This should have been the priority of the 2021 Trifecta. They did not take the threat seriously and now here we all are again

That not taking the threat seriously and the short window and limitation (e.g., Baucus, Sinema, Manchin) does highlight just how precarious things were/are that make it seem like willfully missed opportunities. And should spur us on against that stranglehold.

None of that stuff would have had the votes to pass, because the median voter simply does not care about it, and yelling at them about how they are betraying their responsibility to liberal democracy will not make them care.

Should have never sat the insurrectionists and / or immediately impeached them. If J6 doesn’t shake up the status quo norms appreciation society I don’t what does. Wild shit.

Spent so much time trying to placate Manchin/Sinema... Meanwhile Manchin couldn't even deliver his own VRA when he insisted he could.

By “they” do you mean two specific senators in the narrowest legislative majority in American history?
