Telling people we'll do something IF YOU VOTE FOR US IN NOVEMBER, when people already gave you majorities however slim RIGHT NOW, is guaranteed only to make people angrier. If Daddy abuses you & Mommy wrings her hands but won't do anything about it, you grow up enraged at Mommy.

These bullshit statements are the problem when you know fucking well that 2 “Dems” Manchin and Sinema won’t vote to get rid of the filibuster and you know it takes 60 votes in the Senate to do anything. Why not say something productive like we need 5 or 6 more Senators VOTE DEM!

So? You propose what, exactly? Cause we know we need more seats in the Senate but perhaps you have a better solution to this...care to explain?

Reminds me of 2010...they decided to put off the vote on tax cuts for the wealthy "until after mid-terms". Then lost the House. Actually, I don't think they ever intended to do that. But point is, always some type of scam, eh?

This is crazy and simplistic. There are rules in Congress. You can have a majority and not have enough of it to pass legislation. Look at the Senate.🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

You. And Manchin. And Sinema. And Sarandon. Can eat a bag of eggplants. Sideways. All of the people who get just a little bit of notoriety and a little bit of a platform don't help unless THEY are center-stage. They don't understand "team" because the only vowel THEY use is "I"!

You're on fire today Marianne. Just remember this anger when the urge to preach VBNMW at us strikes in a few months.

Once again for those in the back. The pipe dream that burning it all down will result in anything but fascism is the biggest folly of the libertarian left. I get that the idea is to get people to rise up and fight, but autocracy is waiting in the wings, not liberal utopia.

Unfortunately, they are 2 votes shy of the majority they need to eliminate the filibuster.
