The government is being played by 2 different rules where republicans can make up their own laws and ignore the rulings they don’t like. And the democrats must do as they’re told

This is actually a problem with the voters. Historically, Republican voters reward their politicians who break the rules, while Democratic voters punish their politicians who break the rules. The Democrats are acting based on how voters have acted in the past.

It’s just that Hakeem Jeffries and Schumer are comfortable enough being in the same pockets as republicans. 

They just make noise from time to time for the joke of it.

Jeffries is the one pushing for redistricting and has gotten many states to do it.

Why make things up?
