Right now, the lie is being spread that the Democrats have the House, the Senate and the presidency and thus we should be able to solve our problems. That is a lie. People need to begin to understand civics and be informed. The filibuster still exists. Republicans control the majority of state legislatures, and they use them to pass restrictive voting laws. The majorities in congress are razor thin. Action is still being blocked by McConnell and Manchin (the phony Democrat who represents a cherry-red state). If people do what they did in 1994 and 2010, and blame Democrats for not getting things done, then progress will stall again. That is just what the Republicans want. Stall everything, and fool the voters into thinking it's the Democrats who stalled.
The voters, especially millennials, must not be fooled again. They must come out and vote Democratic. They must stand with Biden and not turn and run away, like was done to Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. They must know where to put the blame. Not on the Democrats who were blocked, but the Republicans for blocking it. The cosmic indicators say it is time to end this stalemate; this polarization and these pendulum swings, and restart progress. The 40-plus year regression of Reaganomics and trickle-down neo-liberalism must end. Democrats must gain, not lose seats in 2022; enough so the filibuster can be defeated or reformed, DC and PR be given representation, the Supreme Court packed or reformed, HR1/For the People Act passed, etc.
