McConnell floats debt ceiling proposal amid partisan stalemate
subtitled, Democrats and Republicans are locked in an impasse, but the Senate Minority Leader proposed two options to save the day avert a default.
Why?
Why are they leading the narrative? I’m not even pulling from Faux News or OAN, sites that are probably paid to promote the GOP.
Biden has done a great job putting his two cents out there. He is calling it like it is. The others are just laying out idle threats and finger waggles.
I get that our Senators from WV and AZ are making things difficult. I get that it’s hard to act like a majority when our majority seems to lean right at opportune times for the Senators in question but inopportune times for the majority.
So hit back.
Start acting like the voters want you to make decisions, even hard ones.
TikTok creators are leading the charge right now. I’ve seen more assertive, aggressive content out of ordinary citizens than I have our hand-wringing elected officials. Who cares if it comes off as brazen? These are the same hooligans who would have accepted the results of the insurrection just as easily as they accepted the results of the election. Their opinion is worthless. Their hypocrisy has been well-documented, their self-serving tendencies exceeded only by their servitude to their donors.
The only reason there is a “partisan stalemate” is because McConnell said they weren’t going to vote for the very thing that he insisted they would always vote for in 2019. He can’t claim a victory by solving the problem he created all by himself.
Unless we let him.
