You literally said it won't pass, not that it probably won't pass. Your blindly pessimistic. Don't tell other people how to feel.

All you optimists gonna be disappointed just like the outcome of every single attempt in the past. There are still way too many hoops for this thing to make it through to be realistically optimistic right now.

And for those of you complaining about the wait to mid September... LOL, just wait until the wait to 2030, or 2040, or 2050 when they try to pass DA again.

Lastly, some of you asking the ones who don't believe this will pass "then why are you here?" need to get your head outta yer ass. This isn't a forum just for the blindly optimistic. You can support DA and still be realistic and acknowledge there are more challenges to this passing than strong obvious indicators that it will pass. Just wanting something to pass won't make it pass. Thoughts, prayers, and good vibes from us don't change shit.

Now let's see if Pelosi is true to her words...

The measure now faces a potentially rocky and time-consuming path in the House, where the speaker, Nancy Pelosi, and the nearly 100-member Progressive Caucus, have said they will not vote on it unless and until the Senate passes a separate, even more ambitious $3.5 trillion social policy bill this fall.
