Democrats have not Compromised/Broken Ranks in at least 50 years

That was not a "what-about-ism".

The post that I replied to was suggesting that Democrats were completely to blame for the debt. The link that I posted, and my own typed reply, were simply disputing that assertion. The purpose of a "what-about-ism" is deflection. The purpose of my reply was to correct a false claim; not to deflect from the topic at hand.

... and who are you to be calling out "what-about-isms", anyway? Drawing false equivalencies are practically all you do here.

I am basically (at least attempting) responding to what I take to be the basic premise of the thread; that Democrats refuse meaningful compromise while Republicans seem to always cave on what should be core principles. I am trying to make the point that Republicans shouldn’t do this because they are in effect compromising with evil, which is what I believe Ms Rand was criticizing.
Does that help clarify my position?

That is not an accurate position to hold, during a period of time such as January of 2017 to January of 2019, when the Republican Party had a President in The White House and majority control of both the House and Senate. Republicans had a booming economy at their back, and yet irresponsible spending bills were still passed anyway.

The reckless spending under President Donald Trump had nothing to do with Democrats being unwilling to compromise, or with Republicans "caving in" to the evil Democrats. The Trump Administration was the driving force behind that spending, and a majority of it was done at a time (pre-COVID) when the economy did not need fiscal stimulus. This did not reflect Republicans in Congress caving in to Democrats. The bloated spending in those 2 years was a reflection of Republicans in Congress caving in to the fiscally irresponsible budget requests of Donald Trump.

Great retort. Ignore the content, why don't you? LOL.

That doesn't make it seem like you're dodging the issue at all. LOL.

Sorry, but that is rather pathetic, even for you.

What do I need to say? lmao Everyone knows your game. It doesn't matter the subject, it's always "but Trump". You're not near as clever as you seem to believe. You're a Dem apologist with weak arguments. It's really kind of sad.

I spend very little time defending the policies of the Biden Administration or Democratic Party-sponsored legislation ...

... and I'm more critical of Joe Biden than I am ever given credit for. I have repeatedly stated that I believe Joe Biden should be censured for his illegal handling of classified material. None of you from the right wing echo chamber ever acknowledged that. Republicans aren't even calling for that yet. I'm not a Democratic Party "apologist".

You do nothing here but draw false equivalencies as a means of defending Republicans, and attack me for discussing Trump, because that is easier than having to dispute anything that I post for being inaccurate. If my arguments are weak, then you should discuss them. You never do. You are as tribal as anyone here, while also being less substantive than most posters are in this forum, as well.

Remember that time that @Weezer contributed something of factual substance to the politics forum?

I don't either.

Apparently, you didn't notice this post. It was factual substance.

That is an inaccurate statement, and I explained why. You contribute nothing to this forum in the way of substantive debate.

He can't defend Biden's policies. He knows Biden is terrible. He has admitted that. Whataboutism only goes so far.

He has been a constant in this forum for so many years. I don't mind his takes even when I disagree with most.

He'll be back. He doesn't like Biden who was probablyhis last choice, and there is no Republican boogie man for him to take out frustration on. And have you ever seen a more worthless VP? She was assigned the position as a puppet in name only much like Biden. This is an administrative state run by bureaucrats behind the scenes. We don't really know who is in charge. They've farmed it out to several people. Biden has little details about any of it.

I agree. Whenever the democrats are failing, many disappear.

By all accounts, the Democratic Party did much better than expected in the most recent election cycle, which was just a few months ago.

Democrats picked up a seat in the Senate, while only losing 9 seats in the House. Every projection had Republicans picking up at least 12 seats in the House. The toss up elections in the House, went in the Democrats favor by a 2 to 1 margin.

Democrats also won elections for Governor in battleground states such as Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

There wasn't anything close to a "red wave." That sure doesn't sound like failing to me.

If you vote Republicans into office to curb spending then you aren't paying attention. There is no benefit to them to do so
