Is a supersized agenda the key to Democrats’ 2022 success — or their demise?

The progressive wing of the party has a long and varied list of things they want to get done with their newfound congressional majorities — tackling areas ranging from climate change to immigration to health care to voting rights to even adding states, among many others. Scrapping or otherwise reforming the Senate filibuster would likely be necessary to get many of these done. And some argue that if Democrats want to keep their narrow congressional majorities in 2022, they need to get as much of this done as possible.

Excellent(evenhanded) article by a left wing rag. Those of you that are quitting the GOP need to use your heads. This shows us the way.

“If going supersized was the thing that voters wanted, we would be entering year five of the Sanders presidency,”

Makes sense

Yeah! We need more Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham! That will show them.

There won’t be any fraud or media cover, so the people will be good and ready in 2022 to let Mitch take the reigns.

I don’t understand. Are we supposed to vote? In an election? How is that supposed to work?

“There’s also a negative relationship between the amount of liberal policy that passes and the performance in the next election.”

Think Obamacare, and the attempt at Hillarycare

“sometimes it’s a risk that’s not worth taking because the policy gains aren’t worth the political blowback.”

Biden’s aware of this.

They can’t have success unless they destroy America and crush us, so...

What turns you all off are the statements that come out of the mouths of Linda and the turtle/Thune. They still vote with us most of the time. It’s still a game we can win. There’s redistricting and cleaning up the voter rolls if the GOP state legislatures get a fire lit under their asses. Go to work my friends.

I would be more convict that their overbearing and tyrannical ways would hurt them, if I knew we had an election system that couldn’t be hacked and voted stolen.

Stay in the GOP and vote out all RINOs who are coming up for re-election in the 2022 primaries. Trump is going to be campaigning for patriots to challenge these traitors. The GOP does not belong to the RINOs. The vast majority of GOP voters support Trump, but at present, there are way too many RINO office holders.

The Steal of the Century could not have happened without the cooperation of RINO-controlled state legislatures, governors, secretaries of state, and judges who would not even look at the evidence (right up to SCOTUS). Never forget the RINO 2020 treachery.

2022 is when patriots start the purge. I can't wait for the POS Murkowski to be kicked out. She can run as an independent like she did in 2010, but this time there are no more "moderate" republicans left to vote for her. The "moderates" of 2010 have learned what being nice gets them...

Neither. Control of the entire US voting system IS the key to Democrats’ 2022 success and 2024, 2026, 2028, etc.

So are saying that their statements are lies or are you saying that, like an abused spouse, we should overlook their decidedly non-conservative actions because they don’t beat us “most of the time”?

Yes I think that is the context of their comment.

“they vote for us most the time”

Should have added

“And they screw us every time it is vital and could win us elections or right a wrong”

Hows that impeachment help going, are we onto #3 now, or what GOP?

Blessings

Only 14 responses, half of which are mine. You folks are not ready for 2022.

Let’s see what’s on Democrats’ agenda now before 2022. Right now COVID-19 bill. I assume they will pass it by March. Then immigration bill. By that time, I expect Breyer to announce his retirement. He’s 82, will be 83 by August. At some point they will consider DC statehood and Puerto Rico bills. But I think that will be after the August recess. We haven’t even talked about the Green New Deal and Gun Control bills yet. I think Biden is waiting for a horrific shooting before he takes the offensive on the 2nd amendment. I’m sure they will eventually get to the Green New Deal. It’s not high enough of a priority yet. Oh. Reparations for African-Americans. They will do that somewhere sometime soon. Might even get a few RINOs in the Senate to vote on that. Romney. Collins. Murkoskwi.

I sadly feel that many have got stuck on the past and not the future, without hope unless PDJT pulls rabbit out of the hat.

The First thing Our President taught us is that we are not a single individual, we are collectively the largest most active, most dedicated, most financial and Politically strong ENTITY in These States (you will note I used the Singular and not the Plural and we do Not have United States, we have a Dictatorial Single entity called the Federal State.

There are many who are trying to help those who are just waiting, many who are out becoming Grass roots PC elected. And there are many who know this is a long haul, and WE are going to try our best to help BUILD the new Future and not just wait for One person to do it all.

Blessings to You and Yours

I think the DimWITS are waiting to SCHEDULE some horrific shooting(S) before attacking the 2nd amendment.

That would be consistent with the DimWITS planning the Jan 6 capital attack led by their brownshirts ANTIFA.

VIDEO Witness to Capital Building Attack Says it was Planned by Antifa!
