Man, have you ever noticed how when Democrats do something bad (or fail to do something good) the Democrats get called out? But when Republicans do something bad, we use these veiled phrases like "the government can't agree" or "part of the population votes against itself"?

We avoid saying "the Republicans are fucking us over". I wonder why that is.
