(#4538) This month of July will tell us what will happen for the rest of Joe's first 2 years

      Congress is still a week from coming back from its recess but then the shit will be hitting the fan. We will know by the end of this month just what will get done for infrastructure, police reform and voting rights. The voting rights dilemma will require some crafty legislating or at least a carve out of the senate filibuster to get at the root cause of republican obstruction to voting rights. To me there is no bigger issue that needs to be rectified than the assault on voting rights by the republican party all across The United States. Sure infrastructure is vital and necessary but the path forward on it is pretty clear. However police reform and voting rights are not clarified just yet.
     Moving entrenched democrats who are still fighting against changing rules in the senate to allow for majority vote is what we will find out this month. Now it may spill over into August but this month of July will be the crucial time for knowing how our nation will be resolved to Joe Biden's agenda. That Joe Biden has embraced our progressive policies with as much fervor as he has in the past with moderate policies is very refreshing. But the path forward is not easy given the nature of republicans to hate on the working middle poor class. But we democrats have the wherewithal to maneuver around those republicans so getting our democrats in sync is what this month will reveal or not.
     I prefer not to think about we democrats sabotaging our agenda over archaic and disingenuous rules but here we are now and that could be a possibility if we don't change those rules. The time for putting up and shutting up is now and if we democrats are going to lead our nation then we have to be of one mind and heart. I think the heart is there it is just bringing the minds around to the fact that there is no other way to get our agenda to pass unless we are willing to go all the way. The republican party will stop at nothing to stop us so giving them a free pass by stopping ourselves is the most ludicrous and dishonorable thing we democrats could ever do so let us not do that and instead join together and do great things that will be felt for many generations to come.
