Senator Schumer should tell leader Thune that we are not gonna sit down with him until they can say the words

1. You expect RepubliCONs to say Democratic?

Republicons might get their attention.

2. No, there is no equivalent we can call them. They have been doing this for years. It makes them sound stupid

They do not care how stupid they are, following Trump is about the stupidest thing you can do. but they want us to negotiate in good faith and they insult us. Every chance they get and they blame everything on Biden when there was actually a president between Obama and Biden who fucked everything up.

3. The Repub party won't do anything about it.

[Walleye]

4. They need Democratic votes for their agenda in the Senate

[Omnipresent]

6. Why should the Democratic party give the repub party any help in passing their agenda?

Hasn’t the repub party done enough damage already?

[Walleye]

7. I completely agree. Republicans keep acting as business as usual.

[Jbraybarten]

5. agreed, though they shouldn't sit with them unless they're going be a separate branch of gov't

[Walleye]

8. Yep, why sit down with a bunch of rubber stamps?
