22. A good start would be to purge all No Labels Problem Solvers influence within the Democratic party/elected members.

No Labels Problem Solvers in the House (working hand in glove with Coal and Curtsy in the Senate) ratfucked Biden (and our Party in general) in the first 2 years of his term, blocking all but $980 billion in new spend out of Biden's $6.1 trillion in new spend on his 2 major infrastructure bill frameworks.

A huge amount of that spending would have went directly to the type of people who rarely or never vote and often say (even if wrongly) 'both parties are the same, neither gets good thing done that directly make my life truly better'. The Problem Solvers' (and Manchinema's) gutting of the Biden agenda played right into that line of thought.

Hi Celerity! NCgayguy Jun 9 #12

They are non-voters, because they don't give a shit. We can't change that. Walleye Jun 9 #14

Of course we can. It is easier to get a non voter to vote (and vote D) than it is to get a MAGAt to flip to D. Celerity Jun 9 #19
