You continue beat this deceased horse.

Shame is most dems don't support bipartisan efforts and you hear little from them about working America.

McConnell flat out states his intentions to obstruct Biden and Dems. The opposition to a 1/6 commission is NOT bipartisan.

The 'human' component of Biden's infrastructure proposal impacts working America as much or more as/than it does whitecollar America.

The user fees....gas tax... in the GOP infrastructure proposal impact working America more adversely than any other segment and wouldn't come close to paying for their proposal.

Those are specific examples that undermine your argument.

“Shame is most dems don't support bipartisan efforts and you hear little from them about working America.”

Really?

With today’s gang of hyper-partisan Republicans who are more interested in kissing Donald Trump’s butt than serving their country.


The most disgusting display of pure partisanship and refusal to compromise came over creation of a September 11-like commission to investigate the insurrection of January 6. Let’s remember what happened that day. An armed mob of Trump supporters stormed the United States Capitol, broke doors and windows, defiled the sacred House and Senate Chambers, destroyed documents, endangered the lives of House Members, senators, and the vice president, and pummeled and killed Capitol Police officers. It’s important to know how and why that occurred in order to protect the Capitol, tell the American people the truth, and prevent such an outrage from happening again.


Yet both Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell opposed creation of the commission. Even though they both originally supported it. And even though the commission plan was crafted, at McCarthy’s request, by Republican Congressman John Katko — who got everything in the deal that McCarthy had demanded. But McCarthy still voted against it. Why? Because Donald Trump told him to. And because McCarthy knew he’d be subpoenaed to testify about his phone call with Donald Trump in the middle of the insurrection. By rejecting the January 6 Commission, Republicans have proved once and for all that they’re not willing to work together, even on a matter of national security. They’d rather protect Donald Trump than the Capitol.

It’s nice to see some objectivity here.

You can't make the baby eat her peas if she throws them at you. She has no desire to listen to you. So you stop trying to teach her why.
You can't talk to a snake to dance for you. He has no desire to listen to you. He'd rather bite you. So you throw him in a bag if possible.
You can't reason with a bear in the middle of the trail because he refuses to give ground and will attack you. So you go around.
You can't reason with a republiqan because they have joined lockstep in their plan for reelection and gaining power at all costs.

Because none of these want to be teammates.

mitch and the republiqan party lost their ounce of respect the last 5 years and have openly stated they will not work with any democrats at all in anything. How many times can they say this before people accept that the republiqan party doesn't believe in bipartisanship, never has and only says so when it suits their agenda and should be treated as the liars they are.

Manchin is a fraud in dem clothing and should be thrown out with the rest of the returd party. Believing manchins 'oh we must have bipartisanship' bullshit isn't conductive to cleaning up the government after tRump literally single handidly damaged the shit out of it.

The party of the absurd has no intentions to work together except with themselves. If we can get rid of mitch, macarthy and manchin, there may be a chance for the returd party. But I doubt it.
