Help me understand why some people think a change at president would be good if Dems don’t do too well in the midterms? Other than change for change’s sake, what would running a different candidate do? Do we think Republicans would be less obstructive? Cuz I was alive during the Obama admin and this game plan that Republicans are executing is the exact same used against Obama. Obstruct everything in the Senate, create a traffic jam of killed filibustered legislation, and the president gets all the blame. Senate Republicans would literally filibuster to death a cure for cancer if they thought it would hurt the Democratic president electorally.I am hopeful where the Senate is concerned. The results of the midterms will have an effect on the question, for sure. We’ll see…
Manchinema get a lot of blame, deservedly so. But why isn’t there ANY literally ANY blame for Senate Republicans who have made it their calling card to obstruct any and all Democratic legislation much to the detriment of the country? Biden isn’t a dictator, he’s limited by what can be passed by the Senate. Which disproportionately benefits Repubs since their top priorities. tax cuts and judges, can be passed through a majority only vote, not the 60 vote threshold.
