[QUOTE="mark46, post: 76013408, member: 257078"] ??? The Democrats in the House have had 5 years to prepare a proper bill. Instead they focused on wish list bills. As far as voting rights, they didn't put a priority on this bill. The wish list bill was sent to the Senate a year ago. There has been plenty of time, if there was much interest. The reality is that this is not a high priority for progressives, who prefer to send bills to the Senate that have no chance so that they can say "I gotcha" to those who vote against their pet bills, like the $15 minimum wage. The goals of the progressives, as has always been the case, is much different from the party as a whole Passing law is not their highest priority (as you think it would be for legislators). Rather, their highest priority is to promote their positions. It may seem to some that this is the same thing. it certainly is not. You see this every day. Let's stop any talking to the opposition. Present a united front. Keep the proposals extreme. Try to pressure every Democrat to support our positions by putting all the measures to a vote. Biden has a major problem, and it isn't primarily with Republicans. The bi-partisan House infrastructure bill is almost ready. However, the largest stumbling block is likely to be progressives who want to insist on a $2T bill. [/QUOTE]
