw, none of this has to do with personality, so it's ridiculous you tried to even frame it that way, in addition to creating a strawman about conspiracies. Stick to the main argument instead of misrepresenting my position for internet clout or whatever it is you're getting from this board.

Shouldn't be hard to find, then. Give me some examples. When I look it up, even using mainstream sources, I see lots of info about mine Johnson, but maybe my sources aren't far left enough.

Spare me.

In order to govern, in order to change a policy, you have to politick and get the votes in Congress.  And in order to gain the seats, and the Presidency, you have to politick with the voters.  You know that, I know that. I'm not criticizing the politicking.  

I'm saying that the table was cleared to stop politicking and start governing, and too many people would rather keep politicking. 

That is not how the system was designed to work.  It's not supposed to be all politicking all the time.  They have to spend more of their time governing.

And stop getting my points confused with NYC's points.

I'm not getting confused with you and NYC. You're the same person. Comfortable know-it-alls who have their worldview shaped by partisan hacks. 

Democrats didn't just decide to "govern." They had no problem taking action in the first 2 months of the Biden Presidency and allowing illegals to stream through the border. They didn't even visit the border until election year. That's politicking, and it's really frustrating that you can't see how you're being played. Democrats have to eat the [BLEEP] they made. Republicans would be foolish to bail them out, but it makes sense why YOU think they should.
