FACT: that infastructure bill did not pass, because the progressive democrats hijacked it. Not because of anything the GOP did.
it hasn't been voted on yet to be signed into law but hea why would know that
"how many Bill have they filibustered
Beats me. How many did the democrats fillibuster under Trump? Zero? Or do you only oppose fillibustering when the democrats are in control? like none because Mitch wouldn't bring a vote on a bill unless he knew Trump would sign it Hundreds of bills created in the House of Representatives lingered in McConnell's dead bill file! Soooooo filibuster opportunities were unavailable!
"when it's more like GOP's tyranny of the minority "
Cue the sinister music. Dun dun dun!!!
"67 percent of voters support requiring teachers and students to wear masks in schools. Even in the “reddish” state of Florida,"
But the science doesn't support little kids wearing masks in schools. So I don't care what the majority wants. Whos science jim yours
"Gov. Ron DeSantis don’t appear to care what the majority of voters want;"
That must explain why he's so unpopular there, and why everyone is fleeing FL and moving to CA instead! get a new argument thats relevant
"Republicans across the nation are enacting polices on issues from Covid safeguards to restrictions on abortion"
I don't think people elect republicans because they promised to make abortion more widespread. ya ok
We get it, you don't like republicans. But there are huge pockets of the population that embrace conservatism. and do you have a point other then they live in gerrymandered districts or in states that get 2 senators and have less populations then some Cities You need to learn to deal with it. Sometimes you get your way at election time, sometimes you don't. As Obama liked to say, "elections have consequences." yes jim elections have consequences when the republican is willing to rig the game to hold so many seats while representing only if you add up the population of states and assign half to each of their two senators, “the Democratic half of the Senate represents 41,549,808 more people than the Republican half.”
Unless there's another major crisis, the midterms are going to be a referendum on what America thinks about open borders, abortion until birth, men going to the bathroom with little girls, demonizing the police, viewing EVERYTHING through the lens of race, huge spikes in the price of gas, meaningful inflation for the first time in many many years, green new deals, druggies shooting up on the lawns of public elementary schools, China continuing to rise in power, etc. Not all of that is the fault of Democrats, but not all of covid was Trump's fault, either. Sometimes you're in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Obama got absolutely creamed in his first midterm. And Biden isn't Obama.
The Republicans don't need to do anything, just sit back and watch AOC lead the entire democratic party right off the lefty cliff.
