It's insane how we still have to buy tiny toothpaste and take our shoes off to board a plane 20 years after 9/11, but 800,000 Covid deaths couldn't get us a temporary vaccine/test requirement to fly.
the biden administration and the democratic party as a whole are absolutely dogshit. yes the republicans are demons but democrats deserve every L they take.
@thom_m_w @Chester1z1@sephius1999@kenyonfarrow@CoriBush@clairecmc Also I don’t believe a word that comes out of Manchin’s mouth since he has so many conflicts of interest and climate provisions in BBB would hurt the profits of his family business.

@thom_m_w @Chester1z1@sephius1999@kenyonfarrow@CoriBush@clairecmc If you think there is a correlation between policy and popularity, than I don’t think you realize how our congress really works. Most legislation passed is in direct opposition to public opinion, unless said public opinion also just happens to line up with that of wealthy donors.
@ACDoyle47 @boldjarl @neighborhoodini @lacunalingua_3@AOC Nobody here is rooting for Dems to fail. That’s like saying we are rooting for the titanic to sink because we are warning about the iceberg.
If Dems are replaced by fascists, it’s 100% their fault for not giving people something to vote for. Being anti-Trump is not enough. 🤦♂️
@ACDoyle47 @boldjarl @neighborhoodini @lacunalingua_3@AOC Yes, claim credit. But don’t blame progressives when the Dems lose both chambers in 2022 and the presidency in 2024 due to Biden’s inactions. People aren’t dumb. They see the provisions getting stripped from BBB day by day, and the utter failure of Dem leadership.
@thom_m_w @Chester1z1@sephius1999@kenyonfarrow@CoriBush@clairecmc So what if some of the BBB provisions aren’t considered “infrastructure proper”, they are extremely popular across the board and would help the working class who desperately need it. BIF was basically a corporate giveaway. Thus why progressives wanted to tie the bills together.
@ACDoyle47 @boldjarl @neighborhoodini @lacunalingua_3@AOC Giving Biden credit where it’s due is fine (e.g., Covid relief, pulling out of Afghanistan). But it’s also disingenuous to paint a rosy picture of the Biden presidency when he’s barely gotten any of his agenda passed and refuses to do thing’s he could just do through exec order.
Why doesn’t Joe question how wise the wealthy will spend their money when passing tax cuts and bailouts?
