My thought also. Nothing like giving up before a battle starts. Blue_true Mar 2021 #70

Manchin and Sinema caused this but I wouldn't say it will cost... brush Mar 2021 #4

No. Senator Sanders caused this actually. He never ever had the votes Budi Mar 2021 #28

Manchin and Sinema have signaled all along they wouldn't support... brush Mar 2021 #37

Well, with those 2 being a known & definate NO, Sanders NEVER had the votes. Budi Mar 2021 #43

I missed the circumstances of this vote. It wasn't for the main relief... brush Mar 2021 #44

Senator Sanders put forward an amendment to the bill... Spazito Mar 2021 #78

Thanks. That was never going to happen witn Manchin and Sinema. brush Mar 2021 #82

Yep mcar Mar 2021 #85

And it probably won't cost them their seats. treestar Mar 2021 #55

If we don't get the CV19 relief enacted quickly, it will be worse. The amendment voted down today Hoyt Mar 2021 #7

Of course dems will and they will deserve it ... hopefully they will do whatever they can to get hr1 Fullduplexxx Mar 2021 #8

It is not political moderation they worship. Irish_Dem Mar 2021 #9

Ridiculous. NurseJackie Mar 2021 #10

I see the Democrats gaining two more Senate seats in less than 6 months. People should underthematrix Mar 2021 #11

I'm all for this! Claire Oh Nette Mar 2021 #25

It seems to me some GOP senators are under criminal investigation underthematrix Mar 2021 #30

I wondered about Mitch... Claire Oh Nette Mar 2021 #33

Do you have some insider info that we don't know about? We do have a chance in 2022 liskddksil Mar 2021 #34

I do not have any insider information. They just got rid of Trump's boy in the DC US Atty's office underthematrix Mar 2021 #39

Unfortunately I don't think we're finding a magical 51st Senator anytime soon. nt liskddksil Mar 2021 #40

I think we'll get at least two senate seats. underthematrix Mar 2021 #45

Maybe they have something else up their sleeves. Mike 03 Mar 2021 #12

Don't look now, but we're losing more than that right this minute. msfiddlestix Mar 2021 #13

It's a miracle we have it treestar Mar 2021 #52

I read a CNN headline posted earlier today that Dems could pick up 5 seats in 2022 msfiddlestix Mar 2021 #60

My thinking today is that 2022 isn't lost unless HR 1 goes down and Mike 03 Mar 2021 #14

Utter BS. We won't lose because we didn't get Phoenix61 Mar 2021 #15

Thank you PatSeg Mar 2021 #29

Truth hurts. WhiskeyGrinder Mar 2021 #18

Only about 2% of all workers receive minimum wage or less frazzled Mar 2021 #19

Based off of the Federal minimum wage. Doesn't account for state minmum wages... Lancero Mar 2021 #23

What difference does it make if it is a State or Federal min wage? MichMan Mar 2021 #48

They're citing the 2% number and claiming that increasing the minimum wage - or failing to do so... Lancero Mar 2021 #57

It should be on the state level so COL variances can be factored in MichMan Mar 2021 #58

So, you'd be in favor on doing away with the minimum wage entirely? Lancero Mar 2021 #61

No need to go backwards, but better than wringing our hands over it MichMan Mar 2021 #62

We're not discussing the merits of the minimum wage hike here frazzled Mar 2021 #69

Because it doesn't affect many people, right? Lancero Mar 2021 #88

I never said it wouldn't hurt frazzled Mar 2021 #89

Fuck these sorry SOB's - welcome to America, home of self-righteous narcissists. walkingman Mar 2021 #35

Even worse will be the failure to pass the Voting Rights Act in the Senate Celerity Mar 2021 #36

The Voter Rights Act is going to require 60 votes. Blue_true Mar 2021 #74

I was speaking about the potential failure to enact a solution via rule change that would eliminate Celerity Mar 2021 #75

I like the ideas that you listed. Blue_true Mar 2021 #77

Why they sure aren't getting it from the Republicans? nt doc03 Mar 2021 #38

Those objecting did so because of the amount - or it's attachment to this bill Lucinda Mar 2021 #41

Why? They voted as their constituents wanted treestar Mar 2021 #49

They could sneak it in bdamomma Mar 2021 #50
