Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said at a press conference Wednesday that “high-volume” airports will begin to see traffic cuts on Friday, with air traffic declining by 10 percent by next week.
…
Unlike the targeting of blue-state infrastructure projects, there’s no feasible way for the government to own the libs via the manipulation of airport traffic. Democrats and Republicans both take commercial flights . . …
They want to be able to campaign on it for the midterms. That’s why they were willing to do a year.
Schumer needs to stop trying to time everything around elections and just accomplish stuff so they can use it when the campaigns roll around.
Accomplish stuff? Look up how many seats the respective parties have. The democrats aren’t capable of accomplishing anything, but they might be able to prevent the Republicans from taking away a few things.
You gotta get out of the mindset that the Democrats are the government. They are not. They can push a little by shutting down the government, but a majority of Americans did vote for the Republicans to be in power. The Schumer doesn’t have a mandate to do anything, just a very narrow area where he can make a case that while Americans voted Republican they didn’t vote for what little healthcare they have to be taken away.
Also having the voters make the final decision on whether healthcare should be taken away wouldn’t be a bad thing.
It’s sad that Americans on both the left and right seem to hate democracy now.
Majority did not vote Republican. The gerrymandering and fuckery did.
Pretty sure if we had a popular vote it would be a landslide against trump.
It would be necessary for me to be in that mindset first.
