People don’t need to have worked in Congress when I say only a handful of members from EITHER party could almost certainly solve this crisis very quickly if they tried.
Just picture any meeting you’ve ever been to that was large enough to have rules. PTA meetings, city council, whatever. 🧵

This! By removing plenty of adept customer service agents from the equation, corporations have shifted that administrative burden onto each of us who have other full-time jobs so that technology has become more of a nuisance than it is a help. Resolving an administrative problem shouldn’t take hours

Consider that McConnell in the was considered a liberal bogeyman prior to 2014 bc of how he obstructed Obama in minority and made life difficult for him every chance he got. No way that MAGA views Schumer this way, as a real obstacle to their larger agenda

Republicans constantly attack their Congressional leadership, and they remove leaders who fail to achieve the objectives desired by the base.
This 'infighting' hasn't been a 'distraction' or 'weakness' for them, it has produced victory after victory, including control of all three branches.

Oh yeah - never a convenient time to have some real talk about the dynamic that the Democrats in the Senate are led by bunch of chumps. Certainly not after they created the conditions for yet another base demoralizing surrender.
This kind of activity is just what you should want to see, if your are a Republican, eager to see the opposition distracted by self-destructive infighting.
