Oh Snapple! posted:they 100% regret ever loving saying $2000 and a part of me is surprised they ever did because it's completely antithetical to how they normally operate They only took it because trump forced their hand. If trump just feebly signed the $600 thing and nothing more is said, the 2K thing never comes up.

THS posted:if it was intended to be $1400, wouldnt it also have been bad politics to not anticipate the obvious reaction of people believing they had been misled? even if you were a democrat loyalist, you would be incredibly concerned that the leadership obviously hosed up the messaging, right? tbf some actually did make the argument that "even if it was always 1400 dems royally hosed up the messaging", but they quickly got drowned out by blue maga

the dems are doing there absolute best to back out of their explicit promises of a $2000 check and so far we have seen $2000 turn into $1400 turn into $1000. the commitment of the dem organization to not giving the public any relief is amazing when you consider the tradition of dems backing away from or bargaining down other proposals.

Biden in particular looooves austerity. Loves it. Like eliminating social security is his white whale, he's been chasing it his entire career Giving people any money at all is anathema to him, which is why he kept sneaking behind Obama's back to make ACA even worse, not that Obama needed much help there Yinlock has issued a correction as of 23:31 on Jan 31, 2021 |

yes anyone can serve in government that's kind of the point of having the people elect their choice of leadership. if you want to say, work for the FDA reviewing drug data you need to have an MD or a PhD or both.

hot take: the only reason they are doing $1400 checks instead of $2k is because one of the biggest voices in the Senate who supported $2k checks, apart from Bernie, was Josh Hawley, and they don't want to give him anything approaching good press after Jan 6

if anything you’d want fewer dems in congress because the pot of money from reliable donors stays the same and you get a larger proportion if anything you’ll probably luck out with a qanon freak in congress scaring everyone and a bunch of rube public donations roll in, and you don’t have to do gently caress all for them because what they gonna do? they’ll soon forget anyway

That's an easier sell to most well off liberals than $1400 = $2000. Also the Senate, outside of Mitt Romney, seems to be trying to forget about Jan. 6. The consequences of that are playing out more in the House.

Their betrayal on single payer was the single most consequential political event in the lives of my family, although I didn't know it until 5 years or so later. I can not conceive how different our lives would be if they hadn't. My hatred is pure and I will never forget.

The singularity is real, but it isn't the point where the time interval between technological advancements reaches zero and progress becomes incomprehensible. Instead, it is the point where the time interval between tragedy and farce reaches zero, and the difference between the two becomes indistinguishable.
