All they have to do is trot out Joe Manchin to kill it, and they can say they tried really hard but if you want to see this happen you need to :vote: harder in 2022.
It is the year 2072. Democrats control all 100 seats in the senate after an unprecedented victory in the previous year's midterm elections. The senate has convened to vote on a historic piece of legislation that would make it illegal for the largest rideshare companies to use the charred remains of their oldest drivers as fuel once they are euthanized upon reaching retirement age.
While all 100 Democratic senators have previously throughout the campaign season expressed support for this landmark bill, it seems that it is becoming more and more unlikely to pass as concerns mount among the hundred most conservative senators in the party. Senators Joe Manchin VIII and Joe 'Junior' Lieberman have made statements that the bill may be too radical to pass. The remaining 98 senators have expressed similar concerns after Uber and Lyft made public statements expressing their plans to close the lobbying departments within their companies if the bill goes into effect.
Democratic Senate entirety leader Paul Joseph Watson has expressed to the public that if they wish for a similar bill to pass in the future, they must turn out for the 2074 general election to elect more senators friendly to their agenda.
In other news, long retired former senator Mitch McConnell has recently announced his plans to reenter politics and run for senate once again after polls showed him ahead of his incumbent opponent by over 40 points.
In the Senate, the bill is being championed by Ed Markey of Massachusetts.
Pretty much how you know it's DOA. Markey isn't even on the Judiciary committee. If this bill had legs, it would at least get the backing of Leahy or Booker. Nevermind Manchin, this is going to get killed by freshman judiciary committee member Jon Ossoff.
