One of the most sinister elements of the Democrat party is instead of taking responsibility for their losses they blame the people for not showing up to vote for them, yet when Democrats have power they don’t show up for the people and pass policies that will improve our lives.
@PRKF3TR@thegal_lele@KeeKior @goosSSB @Fakec0nspiracy @srslyberserk How is being a chef at an upscale bistro that charges $20 for appetizers (starting), up to $2k for steak... and it looks like bottle service up to at least $19k... not a skilled profession?
@MatthewREHayden@AbhorsPolitics @srslyberserk Besides everything you're wrong about, that everyone else has refuted...
"He has to pay taxes on his profits"?
And if he pays his workers more, that's less profit to be taxed on. That's not a valid excuse.
Do you really think like this? Going to bat for an luxury bistro?
@Got2BeMyself@CoriBush Once again, you're not paying anyone's debt.
And ma'am, it's interesting that you're pro-reparations (as am I), but use the tired conservative mantra of "personal responsibility" to enable a predatory system.
You know how many nonwhite students it would help, yes?
Weird how all the “Dems need to reconnect with the non-college educated working class” punditry never seems to include supporting the huge wave of union strikes going on right now
@mars1303 @TBestig@axios "Would Bernie have been doing better?"
Bernie would've used his executive powers by now to forgive student loan debt, showing he was serious about what he promised.
Biden has backed down on everything. And gotten no votes in the process.
So, y'all were mistaken. Or lied.
@BarackObama I cannot fully articulate how much I regret voting for you. Twice.
You ran on progress, and capitulated to everything that makes the lives of the poor and working class harder.
*checks notes* And you still do.
After seeing the ruthless tactics Democrats use to stop Bernie and the left, the people who claim they are powerless against Sinema, Manchin, and Republicans are clowns of the highest order
Y'all notice that the neoliberal cheerleaders who shamed progressives in the primary, and said we urgently needed corporate centrists to get anything done...
... are the EXACT same people who are now front and center with their performative outrage?
Build back better, I bet.
@Amy_Siskind@MittRomney Lady, this is the kind of ineffectual centrist nonsense people like you desperately fought for in the primary.
YOU told US we needed corporate centrists to get anything done. Now here we are.
Speaking of sociopaths.
@TizOnly1@JHWeissmann You know... Joe Biden could resolve so much of this ineffectual Democratic failure by using HIS power to start forgiving student loan debt.
They dropped it from the bill? Start there.
If top Democrats are ACTUALLY upset over losing the billionaire tax & paid family leave because a couple of corporate politicians in their own party got in the way, why aren't they calling for & backing primary challenges to prevent this from ever happening again?
You know why.
joe manchin tanked the billionaire tax which would tax only 700 americans (it was dead in the water regardless).
there are 0 billionaires in west virginia.
@schnabel45 @GrumleyManus @scrowder 1. No, they didn't. Labor has been price fixed, so they're forced to settle for unfair compensation. That's not even getting into Elon's aggressive union busting. 2. They're not given what they ask for. 3. Well, you're wrong about all of this-- so, no.
