Had Trump not been president:

5. Yes. Imagine where the nation and world would be if...

there had been no republican presidents, W Bush and trump being the most recent and worst of the lot. No Iraq War and the lives lost, no covid spread and millions lost. Infrastructure revamping would've started under Pres. O and still be going strong now with millions having had at least a decade of good jobs from the massive construction projects nationwide. Prosperity would reign as it did in the 50s, shared by everyone and not just the white population. God! It's frustrating to think about.

The republican party is a danger to the world, and we have Manchin and Sinema playing footsie with them. I so agree that the EC has to go, and so does the filibuster which is giving Manchin his 15 minutes of undeserved fame/attention.

Since McTurtle has annnounced that he, again as during O's time, will obstruct the Dem agenda to no end, leaving no possibility of bi-partisanship, there is no standing in Manchin and Sinema's positions anymore. The Dems really need to go after them hard, publicly ridiculing them even for their Quixotic kissing up to the GOP.
