Just so we're clear. You're in favor of ransoming hundreds of millions of suffering people to push an agenda.

Bailing out the Post Office?
Federal union bargaining?
Greenhouse gas emissions from airplanes?
Racial pay equity and corporate board diversity?
Amended IRS rules for community newspapers?
Same day voter registration?
Help us understand how ANY of those help fight, or recover from, Covid-19.

So you're in favor of the Dems holding up funding to fight the coronavirus, to hold ransom hundreds of millions of people that are suffering, in order to push the Dem agenda? And you're calling McConnell malevolent?
Yes. Americans need access to mail in ballots to avoid crowds and lines at polling places. This is what Mitch gets for not even bringing up for vote any House passed bills. More to the point, why should Senate Dems be blamed when Mitch can't get his own bill passed in the Senate he controls?
The way it's suppose to work is both houses pass their own bills and then a conference committee works out the differences. The House will pass its bill, and the Senate won't have one, which will mean the Senate passes the House bill or nothing. Politics is a rough sport, and it's never a good idea to treat the other side without respect, because you never know when the bill comes due.
Free Phogge!!!! And no, crimson doesn't refer to the Tide.
