Mitch McConnell says that his goal is to make sure that Joe Biden doesn't accomplish major legislation like the infrastructure bill so that Republicans can take back the Senate.
I believe him when he says that and so should you.

(15,953 posts)McConnell doesn't have goals like that. His "goal" is to stop other people from accomplishing things.
Oh, sure, there are things he wants to accomplish when there's a Republican president (like confirming worthless, unqualified judges). But when a Democrat is in the White House, his only goal is to to block everything the Democrat wants to accomplish. It doesn't matter what it is, or what the benefits would be for the American people. DEM potus wants it? Must block it! That was his m.o. with Obama, and it's the same with Biden.
Gods help us all if he is EVER be allowed to be majority leader ever again. He's a pain in the ass right now, but that is NOTHING compared to what will happen if he's ever in control again.

(16,908 posts)@sshole is siding with Moscow Mitch and his only goal is to insure Biden accomplishes nothing in his term.
And Joe Q Manchin talks about wanting to work with & get along with reQublicans, and we all know that
will never happen because working across the aisle isn't in their DNA.

(9,903 posts)... hopefully, nobody is trying to negotiate with him. Also, the Congress members voting with the Trump Terrorists to dis-elect Biden/Harris. Dems, stay away from them! They could be dangerous, in fact; we should say, "We don't negotiate with terrorist sympathizers."

Bet your ass it's got 8 or 9 gop senators that want it passed otherwise.

(11,693 posts)Democrats for our flaws, can and should run on what we do and want to do for people through our policies. That is an honest message. Republicans do not do shit for anyone but the wealthiest people. They cannot run on what they do for people so they run on how government is broken and they should be in power because Democrats like government and government doesn't work. They break it, then run against it.
I don't know how Democrats can overcome this right now, especially with those fools Manchin and Synema working with Republicans to keep government broken.
