It looks like Democrats will fight for the ideal and then take whatever they can get hoping for some more Senate seats in 2022. If Dems expand and keep the White House and Congress, the bill passing will be fast and furious. I am very hopeful. Too many people are benefitting from Biden’s policies to be willing to throw it all away in 2022 especially knowing that Republicans will cancel Every. Single. Bill. if they regain control.

Depends. Does a trajectory have to be parabolic? 
Schumer controls the calendar. So why is he letting them go on recess? He should essentially lock all their ass up until all of these critical bills are passed. There simply is no time waste IMHO.

Trust me, I’m all for getting it done.

Even if they pass a law on redistricting they would be in court for months as redistricting is in progress right the hell now and the deadlines will be passing as they argue.

“If anybody’s gonna go after anybody they should be going after Joe Biden and his administration,” North Dakota Republican Sen. Kevin Cramer told VICE News. “It would be far better if he and every other Republican would aim their disgust at the people that are causing problems in our country, not those of us trying to solve them.”

It’s safe enough to mail one’s driver’s license, Social Security card, tax returns, refund checks, credit card bills, and the list goes on. It’s damned well safe enough to mail ballots as well.
