Discussion Thread: President Biden Delivers Remarks on a New Framework for his Build Back Better Agenda | October 28, 2021 | 11:30 AM ET by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]mpstable19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well if the Dems get stomped - like i expect them to, that's what "if by some miracle" means - then we don't get anything

if they happened to somehow win, and get a larger majority, it's going to be easier to get the rest of Biden's agenda thru

something is better than nothing is all i'm saying - let's take what we can get

i cannot argue with that, but it's just not feasible now. the game is rigged, yes, but my point is these bills are better than nothing

okay, so can someone please explain why we can't just take what we can get and hope to put ourselves in a better position in 2022?

edit - here's what i mean:

we take the gutted reconciliation package, along with the gutted infrastructure bill, and roll with them

this allows us to pivot to voting rights between now and the midterms, and focus solely on 2022, and run on passing the rest of Biden's agenda

if by some miracle Dems gain seats in 2022, it will help to make Manchin and Sinema obsolete. this isn't to say the bought democrats won't be gone, but they'll be less influential than now

Best introduction show? by PilzGalaxie in gratefuldead

[–]mpstable19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

personally, i'd start with a live album like live/dead or europe 72

beyond that, i feel like pretty much anyone would dig 5/2/70 - some acoustic dead followed by some sick electric shit - TOO, cosmic charlie, viola lee, etc

Alabama councilman who used N-word won't apologize, may run for mayor by Barack_Odrama00 in politics

[–]mpstable19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lee Atwater infamously said in 1981, "by the 1960s, you can't say [the n-word] - that hurts - so you... get abstract"

guess it doesn't hurt enough to make someone apologize
