spacemang_spliff posted: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. he literally said paying people would destroy West Virginia lmao

Trump was also the one that brought $2000 checks into play in the first place, lmao. President Manchin is a dumbfuck and bringing the whole party down because he wants the worst for West Virginia, lmao.

Fuckin Democrats man The last time they had the majority and the Presidency they passed the most bullshit milquetoast health legislation they could. Like compare and contrast the Congress that resulted from the 2002 elections and just how severely they passed an agenda based on hate and fear.

there are actual leftists in the dem caucus it’s hard for me to come to general motive conclusions like that I mean if you mean pelosi let the vote even happen because she knew it would fail then that’s way more probably

yeah but it still seems like you're saying "Not all democrats.." as if 5 or 6 good ones somehow make the institution they're part of not poo poo. Hopefully those leftists wind up reforming or splintering the party instead of getting subverted by the machine but it's also not like we have a 20 year time table for that anymore

euphronius posted:maybe idk there's no "idk" about it, it's their favorite tactic just look at any state where they lose power, suddenly you have single payer bills passing comfortably, minimum wage hikes, all those magic money trees growing overnight and then the voters get them back into power and the first thing dems do is take out their axes and cut down the trees edit: if by actual leftist you're talking about aoc, she's spending her time killing any hope for m4a in the middle of a pandemic lol
