As satisfying as it might have been for Biden to say that McConnell is a lying POS and Cornyn is an idiot we all know exactly what would have happened. Republicans would gotten into a snit and used those remarks as an excuse to refuse to negotiate at all.

The truth is we already know nothing is going to pass this term. Biden knows it too. The strategy is to let republicans come out in favor of letting our mass murderers be the most heavily armed in the world and then campaign on it in November.

It’s the only path forward.

...and Joe is now living the legacy of progressives who stayed home or voted for Bernie or Stein in 2016, gifting Trump the Supreme Court.

But the past is past.

Things are so bad now that even Democrats can be expected to vote aggressively.

But Dem candidates need - pardon the expression - ammunition. This will help with that.
