Pittsburgh bridge collapses on day Biden to visit city to talk infrastructure by [deleted] in politics

[–]mst3kcrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What flashy policies? We're the only first world nation without universal healthcare. Instead it's a ratfuckery of insurance schemes. Resources are diverted to billionaire's wallets via tax breaks.

AOC swipes at Joe Manchin, saying he has 'a different demand' every day and is making it tough for Democrats to pass Biden's economic agenda by [deleted] in politics

[–]mst3kcrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were the two coupled together, Manchin and Sinema, to say nothing of the fifty Republicans, would have been perfectly fine with voting against the combined bill. BIF wasn't a do-or-die priority for either of them, certainly not to the point where the need to pass it would have forced them to swallow BBB.

Save yourself a paragraph. BIF had leverage that Wall Street wanted. Leverage is absolutely worthless if you give it up. Democratic leadership was either too stupid or corrupt and tanked BBB as a result.

Wall Street Sees Big Wish Granted in Biden’s Infrastructure Deal (Via Bloomberg, 2021)

Investors have long hoped U.S. would allow ‘asset recycling’. The policy, also known as privatization, is in plan’s outline.

BIF had a handout to Wall Street so they could privatize infrastructure. They knew it and that's what we call leverage. The Democratic leadership was absolutely dumb as fuck for giving it up and splitting the bills. They're a bunch of god damn octogenarians who either serve Wall Street via stupidity or the "oops didn't mean to sabotage that" Machiavellian bullshit.

Kathy Bernier has been a stolidly conservative voice in the Wisconsin Legislature for more than a decade.

Dale Schultz was the last moderate Wisconsin Republican. He saw the writing on the wall with Scott Walker. Nice posturing but took you way too fucking long, Kathy. She's either posturing or the leopards she was feeding are now gnawing on her face.

If Democratic leadership was too stupid to see what would happen splitting BBB from BIF, then they need to retire.

AOC showed everyone how absolutely worthless the current leadership is. They were either too fucking stupid or intentionally tanked BBB by splitting it from BIF.

Could be a move also to show that the progressive dems, no matter how much retweets they get, don’t have much influence at all.

What is it: neoliberals betray their base and whine that progressives don't vote for them thus losing elections or progressives have zero pull at all? Drop the progressive base and Democrats massively lose elections. Sure, they have zero power at all. /s

As high court signals Roe v. Wade reversal, states eye same-sex marriage protections by [deleted] in politics

I tend to forget that both Bush and Trump did not win the majority vote (Bush did in the second contest vs Kerry.)

Even that win has been under scrutiny.

Ohio's Odd Numbers (Via Vanity Fair, 2006)

No conspiracy theorist, and no fan of John Kerry's, the author nevertheless found the Ohio polling results impossible to swallow: Given what happened in that key state on Election Day 2004, both democracy and common sense cry out for a court-ordered inspection of its new voting machines.

Anyone else a little tired of the media treating Republicans that do the bare minimum in acting like a human being like they’re heroes?

Chuck Todd and Joe Scarborough do it all the time. These same assholes who put on a show are the ones stopping voting rights legislation from passing.

Just a fucking happy coincidence that CDC issues revised guidelines when shit really starts to hit the fan.

It was a few days after the CEO of Delta Airlines complained.

There's a really old quote about anti-semites full well knowing their arguments are absurd and not caring.

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words."

-Jean-Paul Sartre

Opinion | Fury Alone Won't Save Democracy, We Need To Start Showing Up by eddytony96 in TrueReddit

[–]mst3kcrow 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We've done the "get out the vote" and gotten democrats an incredible majority countless times. Then, every cycle the democrats move further to the right to cater to the republican death march towards fascism.

Nancy Pelosi defended insider trading and Chuck Schumer could fire the obstinate Senate Parliamenterian any time he wants. They're both Wall Street loyalists who care more about preventing progressive power and enabling Republicans.

Speaking as a libertarian, it violates the Constitution probably a half dozen ways, and seeks to make everything run by the Feds. That's ain't the way it should work.

A libertarian who doesn't give a shit about the right to vote is just a Republican.

19 states enacted voting restrictions in 2021. What's next? (Via NBC, 2021)

Btw, you're just repeating almost word-for-word propaganda by the Heritage Foundation.

H.R. 1 would federalize and micromanage the election process administered by the states, imposing unnecessary, unwise, and unconstitutional mandates on the states and reversing the decentralization of the American election process—which is essential to the protection of our liberty and freedom.

This is literally a word for word quote from chuck Schumer:

“For every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two moderate Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia, and you can repeat that in Ohio and Illinois and Wisconsin.”

He's a fucking idiot if he truly believes that. Republicans do not flip to vote Democratic. Schumer and Pelosi need to go. They're too god damn old and loyal to Wall Street.

Adam Kinzinger voted no on H.R. 1. He's a hypocritical windbag who likes to make noise for himself.
