Sorry buddy, I know you have your hand on that trolley lever but we just don’t have the resources to pull it all the way. How about we compromise and pull it a third of the way there? I’ll even let you be the one to do it!
Saw a clip about these negotiations and a reporter asked Joe Munchkin about how far he expects Sanders, etc, to come down from 3.5 trillion and he says “well what about the other side, I’m willing to come from zero to 1.5 trillion”
And I have not seen nearly enough criticism of the fact that his starting point for all this is zero.
How about you pick which limbs you want to keep?
This is why takes like “return all land to Native Americans right now” are unironically good, even under a DSA lens
because you can at best only hope for 1/10000th of your position to be fulfilled, if you’re lucky
