It's almost like one is something they agree on and the other isn't!
You see how that's a problem that the government cant agree on making things better for people but can agree on ban something millions enjoy so their donors can have more control over the data of that thing right?
Its not exactly a great example of democracy when we can't raise wages when the price of groceries is rapidly increasing but we can ban apps where kids make 15 second clips of them dancing.
Well when half the population votes against itself that's what you get
Gerrymandering
Man, have you ever noticed how when Democrats do something bad (or fail to do something good) the Democrats get called out? But when Republicans do something bad, we use these veiled phrases like "the government can't agree" or "part of the population votes against itself"?
We avoid saying "the Republicans are fucking us over". I wonder why that is.
