    The same song and dance happens for every bill.

    Yeah, your political opponents are going to oppose things you try to do. That’s not a good reason to not try to do things.

    They can use whatever line they like but that doesn’t mean it’s effective at swaying public opinion. 82% of Americans support tying the minimum wage to inflation. 60% disapprove of ICE. A majority of Americans oppose the Iran War, it’s really just Trump’s 30-ish percent “floor” that do. Those people were never going to vote democrat no matter what.

    What I’m talking about the 1/3 of Americans who don’t vote because they’re politically disengaged and/or don’t feel like either party is going to do anything for them.

    There is one clear and obvious problem that is much harder to equivocate: the admin is shitting all over the constitution and lining their own pockets at our expense. The abductions are right there, the paper trail is right there, the election rigging is right there, the pedophilia is right there, the economic and material damage is everywhere.

    That’s like 6 problems, not 1. The only thing I’m arguing against here is the supposed importance of impeaching Trump over and over again.

    Idk, being a contrarian got Trump elected after a brutal first term because eggs were expensive. You think it’s not gonna work with these gas prices??

    Certainly, the Democrats have the advantage but they’re still capable of blowing it.
