Legislation has next to no chance of passing but Democrats hope to show Republicans are not serious about solving border issue
Senate Democrats on Thursday will force a second vote on a bipartisan border security bill that Republicans blocked earlier this year at Donald Trump’s behest.
The legislation has next to no chance of passing the chamber, but Democrats hope the attempt will strengthen their argument that Republicans are not serious about addressing the situation at the US border with Mexico, an issue that polls show is a top concern among voters – and one of Joe Biden’s biggest political liabilities.
“Our bipartisan border bill represented a real chance – in fact, the best chance in decades – to act on border security, to make a law and not just to make a political point,” Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer said on Wednesday.
Because we’re using donations to determine who gets leadership positions for a long time now.
Bundle the most donations and you get to run campaigns and the DNC.
So the people in charge are the ones that rub elbows with the rich and powerful, there’s no outreach to regular voters. And for the rich and powerful, even the ones that vote D are conservative. Dont forget trump gave so much money to Dems Bill and Hillary felt obligated to attend his wedding despite saying they hated him at the time.
Just let that sink in. A former president and his spouse who was still active in politics took time out of their lives to attend trump’s wedding. Those are the people Biden is trying to keep happy with this.
Campaigns aren’t focused on getting votes, they’re focused on getting money then leaning on “vote blue no matter who” and fear mongering to get votes.
And at that point, why do we need to raise billions of dollars?
It’s just moving money around in circles for no other reason than people get to keep a little slice every time it goes by.
And the longer people “just vote blue no matter who” nothing will fundamentally change.
You can say we can’t afford to stop now.
But trumps been the candidate 3 elections in a row, even when it stops being him, the next will be just as bad.
At some point shit has to change. The least painful way for that to happen is everyone doing it at once.
