Anger is growing in Democratic ranks over the failure to get President Joe Biden's sweeping agenda through this year despite unified control of Congress, with their party already bracing for what could be a brutal Election Day in next November's midterms.
Major issues they promised to deliver on, such as a bill to overhaul voting laws, stand virtually no chance of becoming law. And the biggest ticket item -- the $1.75 trillion Build Back Better plan to dramatically expand the social safety net -- which is still mired in talks with West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, has yet to be drafted into final legislative text or even fully vetted by the Senate parliamentarian.
Despite major accomplishments this year, such as passage of the $1.2 trillion infrastructure law and the nearly $2 trillion Covid relief package amid razor thin majorities in both chambers, there's a palpable sense of frustration among Democrats that much more should have been accomplished -- especially given the array of promises they made to their voters and the self-imposed deadlines set by their leaders that have blown.
Liberals are angry that they agreed to delink the infrastructure package from the Build Back Better bill -- which they had for months insisted be passed in tandem before relenting under pressure from their leaders and Biden himself. Democrats of all stripes say they're alarmed by the actions of GOP-led states to restrict voting access, yet they don't have the votes in the Senate to overcome a Republican filibuster to enact their a federal law. Other Democratic priorities, such as overhauling gun laws, have fallen by the wayside and completely off the agenda.
And all that comes amid this grim reality: Democrats face bleak prospects of holding the House next year and chances that the Senate could flip, too.

Who give a crap if Republicans take the House and the Senate. They will just help their dear friend Joe out. They put him in office, they will make sure he stays in office and President Trump does not return to office. So lets stop with the bullshit.
They didn’t need to. Loon Wood and the dumbs made sure of that.
Boo f’ing hoo.
Whatever they don’t like or hate is good for this country. I rejoice in their sadness.
Why are Democrats always characterized as “angry” unless they get what they want? Isn’t that an unhealthy mental attitude? Shouldn’t they sometimes be “accepting” or “defeated” or “determined”? Nope. Always “angry”. Like this is their default state.
——————
It is their default state ... because, fundamentally, they are a bunch of overgrown, spoiled, children.
They stole at least 7, possibly 8 seats including:
Kelly in AZ; CO; both GA seats; MI; MN; NM; & (possibly) VA.
What’s her name form AZ was right for calling Manu Raju a fake journalist.
Democrats are stuck in a perpetual adolescence. Never satisfied , always demanding.
A life , or in this case a political career, based on a series of unsatisfied demands is one that will be in a constant state of turmoil.
Boo Hoo Gurl!
Me love you long time!
More like “One for you, one for me. Two for you , 1,2 for me. Three for you and 1,2, 3 for me...’’
They need to shut up. They got a lot of pork. Isn't that why they're in the swamp in the first place? Run with that. America does not want to be communist at this part and it seems thar Sinema and Manchin may be getting it. They might be corrupt and perhaps we can call them socialist. But they'll be damned if they'll let the Communists in the Democratic Party take over. 325 days until the midterms.
