35. Do you understand that legislation passed by the House also

requires the Senate to pass it too? It may start in the House for the purse but it still requires the Senate to pass it.

Instead of posting in your original post the suggestion Democrats will get the blame because they control the House without even referencing that the Senate is controlled by Republicans. And they are currently sitting on 400 bills waiting for action.

It doesn't help to spin it negatively when the blame should be focused on the 2016 Republican controlled and Republican controlled Senate back in 2016 and currently in 2020. When this is talked in public you want to educate the people and where the blame should go. Not give them other thoughts or excuses.

And as long as you keep adding that the Democrats are in control of the House will be the only thing they will hear.
