Those are two very different things . <| sep |> Handwaving . Ignoring factsYou ' re just making excuses for them . Why is it acceptable when they do nothing but bad when the Republicans do nothing ? Ridiculous expectations and strawmanning . I just got through explaining climate change takes a long time to make a difference . First up , I don ' t consider it acceptable when Democrats do bad . And Republicans are not doing nothingYes , I imagine that being the ones that made gas $ 10 gallon and jet travel prohibitively expensive would harm their chances in the polling booths . Maybe people don ' t want to do somethign about it ? Then maybe people should say that instead of bullshit like 90 % of scientists are in a conspiracy . Strawman . Fallacy fallacy . I stated things as I saw it . Given rallying cries to tear down obamacare , defund planned parenthood and the like , how about you show me some evidence of Republicans cooperating with a generally Democratapproved issue ?
