I don’t know of any credible media or political outlet that predicted a Democratic sweep especially with the voters concerns regarding inflation and the economy. The most repeated topic was whether the Democratic party could avoid getting trounced because traditionally it’s the party that holds the White House that…

Half hearted? You do realize that whenever a President issues an executive order that he is stretching the very limits of his presidential authority. You sound like the entitled jerk the GOP says you are.

Who cares? Democrats have bigger problems than this. Mitch McConnell and the House GOP leader both hate Trump but still use him to get access to his base. Democrats need to be focused on preventing the midterm mauling everyone is predicting rather than this middle school who likes or dislikes someone.

He doesn’t want the white kids to have to learn about slavery, segregation, or Jim Crow but meanwhile the white parents are teaching them that blacks are lazy, unintelligent , and looking for handouts because of course we have always had the same opportunities as them.

I don’t understand why its so hard for people to understand that the Democrats “Majority” is so thin that basically there is no room for error without almost uniform conformity in Congress to pass legislation and like you just stated there is no way to make the members vote a certain way. The only practical way is to…

The only thing the Democrats can realistically do is focus on elections and try to gain enough seats that two idiots cannot roadblock the will of the party. All this public anger at Democratic leaders as if they have some mechanism to force these two to vote for this bill shows a lack of understanding regarding the…

God forbid if Obama placed this multi-million dollar project in a wealthy predominately white neighborhood! The same people screaming gentrification would be hollering foul that the money wasn’t spent in the area they are griping about now. I’m just glad he decided to just do the right thing and let the complainers…

It’s a presidential library not a government program. There are no federal tax dollars being spent on this project; It is a total private enterprise.

The largest Infrastructure deal in generations has just been signed into law but judging by the Roots response it has no impact on Black people. It seems based on their nonresponse we don’t drive cars or use public transportation and since none of us work in the construction or transportation industries how can it be…

Progressives live in their own world just like the right wingers; besides Abrams none of the people have any accomplishments on their record. AOC tried to block one of the largest bipartisan bills in years because the progressives Social Spending plan has only a 50/50 chance of passing.

Abrams is the only progressive that I would consider voting for because I think she would actually be a good legislator. The second part of your comment shows why she wouldn’t win. Progressives are their own worst enemies. There are millions of voters who are not conservative or liberal that would have to be convinced.

I think this is what she’s trying to accomplish. I don’t like her but I still think she is smarter than her comments suggest. I think she is trying to get a new gig and a buyout all at the same time.

The Democratic Leadership even if they won’t break ties with this guy because he might be useful in some way down the line can’t sit back and watch him strut around like a republican peacock as he single handily stalls the Democratic Agenda. They have to at least call him out in public or kick him off a committee;…

Maybe if he had not taken that trip to Florida taking selfies with skanks while out on bond he might have some money left to get adequate representation?

Anyone who stayed awake in American History knows that Rand Paul is trying to sell us some BS version of the truth. The Southern Democrats ran like crying little bitches to the Republican Party after the passage of the Civil Rights Act and de-segregation and have kept their whiny asses in that party ever since.

I agree in general that a lot of Movies and Television glorify cops but I’m don’t understand your references to “The Wire” “Law and Order” and Denzel in “Training Day”. I don’t think anyone who view them came away thinking that Cops can do no wrong. When I went to see Training Day for the first time almost everyone in…

Just look at the pending stimulus bill; The GOP who had no problem with large corporations and wealthy individuals benefiting from the last stimulus manage to cut unemployment benefits for the unemployed by half.

The only consolation with the Senate is the GOP has no way of pushing their agenda also and they have some really f@@k up things they would like to do.

Fuck you! He was already a lying incompetent fraud who should not be president before this bullshit article and if this is what takes to make you see it you are as stupid as him

My reaction to this is who cares?! While we obsess on stuff like this Congress failed to reach an agreement on a new stimulus plan . The republican plan was trillions of dollars less than what the Democrats proposed weeks ago and it slashed that $600 unemployment benefit that horrified them in half. We are too easily…
