I haven't seen Biden give any interviews about this subject so does this article just quote his twitter feed or what?

there are bulleted talking points memos, as it were, distributed directly from the WH to favorably inclined media.

that's how they come up with the same phrases & themes like "most radical change to healthcare since LBJ" and "will cut child poverty by one-half."

Also since the kid payments don't happen for 3 months but only last a year , do they stop expiring next summer? What the hell?

it's timed to expire right when the midterms are heating up, so when they try to renew it they can paint opponents as "taking money away from you."

dems like tax cuts as much as republicans; they just means-test thru parental status for them, in addition to other means tests.

It's a rhetorical trick that lets them attack critics without having to refute their points directly.

Remember when they smeared Bernie with the same kind of stories? Yang must be on the outs with the establishment media.

It is kinda terrifying that they have shifted from simply ignoring bad stuff to actively straight up doing positive opeds as news and not even bothering to hide it by using the most glowing phrasing they can. Like I don't know how you can defend that headline or the even more absurd WAPO one about showing money of the poor without at least questioning if there is a little bit of bias with the writer trying to tug you towards a conclusion.

The strategy definitely seems to be to have the Democrats presented as friends of the poor and have that hammered in as hard as possible regardless of what they deliver. I'm not sure if the end goal is trying to be the official media of a one party state or just trying to discredit actual leftist policy by overshadowing it with tax credits and one time payments but it's very sudden and very weird.

idk ive never heard a guy be told to stop talking because if that happened there's a good chance they'd go in an explosive tirade or quit on the spot, with the slight chance of going postal later. men are much more likely to escalate a conflict than women.

it’s clear she really hates the drone murders based on her twitter but her frustration with the cartoon is misdirected because she’s kinda assuming that if we got rid of gallows irony replies we would have something more meaningful to do instead.

But we can’t, there’s absolutely nothing we can do to stop the drone murders. This isn’t even like vietnam where public protests could annoy the MIC, now they’re so far removed from the rest of society we can keep bombing no matter how big protests get.

Not defending yang, even a cursory glance at the first post I mentioned it shows that I believe the bad campaign culture was real. I'm taking issue with them using only one example and it being a lovely example.
