    So republicans have put forward a plan... Yeah.. no...

    Also, that takes federal funding. Who have been the ONLY people in congress trying to pass an infrastructure bill?

    That's right, Democrats.

    Republicans could've passed an infrastructure bill in trump's first 2 years but they were too busy FLEECING us by giving over a Trillion to Billionaires....

    FUCK THEM....

    True.

    Your figures must include drivers who don't pay taxes.

    We don't want their policies.

    Everything I voted for won.

    Nonsense, they've promised to do that for over 30 years, never even put a plausible plan up for vote.

    Freaked out when Trump started talking about it.

    Nope. Kind of a sore loser, also. Bye bye Knute.

    Kate Brown didn't fund anything.

    Hard-working Oregon citizens paid for your son's healthcare, and the least you could do is thank them for it.

    You have to see how this is confusing.

    And the whole point of this thread is to talk about how the Dems have been in charge for decades. What have they done right? You can't blame Republicans for anything here. They haven't been in charge for my entire life.

    Partially because you're in a place where a lot of people vote like you. And like Nate says, what do you have to show for it, besides taking money from my pocket and giving it to an insurance company to pay for a doctor overcharging you for your son's treatment? I know you don't care, which is your right, but the irony of you railing about any kind of tax relief to the middle class while trumpeting that allowing docs and hospitals to charge whatever they want and get paid, by-and-large, for it from tax revenue or debt that's piling up for our kids, is rich.
    Almost samesies, except that I don't think felons should get to vote again unless state gives them clemency. I also don't think they should have weapons, which the Supreme Court agreed with me on. But hey...if the worst that happened was that 1.5M felons get to vote their conscience in 2 years, it was a good night for me. Tampa, at this point, is at least a few more years removed from becoming socialist.

    I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience.

    Damn, there's a mental picture I didn't need. I'm guessing your ass is painted blue then.

    Yes, but it will generate zero discussion because it's not one of the standard polarizing political hot buttons. Mention building a wall and/or a "caravan" heading toward our southern boarder and both sides are up in arms and posting their usual rhetoric. Mention something that has actually happened in our state that has dramatically transformed our economy from one heavily reliant on extraction industries to one based on modern technology and no one cares. If there are no canned sound bites or memes you get crickets.

    I blame Twitter and the rapidly shrinking attention span of the average American (on both sides of the political fence).

    Not exactly, Trump talked about a private enterprise thing. I guess that means private toll roads and private toll bridges. With a Republican majority in both Houses and a Republican President, how come nothing got done? Zilch, zero, the null set, not a thing. Instead, all he talks about is a useless and very expensive Wall, but what am I worried about 'cause he's promised that Mexico will pay for it and be glad they did. A promise made, a promise kept.
