    I’m making fun of the trend that “if it weren’t for republicans the US would be a utopia”.

    No one is making that claim. “If it weren’t for Republicans, the Democrats could pass useful legislation” is absolutely the case.

    But thanks for the strawman I guess.

    You say this immediately after using a straw man…

      If it weren’t for the republicans the democrats would have an actual opposition party instead of a death cult to contend with

      If it weren’t for Republicans, Democrats would find another excuse for not wielding the power we give them.
