I wanted to add one more thing to this notion that Sanders or Warrens bills have no chance of passing. Do you think, for even a second, that Biden's pandering bills are going to pass so long as the republicans run the senate? That's not going to happen either. Right now, it doesn't matter for a single moment WHAT kind of compromise the dems make. The republicans have as a block all decides that dems will never get credit for passing a single bill again so long as they have control. That's Mitch's entire strategy. Even if they literally do every single thing the republicans want, without getting a single thing in return, the republicans will reject it, then submit their own bill, and the dems will pass that one "in the spirit of compromise".
Don't buy into the idea that Biden's bills have a better chance of passing. The ONLY way any bill is going to pass the senate ever again is if the democrats take it. Well, if we're going that far, let's go ahead and make sure to stack the senate with progressives, and try to pass REAL bills, you know, progressive bills.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
