In short Republicans are going to screw over 23 million poor Americans because they don’t want Democrats getting political credit for helping them during an election season. And because our press is generally broken and afraid of calling a duck a duck, this is going to get dressed up as a genuine concern about wasteful spending by a party that’s long been a huge fan of no shortage of wasteful spending.
Meanwhile Biden wants applause for giving this same discount to one single battleground state…
49 states lose it, one gets to keep it. And moderate Dems want us to congratulate them for it.
It’s this kind of strategy that makes “moderate progress” an oxymoron. The result isnt just less progress, it’s a slow backslide because gains never outpace setbacks from conservatives.
Moderates might not be the ones breaking shit, but when they’re the only other option “not breaking shit” isn’t good enough, they need to actually fix shit.
If they can’t, maybe that’s a sign 30 years of the neoliberal experiment just shows that it doesn’t work and we need FDR style Dems again…
Never fails to amaze me how y’all can tie literally any news to how fucked up Democrats are. Like this article is literally about republicans being fucked up and yet somehow that was a prompt to say democrats are.
Really?
Are you surprised when people criticize the police?
Do you think we should only criticize the criminals, or that it’s ok to criticize police when they’re not doing enough?
As I said elsewhere, they don’t really understand that they’re actually asking us to be more like Trump voters and vote on the party line without questioning things.
They probably are, and they’re probably shocked that after the George Floyd protests that people are upset that Democrats all over the nation are pouring more money into police departments than ever.
No one said anything about the police but you weirdos start assuming
Epic rebuttal. /s
No one said a goddamn word about police you stoned ape
The fact that you don’t understand how examples work speaks loudly, friend.
The fact that you think you cram words in someone’s mouth and then they actually have to care speaks LoUdLieR
Wtf are you talking about
I feel like the current establishment wouldn’t allow an FDR-style candidate to succeed, they’re making too much money from protecting the status quo.
But I’ll still grudgingly support them if Trump is the other option. I’ll vote progressive in my local elections, but as long as we still have a first-to-the-post election process, it’s always the lesser of two evils.
Isn’t it the case that whoever wins this one, they’ll be the oldest president in US history? Gross.
Just vote in primaries.
The DNC has to respect the result of primaries.
So many people ignore primaries then complain they only have two choices.
I’m guessing you weren’t around for the 2016 DNC primaries? There is no legal precedent that the results need to be respected and they have outwardly said as much.
