We do not need to start off by appeasing the very people who sat on their hands while trump burned

Democratic institutions to the ground.
We need to fight for all of the things we talked about before the election. IDGAF what republicans want. I truly don’t. They’re clearly not about America. At every turn, when republicans had a choice over the last 4 years they consistently backed and supported a criminal they always voted against America. Hell, many of them are criminals as well.
Republicans have failed to put forth any policy or ideas that would improve the lives of working and poor Americans. They are vigorously trying to strip 35 million people of their healthcare amid a pandemic.

about this and I do not know that Biden ever has a history of hard ball. Let me know if you have seen it, he has a long career. But, I am hoping 8 yrs with Obama and then the last four years, we are not there in that moment. We will see.

I know Obama started being tougher at a certain point, but we still didn't get the SC. I do not know that there would have been one extreme thing they could have done though.

Rowe v Wade among other things. Give them 2 years to prove by action they want to cooperate and the ones who aren't in prison maybe we can talk.
