Remember when the Biden campaign made a promise about universal childcare or something and now no one has mentioned it in probably over a year, good times.

he also talked about putting the corporate tax rate to 28% from 20% (trump lowered from 35%). seems like it would be an easy win, to revert trump era poo poo, to address the debt, to offset stimulus costs. but,

Hey,

One month ago today, I was elected to serve as the chair of the Democratic National Committee. And ever since, I’ve been fighting to make sure our party has the resources it needs to win everywhere -- even where the odds might be against us.

Over 100,000 members of this grassroots team have renewed their membership to the DNC since I came on as chair -- and I couldn’t be more grateful for them. But, according to our records, you’ve yet to do so.

Republicans are already throwing everything they can at us to defeat our slim Congressional majorities in 2022. And if that happens, President Biden and Vice President Harris’s agenda won’t stand a chance in Congress. That’s why it’s so important to renew your commitment to our party at this moment.

We must build a Democratic Party capable of fending off Republican challenges early on, while there’s still enough runway ahead of us. We won key races last year -- from the White House to the Senate to state house races -- because of crucial early investments made by valuable members of our party like you -- and we’re relying on that same level of support to make sure Democrats come out on top in the years to come.

Donate $7 now to renew your DNC membership and reserve your Official 2021 DNC Membership Card. Your generous support will not just help defend our majorities but build on the long-term strength of our party in the years to come.

DONATE: $7

DONATE: $10

DONATE: $25

DONATE: $50

DONATE: $100

Donate another amount

The fate of our country is dependent on our party continuing to elect strong Democratic leaders at every level of government in every ZIP code. I’m counting on valuable members of our party like you to make that possible by renewing your membership today.

Winning in all 50 states and the territories is well within our reach, but it’s going to be costly. So, I have to ask: Will you make a $7 donation to renew your membership to the DNC today? We’re counting on you to be the difference-maker in elections this year, next year, and beyond.

Thank you for all that you do,

Jaime

Jaime Harrison
Chair
Democratic National Committee

P.S. Your renewed support today will have an exponential impact as we protect and grow our Democratic majorities in the years ahead. Chip in a $7 donation to renew your DNC membership and be a part of this crucial early work.


Love to have a political party that operates the same way as a multi-level marketing scheme

Arguing a.k.a. being mad online accomplishes a few things:

1) It gives you a chance to polish your rhetoric and build confidence for real world engagement.

2) Some are skeptical, but it really does educate and radicalize third-party observers.

3) It's entertaining.

It shouldn't be all you do unless you can't do anything else, but it's not worthless either.

serious mode on!

it's not that ideas don't matter, it's that they are not prior to experience. that is you don't start out being able to have any idea you you want, you have experiences which determine which ideas you can accept. if you've been in a concentration camp you can't find beauty in german immediately after you leave, and it has nothing to do with the potential for beauty in the language

this is why the revelatory idea of truth is flawed, and why you can argue with libs all day about how things are evil and it just bounces off. it's not that you just haven't found the perfect argument yet, it's that conditions in the person's life weren't such that the idea can be accepted. conditions can change, so you can't write everyone off completely, but you also can't force anything

you don't have the power to move the rock up the hill, all you have is the ability to shift the course a little when it comes down. this can still make a vast difference in the outcome, but it also means you are unable to choose when anything happens

In this metaphor the rock represents time and it is sentience that gives us the ability to consciously direct the course so that it continues down a different path later. If each person is like a sphere of influence; like a bead on the line and/or a drop of water on a leaf - then their influence along gravity's direction in the case of the leaf is influenced by their mass and velocity. These are conditions of particles and so we go back to the infinite and singular first movement(s).

OTOH having the police perform social services like delivering food to the elderly is what they should be doing instead of shooting suspicious minorities so I’m not going to even pretend to get upset about it

Gonna be super honest here: Biden isn't already worse than Trump, but he won't be much better given the stuff he has already done / refused to do, and he has the potential to be worse since he's more likely to play along with the military

Like, the auto-win button before the election was "kids in cages" but Biden is building more cages for more kids so

Trump sent the 1st checks because he thought it would help him win and then after the election the checks had no chance to actually pass and he was loving with McConnell. If you think Trump gave a poo poo about helping americans you're a mark. (Not that Biden gives a poo poo either)
