I think it’s more likely that they’re beholden to multinational corporate donors who need more immigrants as our birth rate implodes.

This is correct, the GOP prefers to be the minority party so they can pretend to support things their constituents want but don't have to actually enact them.



It's like being paid to be a critic without having to actually have to deliver anything substantial.

GOP is the Washington Nationals. Dems are the Globetrotters. This is all scripted.

It's kind of the same reason that the Democrats would never codify abortion as law or legalize weed when they had supermajorities. They'd lose all their leverage when it comes to campaigning and the money that pours in for them.

The SAVE Act is a bogus proposition. Maybe they finally got the guts to opppose Darth Vader…

I fricken despise the "leadershp" the GOP has had, and term limits need to happen.

This board is literally the only place I’d be considered “left wing” if you knew my
Positions overall…

Did you see it elsewhere in another thread here? Many of us have posted for years that the GOPe is only controlled opposition.

It has never been more obvious.

The problem is, they're still thinking the old rules apply. They think the status quo will continue as it always has. They're dead wrong. The modern DNC is going to change all the rules and oust even the opposition they can control once they take power again. Don't think for a second that Agenda 2030 is dead. If we get a President Newsom elected in 2028, it's right back on pace.

It's the Harlem GlobeTrotters and the Washington Generals. Democrats are the GlobeTrotters and eGOP are the Generals. Generals always put on a good show of trying to win, but they really have no intention of beating the GlobeTrotters.

The same reason nothing gets fixed: they would have nothing to run on.

I agree. Everyone is overcomplicating this and is surprised/disappointed when an overwhelmingly popular bill like the SAVE Act is blatantly shut down. Absolutely need consequences for these corrupt turds or things will never change. Paging Kash...
