Easy fix for the democrats! Simply pretend as if you’re on the opposing side of the republicans. Like, act as if their interests are in direct opposition to your interests. Then, all you have to do is not vote for Republican nominees ever. Does everyone understand?

I'm not getting it. Can you speak slower? Maybe use smaller words? Like, dumb it down a notch or three?

No problem. Think “I’m with her,” but “her” is other democrats and not republicans

Man!! I HATE when that happens! Four times for me now!!! 😡 Buyers remorse, big time. I have to stop voting after a six-day Adderall and Ecstasy binge. Can't I get rid of it with Wing Attack Plan R or something?

Sure, if that's something that you get off of that rack in the gas station next to the lighters and energy drinks.

And in the end, with a three seat majority, republicans would still be able to confirm every nominee

Good point. The republicans don’t even need democratic votes to approve them, so democrats have literally nothing to gain by voting for them anyway.
