Liberals have such an obsession with talking about voting, they might see it more easily if someone said it's like marking "mixed" on "he was arrested for trying to vote" in an article about a black man who tried to vote during Jim Crow days.

that's tricky enough to be a question on a Southern literacy test

i think they want to be able to pay lip service to economic issues without their base being up in arms, it gives them a wider donor base to grift from after all, but they've cultivated a base that can't even handle that

those are two completely separate things

their donor base doesn’t give a poo poo about their economic promises- they know it’s never gonna happen. the elites were not genuinely worried about BBB taxing them, they knew only a neutered version could pass the senate. this is the dems main constituency. as long as the fat donor checks keep coming in, winning doesn’t matter, and governing sure as poo poo doesn’t matter.

their voting base can think whatever they want, the dems don’t give a poo poo. when they’re embarrassed (as they are now), the dem leadership wants the pain to stop, sure, but they’re fine distracting the pleb masses with a Ukrainian war or starving a few million Afghans to death. yeah, a lot of their voting base is getting very mad about broken economic promises, or getting mad about biden breaking his promises to help them with money or student debt relief, but all that loses the dems is votes. they don’t give a poo poo if they lose elections, though. as long as they block any challenges from the left and keep getting paid, they’ll break promises for $2000 checks (or just refuse to give any more checks) with zero fucks given. their entire motto for decades has been “what are you gonna do, vote for the other guy??”

Sounds like this is just more of the "the reason we are having bad polling is because people don't think we love the police enough due to those terrible activists" crap that they pivoted to the second they won in 2020 and didn't have to pretend they wanted police reform anymore.

Good point. Last year, Biden proposed around $750 billion in military spending, but the Democrat-controlled Congress added another $25B to that. So yeah, it'll probably be higher again.

It's darkly funny that money isn't real to the U.S. government. The 7 billion they are stealing from the Afghan people could instead be conjured from nothing.

also very much appreciating that the trump version ("in my opinion, we keep the oil because we won and deserve the oil") is terrible but the biden version ("i'm going to starve millions of people to death so that a lawyer i know who represents millionaire world trade center real estate tenants from over 2 decades ago can get PAID, bitches") is what grown ups back in the white house means
