I don't know who Parker Molloy is, but it's extremely cool that two years out from the next election, people are already being called racist for even considering not voting for Democrats.

why is the capitol mob bad anyways, the only people they hurt were themselves, they scared politicians and the media, and broke windows without ruining art

If they showed up one minute earlier they would've taken control of Washington DC and installed Donald Trump as dictator for life, then abolished the Constitution and set up a revolutionary court like Bane in that Batman movie and executed every member of Congress. It's true I saw it on the teevee.

You ever notice how you have to "register" to vote, "apply" for stuff like unemployment, food stamps, in-state tuition etc, sign up for your poo poo tier Obamacare plan during the proper window or you're out of luck. But somehow the IRS just takes your taxes automatically with no problems.

They won't forgive any student debt at all, or raise the minimum wage, and I bet they don't even send means-tested checks, either. Why would they? Biden promised nothing and people voted for him anyway.

The Biden dog twitter is nails on a chalkboard, even compared to other cutesy political pet twitters, because those accounts mostly stay in character as a dog or w/e. Like if it was just Biden's dog playing in the Rose Garden, OK fine whatever. But wtf, this poo poo isn't cute:

Guess Biden will have to appoint a Republican in the name of bipartisanship. Someone a little more "fiscally responsible". I mean that's what this is really about right? Or does Manchin actually care about mean tweets?

:barf: I hate corporate apps that try to lecture you about saving, as if personal responsibility is the problem and not systemic loving over of the poor, so that cocktail-swilling suits can feel better about themselves.

Yeah I love those bank ads that help you "build good saving habits" by depositing 1 percent of every paycheck in a special savings account or whatever. Like the one weird trick to getting out of poverty is moving money around between different accounts.

It might have been shut down for posing as an official government account? I wish I screencapped the one with the Khruschev quote about conquering America from within, it basically accused Putin of trying to infiltrate America. Straight up McCarthyism, but with cute doggos. Just insanely cursed.

Holy loving poo poo some Texans had their rate change to $9 a kWh overnight, and most of them have electric heat instead of gas furnaces. What a prime opportunity for the democrat party to make gains in Texas by doing direct payments of utility bills, or nationalizing utilities, or drone striking the boards of current utilities. Let's see what they end up doing!

It is pretty funny that the leading congressional socialists' response to Texas's energy grid failure is to.... raise money via charity. I'm not making GBS threads on AOC for doing that, I'm sure it has saved lives and reduced misery. Just shows how narrow the window of acceptable discourse is. IDK maybe she mentioned nationalizing utilities in a tweet or something too

Pete Buttigieg is like the ultimate example of how politicians are manufactured by the party, donors, lobbyists, etc and then presented to us as a product, rather than working their way up from city council or w/e on the merits of their ideas. I mean the vast majority of them are like that but it's so blatant in his case.

The Pussy Boss

I believe the official line is that the Dems were bluffing. They wanted the Senate to block witnesses so they could crow about the GOP obstructing justice. They thought that would be a major PR victory. Then Senate Republicans said OK, feel free to tie up the Senate for weeks focusing even more attention on this trial that everyone knows will fail.

Which of course made clear that the Dems don't really care that much about the riot that was supposedly such a threat to our democracy. But hey no one ever said they were good at politics.

Those child jails get like $250 per inmate per night from the government. That's $7,500/month. Forget hotel rooms, it'd literally be cheaper to buy them houses and hire nannies to care for them.

That's some impressive doublethink tbh. It's Bernie's fault that Democrats don't support raising the minimum wage.

The Pussy Boss
Nov 2, 2004

lol that the democrats could exert a tiny amount of power to give people a one time 2k payment and raise the minimum wage over five loving years to a level that is a poverty wage today. These things would barely chip away at income inequality; they're a drop in the bucket compared to the trillions we shovel to billionaires every year. And yet they would be a huge PR win for the party and a tangible accomplishment that every dem could campaign on. But they won't do it.

Why is Neera Tandren considered such a bad person?

She's the president of CAP, a think tank that presents itself as representing the left wing of the Democratic Party, but takes huge donations from wall street, the health insurance industry, etc etc. and supports cutting Medicare and Social Security, opposes UHC, and a bunch of other lovely positions. Her job is basically to defuse leftist energy and direct it towards supporting centrist Democrats.
