I'd be even happier if we didn't have a gas tax and just had everyone pay their fair share

One of the few positive things about 2016 is that line of thinking is dead. I also think the "I'm not getting everything I want so I'm not voting for our candidate" is dead. 2016 proved that if we neglect our democracy we can lose it: it has domestic enemies.
Maybe when all is said and done that will be a blessing in a very cheap and trashy disguise.
no, that's definitely back
No, it's not. You're not bestowing us with some incredible insight here...

Src?
lots of people are crying that their student loans haven't been forgiven, so why bother voting for Democrats

I think I'm pretty conversant with the Left and as opposed to 2016 these days there is nothing like the recoil then when we were pushed out. We still know we're getting the shaft, but we also know right now we have to save the world before we can save the Democratic party. Basically, we're being the bigger man and waiting until it's safe to aspire again. Pure damage control mode.

One of my Facebook friends posted an article about how the push towards electric vehicles was too much, too soon, since there weren't enough charging stations and such to support them.
I replied, that's why we need an infrastructure bill.

Well, I hope not. I have witnessed a lessening of the fury of the Left against the Center and also a lessening of the mindless demonization of the Left by the Center. Obviously, both sides are fundamentally incommensurable, but like FDR and Uncle Joe "we have a bigger problem now."
Now, I think the fascists and the media each want to exaggerate our animosity, each for its own ends. So you will always see DEMOCRATS IN DISARRAY!!!11! on cable news and the internet. But at the personal level, while of course there are lots of anecdotal cases, I believe it is far more quiescent.
And even if it were not: do not give comfort to the enemy. Be the change you want to see in the world.

We had 4 years of "next week is infrastructure week" that never happened and now we have actual infrastructure legislation that has been proposed by the Democrats with no support from R's.
So explain in small words that even you can understand how this is a "both sides get blame" issue.
And we can't ignore the small fact that this whole movement against infrastructure support dates back to Reagan- who coined the whole "guns not butter" bs. Basically, Drew- you have been directly supporting this movement until you finally realized how bad dumpy was for this country. Don't pretend this is some kind of new thing that gets blame from both sides.
Heck, even here in Michigan, our Governor ran on "fix the damn roads" can't get anything through because R's won't do anything. And they never did anything when they had ever single branch of our government.
This is 100% republican's fault.

I mean, they warned us about integration...

Of course it is. But their voters are loyal and our voters are not. That's why they continue to hold power everywhere. Our voters are silly and actually want results for their vote. Their voters only require you be a card carrying member of the tribe.

I think we're getting that way too. It's just that we are a diverse coalition so tribalism is really hard to cohere, whereas they are a monolithic block of uneducated white Christian aggro as-sholes, so to establish bona fides a candidate only has to drag one of their Designated Villains.

We'll see. White woman flocked back to them again when Youngkin explained to them that their children are being taught in school that they are racists.

You do realize the idiom "but that's just me" means, basically, that I can only speak on my own behalf, and not on behalf of what others may think, not that I'm claiming some sort of authorship or origination of the thought or statement?
Kepler

We all realize "but that's just me" means "as any fool can see."
Again, you can't play that here. You're running Echo Chamber middle school plays in Cafe high school. No, it's not grad school, but it's not the finger painting Righties do all day. Dunning-Kruger is not your friend. Step away from the mic; you only embarrass yourself. Go back to Tucker and your Pepe friends and trade fart jokes. That's your lane.
