I have lived through Clinton and Obama years and off-year elections. During Clinton, democrats were "not enthusiastic" during off-year and first mid-term because they did not get everything promised. They did not vote and awarded the GOP, who did nothing, the win by default. During Obama's first term, voters were not enthusiastic because they did not get everything in ObamaCare. They did not vote and awarded the GOP the big win. The same GOP that did nothing! Here comes 2021. Democratic voters are pissed because Voter Rights did not pass, and they get only 1.75 b instead of 3.5 b in infrastructure. So, they are angry and VA is preparing to vote in a Trumpian GOP by default. All this time, GOP did nothing. ZERO. If our voters keep rewarding the party that did ZERO, and kept getting angry at Democrats who do half, I just do not know how Democrats can ever do what they can. I mean, we lost the Supreme Court, thanks to our off-year election performance. The only solution is to vote for more left of center Democrats. Sitting out will not help. This time, we may lose the country. You do not want Virginia to become a Texas.

Us is pissed - their black News Radio audience. Get through the damn BIF and BBB and get onto voting rights. I want debate on the House Floor and Senate Floor.
Those debates to GET THERE will guarantee a win in GA, AZ, PA, OH and WI in 2022.
We are now less than a year away from the midterm election. We are out of time. And NOTHING better be attached to the the voting rights act. No minimum wage, no infrastructure, no pork.
Straight vote on whether or not people voted into office believe non-white Americans should be forced to undergo taxation without representation or not.
