I would like to hear your ideas on why my REPUBLICAN Senators oppose Chained CPI.

34. No, I'm not saying that about the Progressive budget. I'm asking people what price they're

willing to pay to stop CPI.

That and I'm trying to point out that all of the anti-Democratic parades only make it more likely that whatever a person's main issues are, the more people yell about their intentions to abandon Democratic positions, i.e. not vote, the much more likely that they are defeating themselves on their own issues. Even though we have to use them to make some sense of this, let's just screw party labels and understand that, with all of the grandstanding, WHOEVER opposes what I/you/we need knows all they have to do is wait - AND - looking at the issue list above, that's multiple factions right now. Telling people what you will do and what you won't do, ESPECIALLY advertising how you will vote or not vote guarantees DEFEAT ON ONE'S OWN ISSUES. We're throwing away what little power we have left here, by telling all of those ANTI-s I listed above that all they have to do is wait and the whole thing will fall in their laps.
