Joe Biden is now POTUS

The problem is that McConnell is way more skilled than Schumer at this shit and is playing this pretty well politically unfortunately. Democrats ran on taking "control" of the Senate but a simple majority doesn't really matter as long as the filibuster is in place. Because of the way the GA Senate races were framed, most people assume the Democrats have the "power" and are not doing anything when in reality you need 60 votes to end debate and get to a vote on anything. McConnell knows this and is exploiting it to his advantage.

Like I said in another thread, McConnell is trying to fracture the Democrats because only the progressive elements of the caucus want to "go nuclear" and get rid of the filibuster. Everyone knows that they will eventually agree to the rules that were put in place in 2001 but in the meantime, McConnell is basically exposing Schumer and also doing his best to frustrate/fracture progressives.

I honestly believe that if we had Leader Reid instead of Schumer, we would see the nuclear option used to get some of this stuff through. I am not convinced Schumer has it in him so we will see...
Yep. Schumer is weak and McConnell is going to abuse him right from the start. McConnell is a piece of shit, but he's a master politician. He'd still be Majority Leader if Trump didn't decide to fuck him over on the way out the door.
Naw, Mcconnell's strength lies in racism, he was at peak strength using racism to keep Barack " in check" and he was the guy who protected the Racist in chief Trump. He cant use that racist shit againt Biden even though Biden is pushing more equality, a lot of Biden's policies will be benifiting Trump supporters even if they dont want to publicly admit it.
I think that right there is the crux of the matter. The GOP knows they have the loyalty of a huge part of the majority based solely on race. They have a lot more leeway in what they do. Their base is going to stand by them no matter what. The majority of the Democratic Party is still white and those people are liable to leave. As far as voters are concerned, the GOP only has to pander to white supremacists while the Democrats have to keep a large tent with conflicting interests together. The Democrats consist of whites (mostly educated or unionized), blacks, most Hispanics, Asians and Jews and the LGBTQ crowd while the GOP only has to appeal to one group.

I agree that McConnell is more skilled and willing to do more than Schumer. The Democrats are used to building coalitions, it's in their nature.

Unionized whites are split with the Republican Party. Cops and firefighters, most nurses, etc are conservative. It’s why you’re not seeing health care worker vaccinations above a certain percentage. And there are many non white conservative supporters who feel the former president gave them more of their money.

As a whole, We are just as socially conservative as the other immigrant groups and also just as entrepreneurially minded. The issue is that we won't vote for what is a basically a white grievance party like the other groups will. Trump made big gains with Latinos despite the family separation policy and his general vilification of them. As much shit as we talk on here about different members of the Diaspora, Trump couldn't have done the same thing with Africans for example and then received a big boost in his backing from Us. We were more upset about that family separation shit than actual Latinos. :smh: :lol:

I know a lot of Africans that voiced support for the former president. I’m working with a Jamaican girl right now who implies she voted for the former president. The light skin guy from the weekend with the fat, white wife hinted he voted for the former president. Anecdotal, I know.

It isn't really just about race with the dems as far as leaving the party. While republicans may have ((some)) variety of thought they have a common bond as you mentioned (keeping resources white).
The dem party has a lot of variety of thought but very little common ground among the different groups pulling from all over. One group wants this, and the other wants that, etc...The other side (republicans) will fall in line for just this... The republicans want this and their regressive followers simply follow.

Bro if you notice Dems are directly saying it along with labeling White supremist domestic terrorism.. Thry about to go hard on these cac extremist
Politicians saying things isn’t news. Legislation that will be enforced is news.

I see white drug addicts in Kensington not being arrested. I see heroin users shooting up right in front of a special admissions school, Conwell. Where are the narcotics Prohibitionist with a zest for morality and wouldn’t settle for less than 30 years for drug use?

I think you misread my post. We all know that certain members of the Diaspora are prone to saying slick shit about African-Americans/voting conservative. My point is that unlike Latinos, trump couldn't have run on a Fuck a Nigerian platform like he did with Mexicans and received a big boost from African-American voters.

Trump literally called Mexicans rapists, murderers and implied that caravans were en route to pillage and rape for four years. Despite all that, look at how he did in 2020 compared to 2016 with Latino voters:

Texas (up 6 points from 2016)
Florida (up 14 points from 2016)
Georgia (up 12 points from 2016)
Ohio (up 11 points from 2016)
Virginia (up 5 points from 2016)
Nevada (up 8 points from 2016)
Colorado (up 7 points from 2016)

:smh: :smh: :lol: :lol:

Im not disagreeing with you. The proof is in the 75 million voters who casted a ballot for him.

I figured he topped out at 65 million. I was wrong. This country doesn’t really want change. They don’t want better. It’s why someone can stage a coup and people are mealy mouthing anger towards its instigators.

Chuck Schumer rejects Mitch McConnell's Senate filibuster demand



On Friday, Majority Leader Schumer turned down a request by Minority Leader McConnell to include a protection for the filibuster in a Senate power-sharing agreement, calling the request “unacceptable.” Schumer added that he wants the same agreement that was established for the last 50-50 Senate in 2001, and called McConnell's request an "extraneous demand." The minority leader noted that he refused former president Trump's demand to end the filibuster in 2017 and that Democrats have used it many times themselves.

If it’s a Dem providing them that they’ll think its socialism.
That’s not true. For the last 3 years farmers have been receiving checks from the government without earning it. They overwhelmingly voted for the former president. White people have principles. They are committed to the destruction of non whites.

You would be surprise by the hate among Latinos from different countries.

I wonder what the number is among indians and Muslims because a lot of them vote for him in 2016 and they start to shit the bed when he laid down that banned.
