Dear Democrats ... GO BIG.

2022 is probably going to be a slaughterhouse. It doesn't have anything to do with the party or what we stand for. It isn't messaging or media. It 2 things ... gerrymandered districts and anti voter laws ... and the fact Americans love to flip flop.

Women with straight hair want curly hair.
Women with curly hair want straight hair.

Short guys wanna be tall.
Tall guys ..... um ...... fuck you. ( I'm jealous)

Salty and sweet.... mix it up.

My point is America will probably turn Congress and the Senate back the Republicans. Simply ....... because.

AND I WANT TO BE WRONG...

But .... what is there to lose? Just go big. Ram it through. Tell Manchin to go fuck himself. Sinema too. Tell them to go play in McConnell's hemorrhoid cream drawer. Play dirty. Go nuclear.

Can that even happen? I don't know. Shove a ton of money toward the American people and take a size 22 shoe and stick it to the billionaires. Just do it.

Medicare eligibility at 60 - includes dental and vision.
Caregiver support.
Paid family leave.
Daycare assistance.
Money to cops for mental health intervention experts.
Money to rehab programs to keep addicts out of jail.

Just shove it all in there and pass it.... quit haggling. quit making deals.... JUST DO IT.

If you are going to lose anyway then go out big with a giant fuck you to McConnell that he can't take back.

3 or 4 days ago I told someone I'm in the slow and steady wins the race side ... take the deal in hand and fight for more later. And really, that's me. But yesterday tells me keeping the house and senate probably won't happen regardless.

So fuck it... just do it.

kicked out the Q's and put in "moderate" Republicans. The local Democratic party considers that a win. I don't.

We still have 2 "sanctuary cities" in the county and locals are still going to be given all the time they like in meetings to whine about how teaching American History and a 5 yr old boy who decides he wants pink hair today is going to be the death of America.

Sorry ... I'm not yelling at you ... I'm 80 and doing my "you kids get off my lawn" imitation. My patience today is about zero.

Glad there is a ray of hope in your corner. Sincerely.

Which means you get NOTHING. To quote the Beatles nothing you can that cant be done. Given that, the Democrats should take the most they can do ... now ... and pass that.

Yes, I know that means that list will not happen now or any time soon,. However, lots of important things that Biden discussed will happen. The choice is not the BIG list or the compromise, but the compromise and what we have now.
