Keep the optimistic view Bluestarone… it’s never bad to be optimistic.

Sadly, the realistic view is that the GOP is a lost cause and Senator “I’m really a Republican”Manchin and Senator “Look at me” Cinema have not only singlehandedly destroyed what could have been the most important advances to help this nation since the New Deal making it a skeleton of what it could and should be, but they may even still vote No.

It’s a very depressing and disgusting state of affairs our country finds itself and I don’t know how this is going to end but I am not as optimistic as you.
