Losing the right to control your body when a Democratic president is in charge. It looks like the Dems helped it along to voters who aren't paying attention.

President Biden needs to do something drastic. Something that will make the GOPers scream. Something GOPers would hate forever. If he doesn't, the Dems will lose the next election cycle.

It's got to be really big to counteract this appearance.this bad optics. It's got to be huge.

and beyond.

The Senate is controlled by the less than 1% and has been dysfunctional for decades, nothing but a logjam of desperately needed polices on a host of critical issues which have to be cleared or the river will flood the town.

always say the Dems do not have enough votes, but in this case something needs to be now, not in November.

We are at the cliffs edge again.

Manchin and Sinema. We need more Democratic senators elected to make up for these two votes. I'm just so tired of the democratic party being blamed for "not getting anything done after we all got out and elected them to a majority". It makes the whole party look bad that we can't really PASS VOTES, as if we were, indeed, the majority.

also tired of jerky people blaming President Biden all the time. It's disgusting. I worry about his health too.

Start with executive orders.
