Enunciation is key!
The more time I spend in this server, the more apparent to me it is how rigged they system is to polarize people.
100%.
Its because of conversations like this ^^ that its set up to polarize people
Well... that is why I didn't say Moscow Mitch. Because it doesnt really matter the party. The Senate Majority leader, regardless of who they are, can basically prevent just about any legislature from reaching the president's desk for signature regardless of how popular the legislation is....
A great example would be the 600 to 2,000. It passed the House with a great deal of support on both sides but essentially 1 man killed that bill.
But again, this should concern a person regardless of their political preference
This server is being bombarded right now... https://securevotega.com/factcheck/
In the same way that it concerns me as someone who voted Republican that liberal Democrats cant even get a floor vote for universal healthcare
what we know now...
Im not sure I follow there.... My concern is just that a single person can block a bill regardless of how popular that bill is with the public or even with most of the Senators and Reps.
So Universal Healthcare is not one of those.... its NOT widely popular among both parties and citizens
you mean one person in Congress? obviously the President can block legislation with veto power requiring a super-majority of Congress to override
my understanding is that universal healthcare is part of every democratic congress persons promises to their voter, they control the house, but pelosi hasnt brought it up. Correct me if im wrong but she could make vote happen
Executive order used to have the power of law. They have significantly constrained its power from the 1st pres
Like what Mitch did with the 600 to 2,000. That is just an example. When the Democrats held the majority they did the same shit.
That is way too much power in the hands of ONE person, the Senate Majority Leader
Yes... in the HOUSE... but not the Senate. The House also passed that 600 to 2,000. They passed a minimum wage hike. They passed a the Heroes Act and the Equality Act.... but Mitch killed them all
need to just do away with it completely
A constitutional amendment to do that is likely to fail 🤷
Right. But it seems to be a choke point in which 1 person has the power to supress the will of half the country.
And again.... its not just Mitch that has done this... previous Democratic Senate Majority Leaders have also blocked Bills that would have likely been passed and signed into law but just didnt want to for whatever political reason (like, which every corporation owns that particular senator)
Look... the reality is that the 600 to 2000 Stimulus Increase Bill would have passed the Senate if for no other reason than Senators would have had no choice but to vote for it or they would lose their next election.
Trump wanted it so we know he would have signed it. The OVERWHELMING majority of Americans wanted it.
So... if not for Mitch McConnel that Bill would likely be law now.
But again... its not just Mitch. Its whoever the Senate Majority Leader is... Mitch has just been prolific at killing bills that would likely pass if allowed to go to a vote
@JD~Jordan do you think if there was a law passed which limited the length of a bill it would prevent this from happening? Im wondering if there was less to "object" to on each bill, political and public pressure would overcome the ease at which house leaders manipulate/obstruct congress
Epstien didnt do it, Hunter was framed,sleepy joe said conudity free china blueberries on the city ahhhh trunalimunumaprzure!
Everyone knows it's the orange man's fault...
@busillis, you just advanced to level 47!
I like how they're slow rolling this coup we've been hearing about for 30 years. Super shrewd.
Was this from above video?
Just a random observation. I pop in from time to time throughout the work day.
Oh hell no... that won't work. The 600 to 2000 was not "long" nor was the Minimum Wage Increase or the Equality Act.
Its just 1 guy who is now one of the richest Senators (after growing up dirt poor in KY) gets to decide what bills make it to a floor vote....
And the Corporations and Donors that pay him $100K to come speak at their luncheon are actually the ones in control
Is there a video today?
Ahhh so the capital "C" Coup that never truly materializes
There will be a stream, yes.
Cool good
Can you imagine what's happening off frame?
