Infrastructure Bill Must be a BFD, since folks are calling for Garland's sacking
View profile
and claiming that the BBB has no possible chance to pass now. Anything to deflect from a major victory with the Infrastructure vote.

If anything good happens, we are sure to hear about all of the bad things that will inevitably happen. Some cannot simply celebrate a victory. They have to attempt to minimize it and point out all of the things that have yet to be done.

It's frustrating...to say the least.

Seems so.

Broad brushed and vague charges like these targeting unspecified "folks" just serves to insult, intentionally or not, and divide fellow Democrats here on DU, a forum that is supposed to be a safe space for ALL Democrats.

If people voice concerns that anyone disagrees with, the appropriate thing would be to respond directly to those posts, not to start vague and broad brushed threads like this.

Just my extremely reasonable and considerate opinion. lol
