Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 3, 2021 Members Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) I'm seeing the dismal turnout in some of these local races and it becomes obvious why in certain races, the incumbents kept their positions. There were some genuine gains for Democratic candidates of color, in particular. Having friends in Boston, MA and having travelled there frequently and having experienced some of the Boston-style racism up close, it really is something for my mind to get around the fact that Boston now has a Taiwanese American mayor. The racists won't disappear (it is Boston, after all) but hopefully she can get as much of her agenda accomplished as possible- she will have to, or they will come for her in full force.

Members DRW50 Posted November 3, 2021 Members Share Posted November 3, 2021 I have heard the paid leave act is not good (the bill itself, I mean), but at this point anything may be better than nothing. I'm more curious as to whether any of this will finally cause Manchin, Sinema, and their cowardly friends in the Senate to wake up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted November 3, 2021 Members Share Posted November 3, 2021 I wish people would let go of that thumbs down mess. She didn't vote against the minimum wage she (and SEVEN other Democrats) voted against trying to include it in the COVID relief package after it has been stripped out by the parliamentarian. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KMan101 Posted November 4, 2021 Members Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) Yep. I agree on your overall point. I mean good for them for having fun I guess, but it highlights just how far behind we are you're right. Maybe it's "meta" on their part for a bigger reason LOL? That's the thing now LOL. It was weird. Edited November 4, 2021 by KMan101 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
