First Pubski of the new year. Happy the Dems took the Senate seats in Georgia.
Good stuff! Happy new year pubski! Tomorrow Trump's ilk are convening in DC. The rally begins at 11am. He's already suggesting that "Antifa," will cause problems. He WANTS there to be violence. The only way he can hold on to power is through upheaval and civil war. He will do anything to stay in power and claim victory. He doesn't give a shit about the country, just himself. He's a wounded animal, backed in to a corner. It's worth being concerned about what could happen in the next two weeks.
Now the dems need to get as much as possible and more done in the next two years and keep the democratic bases they gained in places like Georgia galvanized. No small task considering the monumental arrogance of the national DNC.
The Democrats have two years to jam through everything they can. Make M4A happen, work on law enforcement changes, finalize LGBTQ+ equality, increase taxes on the wealthy, raise minimum wage, Green New Deal, and get us the hell out of the Middle East. But it won't happen, they will try to "include" everyone and accomplish nothing. I really wish the radical left could take control like the radical right has.
The best part? The House has passed HUNDREDS of bills that are just waiting in the queue for a vote in the Senate. Bills don't have an expiration date. So - if they wanted to - the Senate could have a flurry of votes, pulling everything out of storage and passing a ridiculous number of progressive policies into law. McConnell's tactic of not allowing these things to come to vote could result in the largest progressive sweep in America's history. If the Dems have the balls to do such a thing. Which they don't. But it's fun to speculate, isn't it?
