When you build your brand on being The Party of Government, you're pretty much useless outside of power - is the takeaway here.

So their bold new plan is tax credits, giving the future lobbyists on regulation boards more anti-trust laws to ignore, and making drug companies stand up and say "we killed your family and hosed your dog because we can" after they price you out of the medicine keeping you and your family alive. I didn't expect anything good but was hoping their bad plans would at least be fun to pick apart. Weak. Piss weak.

Don't some Dems blame going too far left for trump winning? I always appreciated that because Hillary was a far left Marxist and it needed to be said. I personally thought she went too far with her policy to.... Uh... Hm.

rip Democrats this is pathetic it's just slightly different spin and messaging on things that have been in the Dem platform for years, and they're responding to the things people want with the most neoliberal plans possible literally giving businesses tax credits to hire people, jesus christ. and they're going to drive special interests out of power by...regulating mergers more closely? absolutely no one is going to buy this limp-noodle horseshit. hell, I think it's to the right of Hillary's messaging safely sodomized posted:https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/24/opinion/chuck-schumer-employment-democrats.html never thought I'd see the day that I liked something from Schumer better than something from Pelosi. but although it's wrapped in better messaging, it's still the same garbage policy proposals. thanks for clarifying that the "please please please hire people" tax credit will be a large one, Chuck, you stupid rear end in a top hat do you think the Republicans will remove the presidential term limits by 2024, or will they just skip the middleman and elect Bannon to the presidency?

quote:Right now, there is nothing to stop vulture capitalists from egregiously raising the price of lifesaving drugs without justification. We’re going to fight for rules to stop prescription drug price gouging and demand that drug companies justify price increases to the public. And we’re going to push for empowering Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices for older Americans. Just say you support single-payer holy poo poo quote:Right now our antitrust laws are designed to allow huge corporations to merge, padding the pockets of investors but sending costs skyrocketing for everything from cable bills and airline tickets to food and health care. We are going to fight to allow regulators to break up big companies if they’re hurting consumers and to make it harder for companies to merge if it reduces competition. Solving massive income disparity via 'making it harder for companies to merge', can't wait for to watch those young voters stream in. Also lol at 'cable bills and airline tickets'. quote:Right now millions of unemployed or underemployed people, particularly those without a college degree, could be brought back into the labor force or retrained to secure full-time, higher-paying work. We propose giving employers, particularly small businesses, a large tax credit to train workers for unfilled jobs. This will have particular resonance in smaller cities and rural areas, which have experienced an exodus of young people who aren’t trained for the jobs in those areas.

How did they manage to learn negative anything from the most humiliating political defeat in my lifetime? Seriously I don't even get it. edit: were they somehow not humiliated? By losing to Trump? Samurai Sanders has issued a correction as of 15:20 on Jul 24, 2017 |

AstheWorldWorlds posted:Honest guys, if you just hang in there you can ~change the party~ changing the dems from within is the most plausible route to widespread political change of the kind people wanna see, and it'll probably happen some day or another and then get slowly stripped away once people stop paying attention. but its only the most plausible cause the runner up "start a third party" is vanishingly improbable though. I spose the other alternative is a mass movement that pressures both parties to give the american people the basic rights enjoyed (or used to be enjoyed) in most of the first world, the only issue with that is political parties dont give a single poo poo about mass movements beyond changing their rhetoric unless there is a chance of them losing their position and power, which requires supporting some kind of political party to boot the fuckers out.
