I don't think you know my politics. Perhaps I don't have any, at least in a partisan way. My keen interest is political strategy and forecasting elections. Numbers play a huge part there. Numbers like it or not also play a huge part in what can and can't be passed.

now I agree congress critters are in there for the most part to make money. A lot go in as rich, come out as extremely rich. Both parties owe their hearts and souls to corporations, wall street firms, lobbyist, special interests and mega money donors.This also includes Democrats along with Republicans. Fact is corporations and wall street have donated about 2-1 over the last 5 years to the Democratic Party. That's where both parties get their tens and at times hundreds of millions of dollar to run their campaigns and organizations. Fact is in 2020 43% of the 14 billion dollars spent came from individual mega rich money donors. As for the stock market, you have this.

I view things from an outsider point of view since I really dislike both major parties. I also let numbers talk to me letting me know what the public at large is thinking and how all Americans, not just democrats nor just republicans look at these things.

I'll stand by my statement that the loss of 13 house seats last year has really hurt the Democrats in their attempt to get their legislation passed. You may think the opposite which is okay. I also think last year election was more an rejection of Trump than any endorsement of Biden and or the Democratic Party since the Democrats did pretty poorly down ballot. If last year wasn't a presidential, the Republicans would be crowing about the overall results and the Democrats weeping in their beer.

Biden had no coat tails. He won because he wasn't Trump. Almost any other Democrat would have done. Biden just happened to be a safe bet to defeat Trump which was the Democrats number one objective. Losing down ballot was irrelevant to them then and I think it is now. Or they would know what is possible and what isn't.

That my opinion on this.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
