re: #219 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.

The problem is, the Republicans are turning the pandemic into a political game. They are putting the pressure on the Democratic administrations, and the Dems know that they cannot afford to fail this fall. We need a solid, unified, Democratic majority in 2021 to fix what the fat orange fuckface has destroyed, and we all know it. So they’re doing what they can to be safe and reasonable while keeping the Republicans in check, so that we can have a future in 2021 to look forward to.

Problem is that once momentum is built up, it takes an equally powerful force to stop it. Hence the push to “reopen” and stay “reopened” through to November, if only to blame Biden next spring if states start closing down again in the absence of a vaccine.
