    Not even needed to be honest. Blue states need to swing their dick around and demand shit, but blue state politicians aren’t doing anything. I know this isn’t the most palatable comparison, but slave states, leading up to the Civil War, swung their dick around and got concession after concession from free state politicians even if they didn’t have nearly enough votes to get legislation they wanted and could have been shut out by simple majorities. Blue states and blue state politicians really need to get some fucking cojones or the US is heading down a path it’s never going to come back from.

      This is literally what MAGA politicians are doing right now. I’ve said it before, but it’s humiliating watching the Democratic Party losing “the game” by insisting on playing by the rules when the opposing team is openly bragging about cheating.
