    Yeah, problem is it’s still 16 months until Election Day, and 18 until the next Congress is seated. That’s a lot of time for this current government to continue to do harm. I really wish we had recall elections at the national level.

      That’s where the resistance has to last 16 to 40 months, slowing down and making people aware enough of these things:

      • how unserious about budgets Republicans are
      • how much they are trying to punish regular people (poor middle and moderately wealthy class),
      • while also looking to use the they are spending to subsidize companies, multi-millionaires and billionaires.

          That conversation has to happen now as well. But the points I raised are related to despair of the Reconciliation bill passing and those climate setbacks.

          Democrats’ window of opportunity to change ahead of midterms is NOW until the primaries. (I’ve said my spiel about it before in this thread)
