Just get it done people.. just get it done

A little advice to all the Democrats in both houses of congress and to all the Republicans who still have an ounce of love for the constitution.. Vote the bills.. They may not be 100% everything you want.. but if you can get 80%.. take it and then come back for the other 20%..

Just get it done people.. get it done!!

And a Congrats once again to getting the Infrastructure Bill through!!.. WTG.. Keep up the good work.. proud of all of you who voted it in!!

So, how much further do you suggest Dems compromise?

Should we take 10%, and come back later (like say, after the next census in 2030) for the other 90%?

that’s somewhere between 1.25 trillion and 1.75. That’s if Manchin and Sinema play ball. They may fuck the whole thing up and walk away.

I am so tired of the equivalency. For months they wouldn't tell anyone what they were for or against, then right before the elections rolled around they got in motion, but too late to help Democrats running in races before the elections. And that crap Manchin pulled the day before the election had Comey written all over it. No sir or madame. There's no just get it done, there's just Manchin and Sinema get it done, and it's not 80% it stands at 50% now. Remember they cut it from $3.5T to $1.75T thanks to Manchin. I mean seriously, who the freak is against family leave?

...when we get that full-strength Social Climate BBB bill done the American people will thanks us and reward us...

...a full-strength Social Climate BBB bill will meet the needs of the American people...hard working people and their families who've been on the shitty end of the capitalist stick for far too long...problems and needs that have been accumulating for over a generation will now be addressed...

...a new day is coming and it'll be a great day for America...

...better times in the making, better days ahead...
