Sen. Bernie Sanders , with the backing of the Senate Democratic caucus, is prepared to make life miserable for Senate Republicans if they do not put a clean vote on the floor to increase one-time emergency payments to most Americans approved in the recent COVID relief package from $600 to $2,000.
The Senate operates on the principle of unanimous consent. It's not impossible to get things done if one Senator objects, but it's quite a bit slower. The majority needs to hold votes and waste time to muscle past an objecting Senator. For this reason, Sanders can prevent quick passage of the defense bill override, the only thing McConnell really wants to accomplish in the last week of the Senate session.
davidsirota The prez the US so dearly needed after 4 yrs of trump...if only the oligarchy wasn't so entrenched...
Bernie Sanders is always the only one who actually cares about us. Bad choice America. StimulusNow
davidsirota Senators and House Reps were elected by Americans to determine how to spend the taxes we all paid It’s radical these politicians voted to spend $740,000,000,000 for Defense companies LAST WEEK and not care for the Americans in the States and Districts that voted for them
davidsirota That's a shitty way to frame it but okay.

davidsirota It's so weird how senatemajldr uses his shirt to hold his neck in.
yaya17017 I need the help in my people sir
Way to go Senator Sanders! Trump is all about him. McConnell is all about power, greed, intimidation, destruction of Amer democracy, & obstruction of Dems attempts to help people & this country. Thus McConnell is anti-US citizens & pro greedy corporations & the rich.
In the Most Admired American poll from Gallup: Trump wins the 1 spot at 48% China Joe wins only 13% and they Swamp is trying to claim he won the election with 15 million more votes than Obama!
And he's right you have to fight with the same tactics being used by Republicans against Republicans it's the only way they'll stop doing what they do is when they find out that there are consequences they've been gifted with a party the Democrats who capitulate 90% of the time
SenSanders GO BERNIE
What's good for the turtle.. I mean goose!
