Democrats need to let the GOP fuck up Americans lives next year.
We can't save them from their own ramifications.
The American People will not learn that way.
We cannot be Superman and swoop to the rescue every time, preventing the worst possible outcomes.
Give the people what they voted for: chaos, inflation, and hate.
Then they might start to vote FOR their interests, instead of against them.
This was a reply that started an interesting discussion.
FYI: This is not a call for Democrats to vote with the GOP and pass their bills.
We should vote against but we also need to stop negotiating with House and senate Republicans who NEVER keep their word on a deal.
Fuck 'em and let them sink Americans and realize we were straight with them all along.

In fact, Arab-majority Dearborn, Michigan, went from a 69% Biden majority in 2020 to giving Vice President Kamala Harris just 36% of its vote this November. Trump got 42%, and Stein got 18%. Boy, did they send a message for peace! .

No modern-era president did more for organized labor than Joe Biden. Among other things, he was the first president to walk a picket line, bailed out the pension for 600,000 Teamsters at a taxpayers cost of $36 billion, helped radicalize billionaire Elon Musk by excluding him from an electrical-vehicle summit at the apparent behest of the United Auto Workers union, increased funding for the National Labor Relations Board, and stocked that board with labor advocates.
In return, the Teamsters refused to endorse a presidential candidate, and the unions president, Sean OBrien, spoke at the Republican National Convention, and 45% of labor households voted for Trump, compared with 40% in 2020, according to exit polls.
