tshile Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I am curious how all these big plans translate into actual legislation maybe I’m just being overly cynical but my default view is the gop will simply block everything. I mean if nothing else they love the “don’t let anything happen so we can blame the people in charge for not doing a good job” move. We also have the additional petulance of the 2020 election, to add to the ingrained petulance of republicans. and based on down ballot results there is no reason to think midterms will help with any of this; at best it’ll stay the same and I’d argue there’s a solid chance it gets worse as opposed to better. As someone that doesn’t really like either side I’m regularly frustrated with the lack of movement in anything especially as it relates to what is essentially unending campaigning. hard to get excited about these picks a d how they’re going to fix everything when it’s hard to see how they can fix anything, much less everything, due to the GOP’s petulance and reluctance to behave like adults and do their job. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's their gameplan. Dismantle when in charge, obstruct when they can, blame the dems for not getting anything done. Wash, rinse, repeat. That doesn't mean you give up. Gotta keep working hard because eventually for every step they force progress back, we have to fight to take two steps forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshile Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 That sounds great and all but it does nothing to address the gridlock which is a very real problem. There’s been little to no meaningful progress on things that really matter. And the longer we wait the bigger the problem becomes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're too fat and complacent as a country for the later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thinking about it, I wonder if it might have some opportunities. I could see some important decisions coming up. For example, driverless cars, and soon trucks. Gonna need to be a lot of rules involved for those. And what happens to the country when half or all truck drivers become unemployed? There's electric vehicle technology. The airline industry.
