1. Amen.

2. Progress is obstructed not by donors, but by 2 senators

Two senators wholly lacking in integrity.

3. The two Senators are joined by 50 on the other side that obstruct EVERYTHING.

For the same reason the two Senators on our side do it. Their owners FORBID it.

4. If the two had any integrity, they could not be "owned" by donors

The burden of responsibility lies with the willingly owned, not the owners,

6. The greedy rich bribe corrupt politicians who dupe willfully ignorant voters.

There is more than enough blame to go around.

7. Well, the repub part of Congress is contributing a lot to our lack of progress...

The media is complicit in that they like to blame the generic "congress" term when the obstructionism is usually repubs.

8. republicans are anti democratic and anti progress

The elected ones, their voters and sympathizers.

9. We would have progressed had we won in 16...both Manchin and

Sinema are on record supporting Hillary and have voted with the Democrats in all-important votes. For example without Manchin's vote, the ACA would have gone down during the Trump years. We need both Manchin and Sinema for a Democratic majority in the Senate.

Most recently, a number of members of Congress voted no on Biden's bi-partisan infrastructure bill. There was no reason for this that I can fathom.

10. After watching a movie about how cut throat

Lobbying is, it's amazing we pass anything on our side when they have the most money.
