Democrats hit crucial stretch as filibuster fight looms

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Democrats are hitting a crucial stretch as much of President Biden's agenda remains stuck in congressional limbo.

Democrats have touted their progress under Biden's first 100 days, where they passed a sweeping $1.9 trillion coronavirus bill, filled out the administration and inched the country back toward normalcy after a yearlong pandemic.

But it's the next 100 days that they view as key for big priorities that will test the filibuster, and what if anything can get GOP support, as Democrats try to juggle trying to satisfy a base with a long wish list with razor-thin margins heading into 2022.

"I'm trying, in this month and next month, to do two things. No. 1, put some bipartisan things on the floor that show the Republicans but my colleagues as well that we mean we're serious that we want to do bipartisanship when we can," Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said during a recent interview with "The Ezra Klein Show."

1. The problem with trying to meet Republicans is that you can never go quite far enough.

It is time to use our razor thin margin to shove stuff down their damn throats.

2. Yes. Fuck em.

Thier Ayn randian cult needs to be cut down and exposed for the psychopathy it is.

Biden has to expose them for the abusive shit they want to do to this country.

And he has to do it as presidential announcements and force all tv networks to cover it .even fox and newsmax and oan.

3. How do we sway our two reluctant senators?

I've asked over & over if there isn't some pork project Schumer can offer them. Isn't that what Congress does? "You vote for this thing with us & we'll see your state gets X." It's just so fucking frustrating that that one or two people can stall progress.

4. What fight? Manchin surrendered already.
