They all serve capital. One side is honest about it and uses demagoguery to placate their voters while the other lies about it and uses media chaff to confuse people.

*screaming into my monitor* yes... YES!!!!! i can't stop agreeing!!! it's like a loving circlejerk in here we're all the same person wow!!!!! we should make a new party, one which is dedicated to teaching sweet innocent voters what capitalism actually is. like, the definition of capitalism. no one knows this poo poo. no one knows what socialism or communism is either. they aren't when "you feel good" or "when you feel bad" you sons of bitches. radlibs im also looking at you. anyways our party can't be within the system so we'll teach people from roving guerilla cells across the country in between ammunition resupply missions

The only problem with Manchin is that there's only one of him  If Manchin clones dominated all of Congress he couldn't sandbag the Dem agenda anymore because it would simply be the Republican agenda instead, bing bong so simple

Raskolnikov38 posted:is there anything saying the money must be spent on this or is this entirely a lib delusion It's one of the summary points in the published budget quote:The FY 2022 Budget includes an increase of 100 Attorney positions for Office of the Principal Legal Advisor (OPLA), 30 staff positions for the Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Victim Assistance Program, 24 staff positions for the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), and 10 T-8 support staff positions. These enhancements will address the backlog of immigration cases. The FY 2022 President’s Budget also includes funding for infrastructure and information technology (IT) to support new and existing staff while improving overall efficiency of ICE IT. https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/u.s._immigration_and_customs_enforcement.pdf The article is just a summary of what's in it. The specific details and how it will work in reality is probably going to be different than whats on paper though. Obviously.

Homeless Friend posted:the amount of crazy poo poo goons post and then turn around and call other people insane fuckin rules lmfao 1. There are no non-insane republicans or leftists (who are actually the same, when you think of it, bc they're both insane). 2. What if republicans take charge & put all democrats in a concentration camp? Allow me to dwell on this fantasy over the next several pages of this thread and over the next several days of my life. 3. Now I need to go lie down till it's time to talk to my therapist bc I can't stop thinking about the republicans taking charge and I'm having a bad anxiety attack thinking about the republicans putting me in a concentration camp. (Yes, it's ok to call them concentration camps again if republicans are in charge. Duh.)

If you put 5 more Manchins in the senate then you can't lay all the blame on why Good Things Aren't Possible on a single person. This logic checks out.

a lot of this discussion is premised on the incorrect assumption that it is only Manchin and Sinema holding things up in the Senate, when they're really giving cover to a majority of the Democrats in the Senate who agree with them. that's why nothing would change if you added five more manchins. we already saw that play out in 2009 when there were nine more manchins. it's also why you can't quite compare what's happening in the house.

Exactly, MattY is just another dipshit who can only conceive of politics as a TV show so he has completely bought into the media framing that Manchin and Sinema are holding things up because of their wacky crazy personalities and not because they are part of a sizable contingent of far right democrats who don't even want to do any of the bland poo poo that the center-right dems want. Surely if we just elect some ~normal~ fash-lite dems they will listen to reason!
