WYSK: There funded by dark money PACS, but some good reporting has brought out these names: David Koch, Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman, Mark Cuban, Harlan Crow, and Michael Bloomberg. Some of there members are most famous for stopping big bills. Joe Leiberman, for example, single handedly stopped the single payer portion of the ACA. Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsen Simena kept the John Lewis voting rights act from passing, and famously kept the senate from repealing the filibuster.
Lots of people say and think that Biden is too old and demented but his has been the best Democratic presidency in 50 years.
Care to say why he’s the best in 50 years ? I for one think Obama is hard to beat.
Don’t confuse president with presidency. Obama did a poor job of negotiation and was unable to achieve any give and take with republicans. Biden just prevented a government shutdown and has passed far more progressive legislation and has made much more decisive decisions. Biden’s DOD knew Putin was going to attack Ukraine for months and prepared for it.
As if that matters to a wage earner.
Under both Obama and Biden, the following statements are true for at least 40,000,000 Americans (probably a whole lot more now): You need multiple jobs to live. You can’t afford health care. You can’t afford to educate yourself or your kids. The majority of the taxes you pay go overseas to fight between eight and ten wars, some of which aren’t ours. Israel gets more in aid from your tax dollars than you do. You are never more than one paycheck away from being ruined and homeless.
We’re likely going to be an outright fascist state within the next ten years because Democrats, when we gave them power, used it to make the rich wealthier. It’s that simple.
Loool. Is this a joke?
Republican policies have destroyed the middle class since Reagan. You just said “you can’t afford to educate yourself or your kids” yet fail to acknowledge Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan.
You are complaining about problems ENTIRELY CAUSED BY REPUBLICANS yet are blaming Democrats. You call when the shuttle lands crazy man.
And we’ve given Democrats several majorities in the last four decades, and they’ve used them to empower the wealthy and kill the middle class even more. At some point a reasonable person has to acknowledge that a failure to act constitutes policy.
Biden can forgive student loans unilaterally, and he already has in the case of people who were defrauded, so his so-called plan only served to add red tape to a process that didn’t require it. Effectively, he’s running cover for his wealthy donors on this issue and trying to retain positive optics, which apparently worked really well in your case, but I’m guessing you never had student loan debt, or maybe you’d expect more than performative gestures and empty promises.
You are a shill or troll if you really think any continent human will buy your argument that Democrats are responsible for wealth inequality. Lolol.
It’s not an argument.
It’s an acknowledgement of 40 years of history and incremental progress backward. When Reagan took office you could support an American family with a high school education and one employed parent. Now, you need two post-graduate degrees to guarantee success in this country. Clinton, Obama, and Biden all had control of Congress during their presidencies. (Obama even had a supermajority for six months.)
They all had the power to make real, meaningful change. They made and broke promises. That’s not a matter of opinion. It’s a matter of historical fact, and again, a reasonable person has to acknowledge that 40 years of failure to act constitutes policy on the part of Democrats.
Just to give proof of your lies and lunacy to those that don’t know: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/debunking-the-myth-obamas_b_1929869
Student loan forgiveness is just a PR stunt if they dont also make all state/community college free for everyone
Lol. Might as well vote Republican then! They’ll make all state/community colleges free!
Why does no one making this kind of dumbass comment ever acknowledge the very obvious role that Republican obstruction has played in stopping any Democratic attempt to fix this shit in the past 40 years?
Stop gerrymandering, implement approval voting (easier for most people to understand than ranked choice), watch good legislation actually get passed.
Is this comment satirical?
