The R party has gone full Nazi. Why would ANYONE bash Dems who ARE doing the right things??

First, Dems overwhelmingly ARE doing what the country wants, and TRYING HARD to do MORE! Too many folks don't know how it works. There is an evenly divided Senate with a filibuster rule. How much can they get done with the Nazi R's blocking almost everything???

Next, there are just TWO Dems in the Senate who are holding some things up. TWO. Just TWO. Not the whole Dem Party.

Biden and the other Dems don't have a magic wand. And those criticizing Biden and Dems for "not doing enough" need to get that clear. They are TRYING, and TRYING hard. But there is a SYSTEM. And again, they do not have a magic legislation wand.

No one on this planet should be bashing Dems when the R's have gone full on facist Nazi.

Want more done? ELECT MORE DEMS! DO NOT BASH THEM WHEN THERE IS A 50-50 SENATE WITH A FILIBUSTER RULE AND 60 VOTES NEEDED TO MOVE MOST LEGISLATION!

...many people, not all, have one hot button issue. It may be guns and the Second Amendment, or anti-abortion or lower taxes/less government or whatever...and on that ONE issue, it will drive them to vote Repug...no matter what else. Is that logical, in the country's or even their family's best long range interest...maybe not. But they will do that. Sadly, Trump proved that and Trumpists continue to prove that. And in this line of reasoning, I fear deeply for Dem prospects in the mid terms and the country in the longer term.

how he has held up key legislation you couldn't be more wrong, nor is there anything in the OP saying
that I forgive Joe Manchin (or Sinema). I am not happy at all with some of their actions. Not at all.
At the same time, I don't want them to become Republicans. Then we lose control of the Senate.Is that what people want?
Oh gee, there's a good plan. Lose ALL power. No!
Manchin has said he will support a number of the things in BBB. Like it or not, we have a 50-50 Senate. Period, Exclamation point.
It stinks, but that is life. That is the reality. So sit down with him, put together a package he and Sinema will support, and get at least THAT done and have a WIN.

My point is that the overwhelming majority of Dems at every level are doing the right things, and in the face of the Nazi R Party and a 50-50 Senate with a filibuster it is INSANE to be bashing Dems and blaming Dems for "not doing enough for working people" or any of that foolishness. It is SHAMEFUL.
