Democrats are good, actually

SocDem progressive pragmatist. Capitalism is fine, government needs improvement (see: the Nordics).

@The_Americat3 @JustAWriter71 @RitleySammich @Ritholtz @FrankLuntz "economically illiterate" and then posts economically illiterate nonsense 😂🤣

[Democrats are good, actually @ButRekt]

@Damo0077 @Guillau48749231 @aamer_rahman Just like that

[Democrats are good, actually @ButRekt]

@MeowRuka @hankgreen Extremely untrue

A core of capitalism is rising prices create more incentive to create supply, but its currently illegal in many places

Programs like rent assistance to get people housing.

Capitalism is what has allowed us to have high homeownership rates in the first place

@GamacheWal44642 @swickl3 @JayAshcroftMO @realDonaldTrump @JoeBiden Walt, please quote where the 14 amendment references punishment on the basis of being a political opponent.

@MurseMike47 @ezlazar @NextGenStats Why blitz when a 4 man rush gets you the same pressure?

[Democrats are good, actually @ButRekt]

@TheyCallMeTomu @JennieTetreault Eh, it's tangentially related, but it doesn't teach you things like validate sources, levels of evidence, or listening to experts.

@figgityfigs @Convolutedname @nikicaga Do you not entertain the possibility that he doesn't mean literally every position exactly 5-10%? Is it possible to moderate more than 10% in some areas and 0% in others?

Do you not see that in this quote the focus is on messaging and not policy?

[Democrats are good, actually @ButRekt]

@JennieTetreault Agreed on history, but not English. If anything, we need things like critical thinking, economics, and life skills classes.

@WilliamBogy @bobbkwrds @Striders1358 @CornelWest Man, it's almost like more than one thing can be at fault...

[Democrats are good, actually @ButRekt]

@eaglzfan1967 @BlackKnight10k That's the joke...

@LPMisesCaucus @tedlieu @elonmusk @mtaibbi @bariweiss Imagine posting this unironically lol

[Democrats are good, actually @ButRekt]

@Ultimat23Dragon @TomJumboGrumbo Weird. Almost like he couldn't tweet from his regular account and had to use a different account.

@Balancement @leftcoast_sf @HillaryClinton We're talking about single payer, not UHC (which Clinton supported). So I can only assume "there's no cure for gullible and stupid" was ironic.

[Democrats are good, actually @ButRekt]

@Balancement @leftcoast_sf @HillaryClinton Yeah, that must be it. Can't be because decades of experience in healthcare policy made it clear Americans don't want single payer.

@R3sid3nt3vil4 @RandyMarshFrmSP @davidleavitt Some of those are good, and some of those are nonsense without any expert backing

[Democrats are good, actually @ButRekt]

@R3sid3nt3vil4 @Mo_Moe_Mo_ @RandyMarshFrmSP @davidleavitt But none of them have to this point, so it's a weird moot point to push

[Democrats are good, actually @ButRekt]

@R3sid3nt3vil4 @Mo_Moe_Mo_ @RandyMarshFrmSP @davidleavitt Social democracy is in no way what you described

[Democrats are good, actually @ButRekt]

@R3sid3nt3vil4 @RandyMarshFrmSP @davidleavitt And until you provide specifics of what those improvements would look like (complete with evidence), we operate under the reasonable assumption that we have the best system known and focus our energies elsewhere

[Democrats are good, actually @ButRekt]

@R3sid3nt3vil4 @RandyMarshFrmSP @davidleavitt I say that as if no one has actually offered viable alternatives, because they haven't. All of the best places to live are capitalist. All of the most innovative societies are capitalist.
