Harris is the one constantly justifying every policy statement in terms of economic benefit Schumer is the one constantly proposing new tax cuts and tax deductions I can see how you would get them confused.

WTF does accepting that health care is a human right have to do with the Christian Work Ethic? A minimum wage? I just don't see it happening. The Christian work ethic is too ingrained in the US. Occupational health and safety regulation? I just don't see it happening. The Christian work ethic is too ingrained in the US. Clean tap water? I just don't see it happening. The Christian work ethic is too ingrained in the US. Public toilets? I just don't see it happening. The Christian work ethic is too ingrained in the US.

surely there are many opportunities for work that are not pointless, and in fact would be very beneficial to society, but don't offer an opportunity for private capital to extract a profit

Al! posted:like lastgirl said, most of the time when large sea changes in government have been successful its been through trial and error. one of the biggest problems the dems and the left have is that we think we can actually come up with a perfect plan ahead of time, figure out all the details, get everything sorted and then carefully step forward reevaluating at every step of the process and always have a strategy to just pull the whole thing and give up so nobody has to commit to far into anything, and because we were smart enough and had enough foresight and planned for long enough everything will just fall into place mechanistically. It's the Aaron Sorkin disease, they think if we just put the smartest people together in a room they will reach the best solution which is a compromise in the center, bing bong so simple

“You just have to sort of figure out how to … balance the public and the private efforts that are necessary to be successful, politically, and that’s not just a comment about today,” Clinton said. “Politics is like sausage being made. It is unsavory, and it always has been that way, but we usually end up where we need to be. But if everybody’s watching, you know, all of the back room discussions and the deals, you know, then people get a little nervous, to say the least. So, you need both a public and a private position.”

Crazy idea: maybe if your policies are ones that don't make the people "get a little nervous, to say the least", then you don't have to have different public and private positions. Maybe you could just, you know, have policies that benefit all instead of only wealthy donors.
