what blows my mind about the chronic libs is that they can't conceive of operating from first principles like "everyone should have health care" or "we should not have concentration camps" and working back to figure out how to get there by whatever means, even if it's costly or difficult. they instead can only look at the situation as it exists and consider, within a narrow framework and moving at a horrifyingly slow rate and with ample consideration of how to operate with respect for political viewpoints that include "nobody should have health care" and "all immigrants should die in concentration camps", how we can make a small step forward towards increasing the number of people with health care and reducing the population in concentration camps meanwhile, the number of people with health care actually goes down and the number of people in concentration camps actually goes up and the chronic lib says "what do you want us to do, just toss 'em all out into the desert?!?"

Listen, the President is not a dictator. We will get the wall soon but there isn't anything Trump can actually do on his own to make it go up any faster because he's being stonewalled (heheh) by the Democrat party. Congress controls the budget, not Trump, he can't just magically make the money appear out of thin air. These things take time, I know it can be frustrating if you're a younger voter and haven't been around long enough to actually see how these things work but it's complicated and requires a lot of political savvy and dealings in Washington.

I think this is what finally dragged me away from DND for good is because when you say "its complicated" you're just saying "heres a bunch of reasons why we are allowing this tragedy to continue" instead of screaming at the people who made that tragedy happen.

we might actually have premium-free universal health care right now (albeit with deductibles/OOPM) but no one has any idea since the system routes the payments through insurers with subsidies coming from the govt then clawed back 18 months after you set your payment schedule

mastershakeman posted:i think chalking it up to manufactured consent isn't right. there was nearly a year runup of stories in the media about how biden was too old, too white, etc, and that it would be one of the other 20 candidates for reason x, reason y, reason z. the media+party was trying to build a base for anyone they could find palatable (kamala, etc). and it just kept failing. then obama made his call, the media reported on the call, and the party loyalists agreed that yes, god-king obama must have his will obeyed and that was that. I won't pretend to have a well-read vocabulary, but isn't "the party loyalists agreed that yes, god-king obama must have his will obeyed" exactly manufacturing consent? the decree came down from on high, and the institutions tasked with laundering these decrees did just that: falsely gave it a veneer of organic consent, evidenced by the fact that liberals will vehemently deny that the decree came down from on high in the first place.

the succ is starting to creep into Nina's language more and more https://twitter.com/ninaturner/status/1371113747398467585 The message, that we should do more, is fine. But she starts out with the "cut child poverty in half" talking point, then the rest is in the same kind of soft, plenty-of-wiggle-room language that the squad started to use the longer they were in power, and Nina hasn't even been elected yet. I'm pretty confident that if she gets elected she'll be on the same track to a 30-year M4A plan within a year.

Marx Headroom posted:For real, he did almost no campaigning, especially compared to bernie. He was a joke in the debates. He had no outreach and in fact openly taunted his potential voting base. He had no flashy policies or bold proposals. His poll numbers were pathetic. Every drat thing we've been told is so important in electioneering didn't mean jack poo poo. When/if Biden finally does a press conference it's going to be funny bc his answers will just be, "look, I didn't even want to run this time, so cut me some slack" which I think he's already done a couple times
