Took less than 5 months for DU to go 95% Negative [View all]
Every other post is about Joe Manchin. The ones not about Manchin are defeatist posts about how the Reps have overturned Democracy in the states. It's the most negative I've seen DU since...ever.
We made it through George W Bush here together. We made it through 4 years of Donald J Trump together on DU. But now Joe Manchin and some voter suppression has launched us into a never ending downward spiral of negativity?
Listen, Joe Biden is President, he's already got a massive list of accomplishments. He's setting the country up for success as he turned the economy around and has brought the Covid pandemic almost to an end. There is a lot to celebrate right now, we removed Trump and Joe has spent the last 140 days righting all of Trump's wrongs.
Is Joe Manchin an issue? Sure, we have razor thin margins in the Senate, a moderate who supports everything we want to do, but won't end the filibuster to do it is a pain in the ass, but Joe is on our side, make no mistake about that. Without Manchin, nothing would have gotten done to rescue the economy. Vaccines would be way behind where they are because of what he helped get done. Mitch McConnel would control all of the Federal judgeships without Manchin. Manchin is an ally.
All of the voter suppression laws Reps are passing are disheartening, but they will backfire on them as long as Dems don't let voter apathy set in. And the courts are not going to let them overturn the will of the people. I honestly think there are trolls here fueling negativity around this, those laws are designed to make Dems think fair elections are a thing of the past. Trust me, Dems are fighting this everywhere, we will continue to have free and fair elections. Let's rally around this and get out the vote.
Right now, great things are happening in our country. Despite a couple really big things being stalled, dozens of smaller bills are getting passed through both chambers and making it to Biden's desk. I still think an extremely progressive Infrastructure plan gets passed that will make American Families and Climate Change the core of the bill. This is a great time, tons of progress is being made. WE WILL WIN!!!
Keep Delivering for the American People, don't let the Reps get what they want with voter apathy, and we will sweep the elections in 2022. The only thing that can stop us is ourselves.
