The thing I disagree with is that the voters are entirely to blame. Given gerrymandering and the built-in power advantage of small states in the Senate, it's not entirely the voters' fault.

So I kind of agree with this and kind of disagree with this. They can do local stuff. They can pressure local legislatures. They can do some work at home. Yeah, nationally it is a dumpster fire, but sometimes it is disappointing to see how little reps/senators do for locals.

Perfect example: working with undocumented immigrants to help curb vaccine hesitation. Pressuring Gov’s to do that. Working together to formalize vaccine distribution, what’s working, what’s not working. Pressuring $$ to public at STATE level. Just some ideas

We have a system that by design gives excessive power to small states that have a Republican majority in the Senate. It’s not a bug: it’s planned that way. It’s designed to distort the will of a majority of voters.

So it’s not even completely the voters’ fault.

It’s a weird world when the best chance of actual bipartisan legislation is if the Democrats hold all three branches.

A new day dawns upon America
!! While I’m not in love with what Joe Manchin’s vision for America is, it’s a hell of a lot better than anything the Republicans will support. This is still a win!Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
