Also, I absolutely love Inviso telling us "Just vote for democrats every time and be happy" when this bill has gone through so much shit because democrats won't vote with each other. Literally demanding conformity and no questions with voting when the elected people refuse to do anything but compromise to two fuckwits who keep holding it up. Yeah, we can keep blaming Republicans, but there's no reason any Democrat should be happy with what's on display here. With the majority of the Senate and they STILL can't do anything but disappoint people. The bill has gone through so much shit because we have a 50-50 tie in the Senate as a result of Democratic voters being utter shit at voting for Democrats. Per Suprak's post on the last page, fuck Maine, who voted Joe Biden over Trump by 75,000 votes, yet voted Susan Collins by a similar margin over her Democratic opponent. Understand that after the 2020 elections, the message being sent to Washington by the voters is this: Joe Biden beat Trump to take the presidency by about 20,000-44,000 votes that actually mattered, regardless of the massive popular vote win. Dems lost seats in the House and hold a four seat majority at the moment, leaving very little wiggle room for them. Dems failed to pick up several key seats in the Senate that would give them a majority, and managed to eke out a tie in the Senate by a narrow margin in two runoff elections. The message I'm getting from the electorate after 2020 is this: "We really hate Trump, but just BARELY in the states where it matters, and ultimately, we'd much rather have Republicans in power than Democrats, but Trump was so bad that we couldn't reclaim the House, and two months of his bitching and whining likely depressed Republican turnout enough for the Dems to take two Senate seats in Georgia." It fucking sucks that the Dems are doing what they're doing with regards to this COVID-19 relief bill. I desperately wish they'd just abolish the filibuster and push through as much of their agenda as possible. But that's not the message that the voters sent them in 2020. When I say support Dems no matter what, yeah, you're gonna have shit like this. But it's not meant to be a "this election went great and now everything is perfect" solution. It's a long fucking process and we have a lot of work to do to dismantle the death grip the GOP has on American politics. Dems need to win again and again and again to establish a pattern and fucking help the Dems grow their balls back. You can trace a direct line to just how fucking empowered the GOP is today (including the loss of at least one Supreme Court seat) to the Dems pushing for expanded healthcare back in 2009-2010. The Dems got fucking ROUTED after that and have yet to regain their footing since, because the voters keep giving power to the GOP as they get worse and worse on policy, and the Dems aren't getting a message of "support progressive policy!" when voters aren't voting in a way that tells them that. --- Touch fuzzy.
