If we take the Senate then hopefully we can do what we want come February

We can only hope, but nothing is guaranteed.

Joe Manchin, a conservative Democrat from WV, has already said he'd stand in the way of Democrats' "radical" agenda if the Dems do take it, which won't really happen anyway since it'd be split 50-50 if Dems win both Georgia seats.

Meaning that Joe Manchin would effectively have the power to block anything he wanted by voting with Republicans giving them 51-49.

So even best case scenario we wouldn't be able to get most of the things we want done..

And who exactly are those hardworking democrats? Lmao 

You mean Pelosi who pretended to hold out for a bigger relief check but ended up settling for $600 or potentially zero?  :air:

That the subject matter like universal healthcare, green new deal, and AOC being in congress (who has shifted the conversations being had quite a bit) are all testaments to his impact. Not all achievements in politics are measured in # or bills written and passed. He’s definitely left his mark. Don’t be so cynical.

And since I read your other comments, this is in reply to those as well. Those “hardworking democrats” don’t actually know or care about people outside their donor class. This isn’t me giving some working class hero stump speech. I know these folks. I know folks around these folks. It isn’t outright hatred, that’s cartoonish. But they are so incredibly out of touch and have been that they don’t even know what they’re serving for anymore in actual terms. Diane Feinstein is a great example of that.
