More strength in the Senate for the Democrats can help things move more smoothly.

It's not just a clean-up effort. The daily business has to flow as well.

McConnell's got to be neutered.

Dems are known for cleaning up the GOP disasters, ask any historian. However, the political memory of the average American is less than a gnat's. Now it is even worse with social media and BS "news". I am beyond fed -up with dealing with the same GOP BS for the majority of my life. Reagun then Fux Ruse/hate radio are the most to blame for our current situation.

We must win GA and do it with the ACA at the same time as Covid. It worked in the mid-terms and that was before Covid. We must get rid of Mitch's power!

These MFers have blighted my life for longer than I care to remember.

After chimpy lied the nation into a disastrous war, then crashed the economy, I felt confident that America had learned its lesson and another puke would not get within stealing distance of the White House for the next couple of decades. Only 8 years later, however, an even worse man gets installed. Fricking unbelievable.

trump is unimaginable.

But, the Biden Admin will do it.

There was an OP about how "after the 2020 election it makes it hard to be optimistic about the future".. Well I'm just the opposite.. for the first time in 4 years I Am Optimistic about our Future!

With the weight of the world carried squarely on his shoulders, Joe Biden always manages to present a dignity, hope & pride that reminds his beaten down & weary people, that what we've endured for 4 unfortunate years will reach it's end & life in America will return to the joy we once knew.

Stand with him & trust that he will get us there, & follow his awesome lead.
That's how America goes forward.

We got so damned lucky 🙂

Sad but true. It is always this way after repuke president, but far worse this time.

But Joe, Kamala, & team are up for it.

We must win both GA Senate runoffs!

They inherited recessions and turned the economy around despite republican efforts to sabotage their efforts. Then after putting people back to work, paying down annual deficits, building a stronger more resilient military and a safer world, the public turned on them.

Dammit! Can't we get it through our thick democratic heads? You have to make people suffer if you want them to idolize and vote for you!! It's okay to make their lives better for a while, but we have to make sure people are dying and unemployed in record numbers if we're ever going to get red states to appreciate what we've done for them.
