Pass the Civil Rights Act?? The Democrats did everything they could to stop it!!! Typical liberal revisionism.

Yeah, nice optimistic article. But....

Things are different now. A decade ago (never mind farther back) you could count on your opponents to argue their case, often passionately. Now you can count on your opponent to douse you in acid and gasoline and light you on fire, while deleting your identity and causing you to lose your job because you dared to disagree with them.

These are different times. Few are willing and able to oppose them, because of the terrible cost and the vanishing chance of prevailing.

But nevertheless, an optimistic article was rather refreshing.

Only one problem! The Democrats will vote to end the filibuster. Then they only need a simple majority.. They won’t have to worry about losing the Senate they will vote to make Washington DC a State and Puerto Rico a state which will give them 4 vote majority...Also because the Republicans didn’t challenge the voter fraud. The Democrats know they can get away with it now and now Republican will win in any battleground state again!!

If this it the “Ted Rall” who is the cartoonist, this explains his psychopathic Marxist views. I’ve seen a lot of cartoonists on the Left who were actually funny and pungent, but this guy makes Charles Manson, Ramirez, Dillinger, Lacy and Oswald seem like “normal” people.

He got so vitriolic and unstable in his cartoons and words that even the leftist Wash. Post eventually dropped him, possibly for Toles who is also a hardcore leftist by still a few gray cells short of being totally hate-filled and insane.

Al Capp! Where are you? We need another good cartoonist on America’s side.

[Four months isn’t that long. Yet Reagan used less time than that to crush his opponents and pass tax cuts for the rich that shredded the New Deal social safety net. “The president used the bully pulpit to overcome opposition among House Democrats, building support for the cuts,” recalled Princeton historian Julian Zelizer. “He gave a speech on television, urging citizens to write their legislators and tell them to support the cuts. House Democrats, now the sole base for the party in Washington, joined in once they saw the public pressure.” LBJ took less time to “set Congress on the path to passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as well as a tax cut and Medicare,” wrote presidential scholar Jeffrey Tulis.]


Ted Rall can’t count. Reagan won 44 states. LBJ won 44. FDR won 42 out of 48. Obama won - wait for it:

28.

That’s why, for Obama, the bully pulpit was useless. At least 10% of the House and Senate majorities he won leaned GOP. And the GOP seats were, with a handful of exceptions, solid red. Obama’s speeches made GOP areas angrier - they turned out in force during his first mid-term election, and put an end to his majorities.

dont get mad at me for saying it becouse this is just me pondering and it might be the worst idea I ever had. I think I know how to permanently destroy the cohesion of the demacrat party. support some bad ideas that individuals like AOC have that the establishment democrat’s dont want... let one or two bills pass that force Biden to veto the bill

It’s going to amusing to watch the reaction when student loan forgiveness and the $2000 bribe fade into the mists of Democrat amnesia.

I don’t think Biden and the Democrats are going to be around much longer.
