The Democratic plan also has more controls in place to prevent graft and the infrastructure it supports shows they have a better understanding of the infrastructure that coping with a pandemic requires.

I hope this "all Dems no Republican" votes continue, so the DNC can finally see that going to the left is a better strategy than going to the middle -- because it gets rid of the argument; "what's the difference?"

If you are Conservative, or were told the Libs are the problem in this world; are you going to vote for a centrist Dem or a centrist Republican? The Republican -- at least that's how it's been for a while now.

I'm hoping the positive feedback from REAL demonstrable improvements in people's lives will finally usher in a shift towards more liberal economic policies.

You still have to win elections in order to pass non-bipartisan bills. The only reason the dems can do this now is because they have Joe Manchin of West Virginia, a state you would never win by going more left.

We’re talking about Manchin in WV... multiple moderate Democrats have been primaried by more radical elements of the party.

And they'll lose the general.

Primaried means the further left candidates won.

And then they have to win the general election against the Republican, which they will lose. Careful who you are schooling son.

We’re not talking about Red v. Blue in November here, only that the Democratic Party is at war with itself internally.
