  It’s one thing to disagree on taxes and shit like that. That’s usually easy enough to compromise on. It’s a whole other thing to actively work to hurt your constituents and call it compromise. The GOP’s entire focus for the last decade has been the latter.
  You open a bag of carrots and find a bad one, all wilted and rotting. Does it still go into the pot to get cooked with the rest or do you throw it away?
context: It raises the threshold to challenge presidential electors from the states to 20% of the House and Senate, rather than the current one lawmaker from each chamber.
  
  This is a welcome change.  Never made sense that one yokel in the House could find one Senator and lodge an objection >
  
  House always has these fringe ppl. When certifying 2016 election, several democratic reps tried to use the opportunity to have a sound bite but they did not have any senate co-sponsors. That is normal. In 2020, you had all these asshat senators willing to go along and hence this change is a rebuke for them. Getting 20 crazy senators is a high mark - hopefully. >
  
  Your comment won’t age well.
  The least stupid Republican president since the 80s is arguably Reagan who had Alzheimer’s in office . >
  
  It should work as an effective guard with the CURRENT sitting senators. It won't work if the poison continues to spread as it has. >
  
  As long as the GOP continues to exist, the poison is actively being spread. >
  
  It's not all of them, I wouldn't say they need to cease to exist as a party, just reign in the crazy. It's healthy to have respectable people with opposing views in power. >
  
  They all fall in line when ordered. The GOP should be exiled from government for the things they’ve done. >
  
  Well, that's never going to happen, and since democracy runs on compromise, we gotta learn to live with and work with people we don't agree with if we want it to work.
