Now now, not no reason, they needed to limit eligibility to save 12 billion in a 1.9 trillion dollar bill because fiscal responsibility is important, dammit.

Ahh yes, the ever popular “bankrupt the country” bullshit. I mean, it’s only popular when there is Democratic control of the Legislative and Executive branches of government.

What the Republicans call socialism, normal people just call society.

They think government is there to hurt the people they hate, and stay out of the way when they’re doing the hurting themselves.

I gotta say that when you’re a Democrat from Ohio and you’re on TV the caption will read (D-OH) and all I can think of is Homer Simpson.

It’s a shame that some moderates fought so hard to make this bill help less people for absolutely no good reason whatsoever (also, we should remember that it was moderates who threw tantrums and held this up for no reason, and progressives who swallowed hard and accepted the bitter pill of seeing key priorities…

sorry, OEM be damned, I love those wheels.

It’s probably them being petty but it depends on what system they use to print checks. It does take time to load the signature template and get it all approved.

Hmmpf. Don’t insult the dogs by comparing them to Republicans. I can understand the younger one’s freakout....the number of people he’s interacting with daily has gone up by a couple orders of magnitude; his mom’s super-busy; his dad comes home from work smelling of all sorts of weird strangers.  I’ll give him the…

How we know he wasn’t sniffing out the Ops?

Democratic Party’s willingness to self-implode rather than cede any power to the left.

One more because Twitter is expressing it better than I ever could.....

The danger of Carlson isn’t racism. That’s just one tool he uses among many. His actual job is to create mistrust and hatred among the poor and middle class so they ignore his 1% of the 1% class status and keep the wealth flowing to the top. Is racism a great button to push in that effort? Absolutely. But he’s just as…

Describing Dems as tripping over their own feet to make things better for people seems....like a generous description.  This is a wildly popular bill, across partisan lines, and yet Dems put up basically zero fight when a couple moderate Dems pushed to make it worse for no good reason. 

False. We won specifically because indigenous people in Arizona and black people in Georgia turned out the vote. This white fantasy that we need to cater to moderates is just an excuse for not wanting equality.

We got Trump out, but this is the cost. We can’t pretend that this isn’t the trade-off Progressives warned of when Biden won the primaries. Either we get Trump out by catering to moderates, or we risked him for another four years.

How quickly? Four years? And no one thinks it’s a silver bullet. No one thinks “Wow, if we only made the minimum wage the equivalent of a $30,000 salary all problems would go away.”

The people you’re talking to aren’t the people who are going to cost Dems Congress in 2022 and the presidency in 2024. It is going to be people who voted for Dems because Dems promised to make their lives better and then are going to look around and see a bunch of half-filled and unfilled promises. Of course I’m going…

back to hell next year and then when you thought it couldn’t get worse... 2024! i will always vote blue because it is much better than the gop having unlimited power again. i’m already seeing so many people not wanting to vote and not caring if republicans take over because the dems didn’t go through with every single…
