McCain and Romney were not Democrats, nor were they in charge of the House/Senate...

Is this supposed to be serious? What a leftist way to ignore what what written.
McCain and Romney had quite alot of control of the Republican party at that time. And they don't vote the way Republicans do so they obviously aren't Republicans.

Ah, yes. The "no true Scotsman" defense.
Last I checked, John McCain was the presidential nominee for the Republican Party in 2008. I'd say that's a pretty good indication he's a Republican, wouldn't you?
Or is this another one of those "everyone I don't agree with is a Leftist!" things?

CDC finally listening to me.
The Centers for Disease Control is set to announce that people ... no ... need to wear masks or physically distance, indoors or outdoors.

Two things occur to me in reading this
One is to ask for specific examples of how a Republican votes vs. how a Democrat votes.
Another would be to ask why voting like an American is worse then voting like a Democrat or a Republican.

oh look, that mccain name again. i feel like i JUST read something here about him from diesel....
"People on our side of the aisle believe that Trump policies worked, they're disappointed that he lost. And to try and erase Donald Trump from the Republican Party is insane. And the people who try to erase him are going to wind up getting erased.
"It's impossible for this party to move forward without President Trump being its leader because the people who are conservative have chosen him as their leader," Graham said.

Politicians, collectively, have been very successful over the past several decades at dividing the People into two groups, and then digging the imaginary divide between those two groups deeper and deeper.
We've now arrived at the logical end-state of that policy, which is that if someone doesn't completely, 100% agree with me, then they must be terrible, full of fear and hate for everything which I hold dear. As such, it would be wrong of me to even engage in constructive dialogue with them, for they cannot possibly have anything which is not evil to say.
This is the utopia which the Democrats and Republicans have been working to achieve. We the People are now so dazzled by the bitterness which separates us, that the political fight itself is all that matters.

no. we just want representatives that support our values. not a uni-party of communists that's hell-bent on the destruction of our values, wealth, liberties, culture, and white people.

goal 15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
pretty much all these goals have been accomplished. slow and steady wins the race. meanwhile black people think whitey is out to get them, when they out robbing Asians....

I never get tired of watching people blow each other up over a minor difference in the interpretation of a two thousand year old storybook.
They're almost as bad as the comic-book folks.
