I completely agree with you. When have the Republicans reached for the obvious solution?
The Republican base has continually allowed the people they elect to get away with endlessly talking about problems instead of taking meaningful actions to solve them. They need to be held accountable, just like the rest of us are in our daily lives. We are expected (and rightfully so) to try our best.
For some reason, Republicans just don’t play to win. If you want to win at anything, you have to go on offense and put points on the board. They’re the ones on the playing field, and we expect them to score. If they don’t why do we continuously support them? It makes no sense at all.
