Democrats: Republicans Aren’t Your “Friends” or Your “Colleagues Across the Aisle”
That’s part of the problem with politics
Some of the most ridiculous lines in political chatter have to be the ones that include “My friends on the other side” and “My colleagues across the aisle.” I hear it on TV; I hear it in speeches, and recently I heard it during the impeachment hearings. Democrats need to stop parroting those words.
A friend is someone who has your back; a colleague is a coworker. Republicans are neither. They’re nowhere near friendly, and they won’t work with Democrats.
Mitch McConnell has been clear: he’s proud of the Supreme Court seat he stole, and he’s proud of the bills he’s killed. McConnell and his actual coworkers are stacking the courts so they can put Democrats out of business. Republicans are not playing around, and neither should Democrats.
Republicans don’t want Democrats to have any stake in the country. And while both parties may be bad, they aren’t equally so. The parties are twinsies, and the eviler twin has to end.
“My friends” and “My colleagues” are the words that let segregationists control Congress, and they’re why Joe Biden had fine words for Mike…
