I mean, legit discussions do happen, but also the point of discussions is not to permanently resolve arguments and walk away with a compromise every time. That's stupid.

I think our republic is fortunate that President Trump lacked the courage to do what he wanted to do.

People keep bringing up COVID restrictions like they have been a huge thing recently...Its been at about 6 months of basically nothing closed and just mask/vaccine mandates. Not sure anywhere in the country even has capacity restrictions anymore. Nothing particularly preventing people from doing things. Its this weird narrative that has carried over when life has been relatively close to normal for awhile.

I mean, I'm going to be wearing a mask in public for the foreseeable future, whether the building I'm in requires me to or not. I personally don't consider that to be torture.

But I've received all 3 shots so I'm not going to avoid going anywhere at this point either. Certainly if I'm not feeling well I'll stay home, but if I'm feeling okay I'll go anywhere that's open at this point.

Yeah I don't mind masks. They are whatever, but even if the vaccine mutated and became 5 times deadlier I don't know if I would stop going out.

My dad became borderline diabetic a few years ago and he mentioned to me that if his options were pricking his finger every day or death he would choose death, and I think I get a bit of that world view from him.

Declassifying/legalizing marijuana wouldn't really swing public opinion much. It's somewhat popular and probably wouldn't hurt Democrats, but it's not a high priority issue for most people. Doesn't help that the people most opposed to it (old white people) are also the people to most likely actually vote in midterm years.

Really, the lack of a big unifying issue is the big problem with expecting Democrats to become more popular by doing stuff. The stuff that pretty much every Dem voter wants (infrastructure, voting rights) is kind of boring, while none of the stuff that gets voters excited is universally appealing to the whole base.

Yeah, that was my thought exactly!

...followed immediately by "but there's no way they actually get it done." This should actually be the highest priority and should've been something they were working on immediately, but I also already know this will end in catastrophic failure. Then again Manchin and Sinema basically are tanking BBB because ??? so that is hopeless to. Everything is terrible, is the point I'm trying to get across here.

They will lose regardless so deserve has nothing to do with it. We deserve this as a voting populace. We have 50 democratic senators, two of which aren't even really democrats, and people will think the solution to this is to elect more people that supported an attempted insurrection less than a year ago.

They should be getting this stuff done not because it will help them (it won't at all) but because it is the right thing to do. Basically whatever Biden can do by executive order, he should be doing.

Reporting is all over the place on Manchin's issues.

There was initial talk it was the Child Tax Credit that was the sticking point and that he wanted it gone, but apparently he refuted that to a reporter who asked him about it in a weirdly aggressive way (calling the reporter "bullshit"). Saw something I'm more inclined to believe that it's some climate subsidies that he wants reduced because from Day 1 I always knew climate would be the biggest problem with Manchin given he's basically a shill for fossil fuels. Then like a week or two ago the problem was inflation.

Sinema who the hell even knows.

That said, for voting rights you'd need a carve out of the filibuster and while I've also seen a story that he's part of a moderate group discussing just that I find that to be the least believable thing of all.

Went to the YT comment section for a story on the investigation of the Jan. 6 insurrection, people were saying it was a peaceful protest not an insurrection and didn't understand what was wrong.

What, is a protest peaceful solely because it doesn't involve torches or Molotovs? Those guys can't seem to get over all the riots from last year, looks like they HATE BLM. I don't understand why Americans of all people have so little respect for their country's own government. You'd expect this of a backwater third-world country which is like the opposite of what America actually is.

To be fair, Hillary was never prosecuted. As chief law enforcement officer* of the United States, Trump could have ordered that she be prosecuted. He never did so.

*I don't know the last time off the top of my head a US President or King of England ignored the advice of his attorney general and personally ordered a prosecution, but he does have that power.
