The House, Senate and Oval Office are without question in the hands of the Democrats. Please explain to us how McConnell has a say in anything?
He was successful in stopping BBB & voting rights bills. He already hurt the US credit rating by threatening another shutdown. He doesn't care about wealth inequality, low wages, education or healthcare for Americans. He's fought every single one of those issues, siding with corporations and the wealthy at every turn. He can't do much more about inflation than Biden can other than screwing with the supply chain & keeping the pandemic going, which he does.
You can't expect me to believe McConnell cares about any pain Americans feel over inflation. He & the GOP are absolutely giddy over it. If he had the power he would absolutely prolong it until after the elections.
This administration can't control the Senate with Manchin & Sinema in the pockets of corporations & their own self-interest. Citizens United, the end of the Voting Rights Act, and the rise of fascist populism may kill this democracy.
