Can't believe this jackass keeps going back to Trump Tower every weekend instead of DOING HIS JOB

Oh wait, there was an election? It's a democrat? Oh it's so nice that he can go back home to his family every weekend.

The biggest relief program in American history (by total dollars, not per capita)!

Cutting child poverty in half!

Supporting a union!

How about a UBI for anyone with a kid and mandatory unionization, that would make everyone mad and be good, which is seemingly what the Democrats shoot for (they just always forget the "and be good" part)

the popular liberal opinion is that biden has no interest in working or talking with republicans and is pushing for total abolition of the filibuster and is going to make DC and Puerto Rico states and is proposing trillions of dollars of spending on infrastructure, healthcare, schools, etc that will fix all the problems. you can see it in the r/politics subreddit where the top-voted posts are historically exactly in the middle of the jon stewart/SNL caucus

Every single time I see someone on FB say that biden, or the democrat party, are pushing their socialist agenda I ask the person to name one single socialist policy they are pushing. I do the same thing IRL as well.

The only response I ever get is a bunch of: "I don't know, why don't you look it up?" or stuff that's blatantly not socialist at all.

It'd be great if there was some kind of class in schools where we would teach people the meaning of words like capitalist/socialist/democracy/right wing/left wing/etc, etc.

I was being very sarcastic about civics class.

While working on my small childrens graduate teaching degree I made a series of games a teacher could play with 7/8 year olds that my professor immediately recognized as marxism and called me out on it. But then he had to agree that nobody in the average school system would ever figure that out without actually knowing WTF it was.

possibly but the thing he's doing of saying "small d" or "lower case d" to say that you mean to say democratic as in democracy rather than Democratic Party is a very common thing for political commentators.

It was actually multiple games!

I have no idea where those papers are anymore. Pretty much it's just a very unfair game where it seems like a lot of fun until 1 or 2 kids get ahead and then that allows them to crush everyone else. You have to follow it up with actual explainations and lessons though to get it to stick.

Just buy the houses ASAP for whatever properties you can, don't upgrade to hotels since the supply is finite based on the game pieces meaning no one else can buy them, then just hope you can land on the go to jail space so you can be a landlord monopoly sitting in white collar prison and not land on any spaces to pay money to other players. Guaranteed to make sure no one ever wants to play again.
