Coons was one of the biggest Trump enablers in the democratic caucus and won his race by more than either of his other elections. Voters don’t care.

There is no group of people in America less politically aware than those who vote in Dem primaries.

Actually, I've been told that the GOP is never ever going to take back either the House or the Senate, because Nobody Is Going To Remember This In The Midterms.

When more pictures arise of conditions like this:


Liberals are going to get online and say it's an emergency and it would be great if there were other options but Biden is doing his best given the extreme circumstances

I was just reading this article
https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/03/politics/immigration-us-mexico-border-crisis/index.html

And it sounds like those "migrant overflow facilities" are themselves packed way beyond capacity so as bad as they were in the first place, there is zero possibility that conditions aren't absolutely horrific. I'm sure the reason we don't have more details is just because everything is totally fine, though.

Also I was reading the new guidance, and it doesn't actually stop family separations. Just says "please please use discretion when you separate families at the border."

If things aren't actually worse right now at the border than they were under Trump I would be loving astounded.

I ate a probe in USPol a couple months ago for saying the Dems are a pro-concentration camp party. You can see the offending post here: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=1&threadid=3925337&pagenumber=455&perpage=40#post508462617

It's just pure cognitive dissonance to protect liberals' brain meats from confronting that this is never, ever going to get better under the prevailing ideology and polity of the Democratic party and they're complicit in it.

Look, if I had a magic wand, I'd make it so the other half of those kids didn't have to starve to death. But I don't have that magic wand, and it would take a lot of work to make those kids not starve. God clearly really wants them dead, and who am I to say otherwise?

it's literally that comic (I'm sure there's more than one) about centrists: one side wants no children to starve, the other side wants all children to starve, therefore the Democrats are the Adults in the Room by only starving exactly half the children

It's more like the side the Democrats draw their economic resources from is giving them the vig on starving all kids, the other side wants to destroy the ability to starve kids, and thus the latter are violent immature baby rabble for disrupting our precious status quo but we're willing to deign to not starve a kid here and there to quell their whining.

The one clear thing I've noticed rubbernecking the Other Thread for the last few weeks is that some people will just work backwards to justify anything a Democrat does as being correct with absolutely no internal vision of their own for what society ought to look like. Just a nebulously defined plodding of society in the "progressive" direction

This loyalty is only waived whenever a Dem does something they perceive as "bad optics" ie Cuomo or Sinema. Manchin gets a pass because he's Blue Dog Jesus

Bernie's campaign did a lot of outreach in NV and made a lot of solid ground which is why he won that primary handily. Sounds like they're still keeping it up there and thank god they weren't as blackpilled as we are.

So what's the time frame on cutting child poverty by half? I assume by the end of the year since most of these changes don't seem to be permanent. I'm sure the Washington Post will have a follow up on this since they seem pretty invested.

Snopes.com "while child poverty doubled, dividing by half is very close to saying cutting by half so we determined this is mixed."

Even if tax credits and a one time rent payment are actually going to work out somehow saying straight up "this is going to solve 50% of child poverty" seems like an INCREDIBLY bold claim from the same newspaper that a year ago said Sanders was being misleading by saying that half a million people would be bankrupted due to medical bills when actually those bills would only be a contributing factor and some studies by conservative think tanks also say otherwise.
