a great talking point for Schumer and other dems. to get support from senseable (if any could be found) republicans to climb on board. Some of them have to be tired of supporting such shit.

Congress hasn't given a damn about what the American people want for decades. If they did, we'd have single payer insurance, the rich and corporate would be taxed their fair share, the minimum wage would be enough to live on, and the Pentagon would be on a diet.
