“yep we’re just gonna sign into a bill forcing a loan out of our own citizens, we don’t have to do something this stupid and awful so willingly but we will because we love showing our soft, yellow bellies”
it's much worse than that

Obama in 2016 signed into law a policy that a 7 member board dominated by republicans essentially undemocratically rules over puerto rico. Any budget and fiscal plan must go through them which essentially means they are the ultimate decisionmaker.

You can listen to the first minute of sanders speaking against this policy for a summary about what the bill actually is:

The Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act (PROMESA) is a federal law enacted in June 2016 by the United States Congress to "enable Puerto Rico to lift itself out of its debt crisis."[1] Through PROMESA, the US Congress established an unelected Fiscal Control Board to oversee the debt restructuring.[1][2][3][4] With this protection the then-governor of Puerto Rico, Alejandro García Padilla, suspended payments due on July 1, 2016.[3] The FCB's approved fiscal austerity plan for 2017-2026, cut deeply into the Puerto Rican public service budget—included cuts to health care, pensions, and education—in order to repay creditors.[1] By May 2017, with a debt of $123 billion debt owed by the Puerto Rican government and its corporations, the FCR requested the "immediate" nomination of a federal judge to "decide how to deal with" the "largest bankruptcy case in the history of the American public bond market.[5]

at least for Americans. Jesus Christ the broke brained democrats are really really bad.

Liberalism has reached the absolute ends of what it's capable of, which is proven by just how frequently liberals define themselves in opposition to what they believe isn't possible. The sheer amount of ego investment into being a liberal, into having it be an essential element of their identity, is bound to cause this kind of reactionary backlash. Rather than seeing it as the death of hope or whatever, we should see it as a sign that politics are moving in a decisively left wing direction and away from their control. But they will fight for that control tooth and nail, and we'll have to pry off their fingers one by one. They'll be screaming for tax credits all the way to the end.
