I just can't understand why at least...

...one single republican cannot tell Schumer to call for the BBB vote and he or she will vote for it, because it will help their state. When it finally gets passed and republicans start taking credit for it, Dems should plaster those republican states with billboards that say they voted no!

Works better if you break BBB in components.
IOW,

Childcare:"GOP voted against helping women with childcare so they could get back to work."

Healthcare:"GOP voted against getting affordable healthcare to millions of Americans."

GOP senators fear loss of their base and financing more than anything else.

I hear many of them say, take care of your own kids, don’t expect the nanny state to do everything for you. Don’t have kids if you can’t afford them.

Now I couldn’t disagree with this more, myself, I’m just saying that’s what I hear from the right wingers in my family.

There may not be much violence going on in politics, but there's a lot of threats of it.
