I was watching the Good Place, excellent show, and I realized oh, this must be what it's like for people who finally realize that Dems are actually bad.

Lumpen Voter: Finally, we have a good president!
Dems: Does the good things but makes them lovely while giving lame excuses like we can't because of 2 Dem senators in secure seats said no.
Lumpen Voter: Hey! Everytime we can have something good, you make it lovely. It's a little too convenient that you always have the same few excuses. We aren't in the Good Place... We've been in the bad place all along!
Dems: Chuckling in an evil manner


idk how far along you are but be prepared for a direct allegory to the dnc later in the show, funny how it seems to be the least memed Schur show

The window for containment has passed, we have to open up. Saving lives was never a goal. Of course it makes no sense that you can safely work for 8 hours but cannot work out for 20 minutes, you're not crazy if you cant reconcile those two things. If you wanted a competent response you should've been born chinese. Time to die.

If the vaccine isnt a necessary part of any mass gathering plan, and I'll reiterate this this is basically so obvious as to be a tautology, then why did congress rush ahead of the line to get theirs?

It has a lot of great formats too, like "Jason got it? Jason?" And "Ok but that's worse. You do know that that's worse, right?"
I've seen leftists use both over the past year so. The Jason one with Tucker instead of Jason for example.

I mean I'll never vote for a republican but so far Trump's response seems to be better than Biden's which is incredible.

Saying you're considering voting for a Republican is a very reliable way to get Dems to listen to what you have to say, and is a good tactic if you can frame redistributive policies in ways that avoid the big red flag words for chuds and libs

I mean what's voting for them loyally and without demand gotten anybody? Worst case scenario of voting GOP is you have exactly as much access to the administration if you're at socialist lol

edit - most critically you only have to say it, how you actually vote is entirely irrelevant, do it or don't it doesn't matter

It's amazing that Trump plus a Republican Senate got us 1800 + 600 in unemployment supplement, and the D's with control of Congress and the presidency are negotiating down from 1400/400. I just have to laugh.

even funnier if you consider that it's highly likely trump wanting to have his signature on $1800 cheques to every american probably factored into that even happening

dems would consider such actions demeaning and populist, obviously beneath a true patrician politician like biden

The past month has proven to me that our covid response was always going to be this awful (even ignoring that Cuomo actively let tens of thousands of patients die in nursing homes) and that, if anything, Trump being president may have tempered the culture war surrounding masks and lockdowns. Imagine how awful the chud backlash would have been had Hillary been president.

it's amazing. if they really wanted to means test it why not just claw it back in the 2022 taxes. why means test in a way that completely ignores the whole pandemic?

they're not stupid, they're not controlled opposition, they're both.

even better is that the minimum wage hike (over the next 7 years) will be taken out of the final bill because democrats are too afraid that Manchin can't sell "We're going to make sure you get paid more" in one of the most impoverished states in the country.
