It Democrats lose big in 2022 [View all]

Everyone is going to blame Biden and they will also blame progressives. We will hear from the media, Republicans, and Democrats like Sinema and Manchin that Americans didn’t want the liberal socialist agenda. But in reality it will because the Democrats didn’t go big and pass their agenda….this article is good article that points that out

This reminds me of the early years of the Obama administration when we were dealing with Blanche Lincoln and bill Nelson…and letting them water down the health care and stimulus bills.
