The part that always gets me is that half the time the GOP is arguing that the stuff the Dems are doing is zomg crazy terrible, and then the other half the time their argument is, âwell weâre just doing what the Dems didâ.
This package is non-water-soluble and it will not be dissolved!

Surprised Republicans didnât go with like a 1.2 trillion dollar package or w/e just to try and stretch this out as long as possible and get the dems to negotiate in bad faith.
To get to 10 senators they had to include complete shitheads like Bill Cassidy and the Moran guy. Those assholes probably worry about getting primaried by QAnon leaders and therefore capped it at the laughable 600b.
Qanon leaders would also attack them for not supporting it.
Given the popularity of the items, Iâd rather be in the position of having them attacking me for supporting the stimulus. Thatâs what Trump would do too.

Itâs popular with Trumpers, the Chamber of Commerce supports it, who is talking the Rs into this idiocy? The Koch brother and his wealthy friends?

Cassidy isnât as vulnerable to getting primaried. Louisiana does runoffs with everyone getting run in the main.
However, Cassidy still is a shit stain, thatâs all he needs.
The reason to run against MTG is to turn out the Dem base, not depress R base. Dems turned out in 2018 and 2020 because of how much they hated Trump. Without Trump on the ballot, they need a way to replicate that enthusiasm. Making MTG the face of the Râs reminds everyone of how bad it was under Trump and that it could be even worse under the next R President (even if they saying the right things).
I do think it also has a small effect on independents.

This is a big fucking deal. God those GA seats were so crucial.

No, Republicans are about to get their McCain Obamacare clip with Feinstein muttering âWhatâs going on hereâ while slapping the youngest staffer she can find.

Call me crazy, but they could just do popular things that help a lot of people?

Remind me again how many Democrats voted for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
He got 11 million more votes than he did in 2016.

This seems like a bad idea:
Plenty of moderate house Ds in safe D districts to go after.

This is fun to play around with. I found a Trump +90 county in lol Ohio.
What the hell is going on in Brooklyn? Is there a random cluster of heavily GOP Jewish people or something?
