There is a current thread about the GOP, and the infrastructure Bills.

It is here:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100216042681


https://politicalwire.com/2021/11/11/gop-wrestles-with-infrastructure-vote/

It could just as easily be titled "GOP leadership struggles to contain an outbreak of sanity".

It is obvious to any sane observer that the GOP has no plans that do not revolve around cutting taxes for the billionaire class.

There is no GOP healthcare plan, no GOP economic plan, no GOP infrastructure plan.

Only fear based slogans and appeals to racism.

My congratulations to any Democrats who must negotiate with these people.

"why does the media never ask the republicans what their plans are for infrastructure, healthcare, economics etc. Why is always up to dems to explain their plans and they just let the repubs rage against it but never ask them to explain what they are going to do.

The interviewer asked me, " is the loss in Virginia a sign that Democrats must move back to the center?"

My response was, "Joe Biden received more votes in 2020 than any Presidential candidate in history. I cannot recall any media outlets asking GOP voters if the GOP should move back to the center. Why is that?"

The interviewer thanked me for my observation, and moved to a commercial break.

The media narrative is always, "Democrats in disarray".

And if the GOP wins by the narrowest of margins it is a mandate from heaven.

As I anticipate will happen in my state where they did everything they could to misappropriate the Covid relief funds.
