If Joe Manchin really cared about saving our government

He would vote to end the filibuster, setup the Jan 6 commission, pass the infrastructure bill, and pass HR1....even if it cost him his seat in the next election..... heidi heitkamp, joe Donnelly, and Doug Jones showed more courage than him with their votes.

Just made a trip to Walmart

Yeah, I know that people that are vaccinated don’t have to wear a mask, but why does it look like the people going around maskless are the same ones who were doing it before and are also the people who probably aren’t vaccinated either. They all had the deplorable Trumper look to them

Even Rasmussen can't make the numbers bad

Yeah....I know it’s Rasmussen so it should be taken with caution, but this is 3 days in a row from this outfit with Biden at +12.

Remember, Republicans like to project

So when they say that BLM and ANTIFA were the ones really behind the Capitol attack and that their people were peaceful....what they really are saying is that during last year’s protests against police violence that they infiltrated those pretending to be protesters and to cause a stir

I bet if Biden and Schumer accept the Republican counter proposal

And puts those changes into the infrastructure bill, those same Republicans would still vote No...

Smaller population states are too powerful in the senate

The Senate already gives more power to smaller states like Wyoming by giving them the same amount of Senators than big states like California....having the filibuster increases their power even more...it’s like a double whammy

When are Democrats going to learn

You can’t negotiate and compromise with Republicans because they are doing it in bad faith. This bipartisan Capitol Attack commission is another example....you give them what they wanted and they still vote no...

This tweet is so true

Not the Chapman tweet, but the reply....Republicans play so dirty and usually win because of it, and they know Democrats won’t stoop to their level.

The Republican villain

Other than Trump and Bush...the Democrats never have a Republican goto villain. Someone we tie every Republican and candidate to....and there are plenty of them out there (green, Gaetz, etc)....that’s one thing that the Republicans do, they find them a Democratic “villain” (usually a POC and/or woman) and they tie every Democrat to that person....you can be running for dog catcher as a Democrat in rural Iowa and they would run negative commercials of you and showing AOC, during the debate they would mention AOC a dozen times...an example actually happened last year here where I live in Texas (the chip roy/Wendy Williams race and the Gonzales/Ortiz-Jones race)....you would have thought that Pelosi. AOC and the squad members were on the ballot instead of Jones and Williams.

Edit - in no way do I think AOC is a villain...just pointing out how Republicans turn her into the boogeyman
