...and when their two Dem Senators vote no, I sure hope there's hell to pay for them. They're more aligned with the GQP than they are with us. After all we did to elect Joe, with so much at stake, it feels like the wind is gone from our sails and our ship is taking on water. All that momentum crashing to a halt. All that hope shriveling and dying inside. We can't wait on the 2022 elections to get more D's in the Senate, because by then it will be too late. It will be damned near impossible to drive our constituents to the polls again, if we don't deliver on the promises Team Biden made to 81 million Americans last November.

I am so disheartened, angry and even ashamed. And the 18-year olds we want to vote in 2022 - the ones watching and waiting right now - they won't give a shit when they see that the gridlock is the same as it ever was. They'll stay home and play on TikTok.
