172 GOP vote against extending the Violence Against Women Act.

[joetheman]

If Democrats continue to govern as though they will lose in 2022, they WILL lose in 2022. We need to begin by fighting back as though we know we ARE going to win in 2022 and take on the like of Mitch and the MAGAs in the House and Senate. We have nothing to lose at this point. We need to go down fighting, sticking together even over issues with which we do not entirely agree.

We need to act to achieve a solid majority in the Senate and the House. Get out there and promote the good that Biden has done thus far. It seems to me that the GOP is doing damage to themselves with their inhumane and grotesque behavior in the House and the Senate. Call them out and take them on! Stand up to the bullies. There are many folk who used to vote GOP who are now disgusted with them. Build on their disgust and don't give up!

Destroy the filibuster NOW! Pass what you want and let the chips fall where they may.

1. Joe, you missed the story: WE WON. And passing the VAWA is NOT

just a vehicle for complaining that Democrats are losing, or in another thread complaining that insurrectionists aren't all in jail.

Expanding the Violence Against Women Act is IMPORTANT. It MATTERS. WE did it.

Btw, its expansion contains GUN CONTROL MEASURES. Ah! No wonder the insurrectionists voted against.

On to the senate!

2. Clearly none of them have wives or mothers or daughters or sisters.

A man who had at least one of those in his life would have voted for it.

3. Au contraire,

they do have these people in their lives, and what stories they could tell...

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

4. Perhaps I should have included the sarcasm thingy.

It is incomprehensible that a man could have a wife, mother, sister, or daughter and not support that.

5. Ah, sarcasm duly noted

and appreciated.
