Lol. They wouldn’t spend the time, money, and effort if it played to their base...funny idea though, similar to you thinking they’re not governing but have no answer as to what you think they should be doing.

Why would someone spend $40m, 4.5+ years, and 2 impeachment trials if they weren’t concerned?

You certainly have a right to that assumption/opinion.
I know you will never agree but Trump was toxic for our country. We need a president for all and not just their supporters.

Those who’s feelings he hurt consider him toxic. Biden isn’t a President for all. He’s a coddler and is going to pass out more free stuff than any POTUS in history, and then some. The entitled folks who got their feelings hurt love that. Problem is, giving an borrowing an endless amount of money away isn’t sustainable. Economics 101 proves that.

The drooling imbecile in the Oval Office now is only governing for the Democrat base. He hasn't done one single thing for the majority of the people who did not vote for him and he won't. On the other hand, he will bend over backwards for illegal aliens because those people will vote for him after they are given amnesty.

Obama lost over 60 house seats and far more Senate seats in 2010, than the Republicans lost in 2018 and 2020 combined. Obama NEVER saw his party recover during his tenure. The GOP did fairly well in Congress in both 2018 and 2020 relative to how the party with POTUS usually fares. JB IMO will likely see his party lose far more seats in 2022 than the GOP did in 2018.

If getting to 50-50 in the Senate is the DNC high point, as a conservative, I adore their lowered expectations.

If you think they’re capable of that I have some bad news for you. The only thing they know is entitlement, cancel culture, passing out free stuff to the entitled, executive orders, defunding the police, etc... It buys them votes and that’s what they care about most....and let’s not forget Sleepy Joe bribed the country with a stimmy on the day of the election and then later set limits on it, but folks fell for it, lol.

If you don't believe Trump lost then you're not "over it".

Wages, healthcare, poverty, unemployment. NONE are short-term solution oriented. All require parents doing the right things, insuring kids do their homework, study, work hard, commit NO crimes, and realize post secondary education will be needed.

The knee jerk reaction liberals have to look for 30 second solutions to lifelong planning is a recipe for disaster. The knee jerk reaction liberals have not to accept individual personal responsibility is a recipe for disaster also.

I can see you don’t want to talk about what your President and party is doing to the country . I also understand why.

2018 was a 40 seat loss for GOP in the House, not sure I buy Ds losing that many in 2022, though with reapportionment and winning a couple seats the GOP should get enough to win back control of the House at least. I believe Ds will add to their 50 Senate seats in 2022 however (or at least keep control) based on the Senate map and number of GOP retirements.
