where all of the sane people organize with Democrats and Trump's voters stand alone.

No sadness with me, just the opposite. Not only did this House make their case, but the "Republican" Party brand is now under hostile takeover. Another showcase of Democratic talent....proud to associate with these people.

One that started when the south lost the civil war.

They need to be made powerless and making DCand Puerto Rico states, removing the filibuster and making the vote all mail in ballots after DeJoy and the repubs on the board of the post office are removed and poison pill republicans put on them is removed.

This would be true
kind of Hardballl that would really help Bidens agenda happen. I hope he does these things asap.

These are core principles of American democracy. But that's okay, they've rejected democracy too. They've come to worship the flag rather than what the flag represents. Just like most of them claim the title "Christian" while rejecting most of the teachings of Christ. It's perversity; it's tribalism; it's that horrible episode of Star Trek with the Yangs and the Kohms.
