A Senate that cannot communicate during a pandemic

What value are they? Why do they even exist?

Who is responsible? Is it simply the partisan political environment in which we now live? Why can the political leaders not communicate? How can any problem be resolved if people refuse to talk with each other?

What does it gain us to point fingers and blame the other side? What is accomplished?

Mitch McConnell has put his Party into a comfortable cocoon. They feel safe and protected from reality and political attacks.

Howver, they are AWOL from the crisis and serious problems we are now facing. Perhaps if they ignore it, it will go away?

The neglect and incompetence of the Republicans is beyond description.

Who can talk with these people when they refuse to listen?
