Yes, they very clearly control the Senate with Manchin/Sinema blocking them at every turn.
Maybe don't push such radical legislation that you can't even get your own party united behind it.

Manchin, (D) West Virginia
Sinema, (D) Arizona

Sounds like the progressives have run too far to the left for some in their own party. How is that the Republicans fault?

With Democrats controlling all branches of government it is clearly all the Republicans fault...

Democrats couldn't even come together to pass a bill through reconciliation last year. Voters don't believe what you are saying, and it's going to show in November elections.

Control what control? They cant pass anything due to most if not all republicans voting no. Are you blind or stupid?

The people who think America can't be fixed aren't going to vote.

Bad Republicans want to hurt others and will be eager to do so.
Good Republicans are mislead into believing it's their patriotic duty or religious responsibility to vote conservative.

It's the left that needs motivating. It kinda goes back to that Gandhi quote about evil prevailing when good people do nothing.

Republicans are good at messaging and blaming and their dumb dumb voters believe everything they say. All the world's problems are Joe Biden's fault.

Dems are spineless and don't push back on this. And also they don't vote during the mid-terms.

Incumbents tend to get the blame when things go bad, even if it's not their fault, even if it's directly the opposition's fault. Also, some people realise that no one should remain in power for too long, no matter which side.

What's your stands on RvW?

It was a bad decision by an activist judiciary.

Personally, I'd be for a ban on abortion after the first trimester with exceptions after that time for proven rape, incest, or physical medical emergency to protect the life of the mother. I recognize that some debilitating ailments are found in the fetus deeper into pregnancy and understand there needs to be options when those things are found.

I don't like the idea of complete ban on abortion. There are some in the GOP, particularly the bible belt, who are all for it but it just isn't reasonable - as much as I dislike abortion personally.

What concerns me and frankly probably most people you poll are that some think there should be no limits on abortion.

If someone wants to call me 'evil' over my prolife views, I'd ask what that name caller would label someone who believes a full-term (37 week, for those who don't have kids) unborn baby should be allowed to be aborted when there is no medical reason to do so.

Is the creation of human life a women's only matter? Biologically speaking, and morally IMO speaking, no.

Should women be able to make this decision ultimately (within the confines of the law)? Yes.

I happen to argue what the confines of the law should be, which I detailed in my last post.

Most of the moderates and/or independents in question likely aren't watching the news at all, but they are seeing the price at the pump increase, the price of groceries increase, etc, and many of those people, even if they symapthize with the left on a lot of positions are literally going to vote with their wallet.
This is it. The average American is not watching Fox, CNN, or anybody else they are just going about their daily lives and seeing the price of literally everything going up. This will likely lead to them incorrectly placing the blame on the current administration and thus voting for the opposite party=Republicans winning

Everyone knows he shut down the Keystone XL project. It's obviously debatable how much extra crude would of been refined and how it would of affected supply. To your average voter though, it's easy to make the correlation that Trump=cheap gas/Biden=$5 gal gas.

Biden needs to work on his messaging. His administration says things like it's all Russia's fault but ignores that fact that gas prices and inflation have been going up steadily before the war.

it's hard to craft the message "hey stupid, gas prices returned to pre-covid levels because people dying of covid returned to pre-covid levels, it's not my fault you have the memory of a fucking goldfish" and have it resonate well

but that would be the message

https://ycharts.com/indicators/us_gas_price

look at the 5 year instead of the 1-year

there's a very slight uptick that you can say was inflationary over the last year but ycharts even provides the handy reference point of "major oil producer starts massive war, dramatically reduces oil supply due to nations with a conscience embargoing their fascist asses" with that white line

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


fwiw i read it. it is largely correct, though it leaves out the context that we also see, about every 10-15 years, a major victory but exclusively by republicans--generally to cut taxes.

when democrats generate the historic levels of turnout necessary to actually control the government, there's magically always a ben nelson or a krysten sinema that was paid just enough blood money to fuck over the rest of their party

somehow in this most recent session we saw democrats pass a massive infrastructure bill--which was not a democratic party priority or an issue they ran on whatsoever--but not their own agenda

People need to get out of this thinking that messaging even matters to a significant degree. It doesn't. The people not already on Biden's side will never hear a word from him because they're already in their own opposing bubble where they only hear sound bites of him stuttering or whatever. The rest are deadbeats who don't even vote.

Or are we only comfortable throwing other people under the bus to fix the economy? Since the conservative argument seems to be that you can fix the economy or "be woke" but not both.
