      It’s a great move and these are bills that need to be introduced frequently by dems right now. When people say “Yeah, but what can they do”. This. This is what they can do. Introducing these messaging bills for republicans to vote again and then grand standing on how republicans won’t do anything to help the working class.

      But dems must follow through. Minimum wage is the prefect example of where they should follow through. Attach it to a budget bill and when the parliamentarian says “not allowed” tell them to F off and push it through anyways. Just as the republicans have already done several times since they took control. Or blow up the filibuster. Either is an acceptable act for when dems get power. But they must deliver.

      If dems operate like they did in Biden term 1 or Obama term 1, they’ll be sunk in 2032.

        Pretty much. I’d love to see a party actually have balls. Ever when the Dems are in the majority they just circle jerk each other.

          We are fortunately seeing some of this with the gerrymandering bills. The absolute right messaging came from AOC when asked about the Virginia redistricting “We have a bill on the table to resolve this very problem but Republicans refuse to support it. If they hate this, they can feel free to vote to stop all gerrymandering”.

            gerrymandering likely will hurt GOP more than it helps them since they already area at the limit of doing it, and starts affect thier districts.

      I’ll believe it when I see it and maybe not even then because it’ll get struck down by the Supreme Court or something.

      Good. Things. Don’t. Happen.
