I really hope the Democrats don't blow this

[Proud liberal 80]

They have a strong message for the Georgia runoffs....When Pelosi and the House pass the new bill for $2000 for all Americans it will obviously be defeated in the Senate if voted on at all.....Simple message ‘Republicans had time and urgency to confirm judges, but can’t find the time or urgency to give Americans real relief.’ And then the media and the Democratic candidates need to know what Purdue and Loefler think

1. McConnell won't have the vote until after the runoff

4. McConnell won't have a vote period.

He has been covering for the Republicans for far too long. By not bringing things to a vote.

2. OK how do you convince them that we're not socialists who want to defund the police

[dem4decades]

3. Why even mention the judges? That might energize the Republican base.

Just say Trump went golfing and the Republicans in the Senate did nothing.

6. Good point

5. Thanks for sharing your optimism!

I know what you mean, Proud liberal 80.

However, we need to stay positive for the next 4 years. This shit that Trump has revealed isn't going away on January 21st.

The Democratic machinery in Georgia seems to be working overtime. I'm hopeful for a double win. I'm sure you share that sentiment.

Have a good week, amigo.

7. More doom porn.

Every freaking day--twice a day sometimes.

8. +1. N/t

9. as long as we all are keeping in mind

that this is matter of "playing the hand we're dealt." Yes, there is certainly a strong message for the Dems to present. But there's also the fact that some people just aren't listening -- no matter the message. Let's recall that 70-80% of Rs approved of Donald Trump's performance -- no matter what kind of sh*t he was dealing out. It quite unreasonable to expect that those people are suddenly going to have the blinders fall from their eyes. They won't -- not for $2000 checks (nor any other rational argument presented.) So, yeah -- you have great talking points -- for those that are listening.
