Dems should’ve tried harder to win the senate by just supporting weed legalization
Wapo can try all it wants but capital fucked up and everyone is perfectly aware the stimulus check and unemployment are the only meaningful part of these bills. You cut those out and people will gladly kill the entire bill to spite the rich.
It’s honestly kind of funny how dumb they think people are. Even then, most people are aware that the stimulus is just money laundering for banks so tenants can pay their landlords and landlords can pay their mortgages
idk. this past week libs on reddit were all saying thry should pass it for the unemployment benefits. maybe just astroturfing though
Why the fuck does any one that part here look at r politics. It’s astro turfed. There are very few actual people posting there
nice nonbiased and nuanced headline there

Fuck the dems. I hope Sanders fucks them the whole time they are in office.
Dems take Georgia, but Bernie becomes the new Mitch McConnell by being the only swing vote in the Senate? Highly unlikely but it would be hilarious.
I mean its not crazy, thats what Joe Leiberman did in 2008 expect it was to push Obama’s agenda right. Although if Bernie tries it, the Dems will be very happy to just throw up their hands and get nothing done.
It’s the “what the fuck does he have to lose?” argument I’ve seen here and basically everywhere forever. He’s almost 80. He’s never going to lose in Vermont. It’s almost as if telling the Democratic Party to go fuck itself should have been his strategy all along.
I have no idea if it’s true or if it’s what motivates him, but I trust the argument that the reason he’s being conciliatory is to pave the way for future Berniecrats (like AOC). Even if Democrats stab him in the back and their lesser minions spit in his face, because he plays ball, he gets a modicum of respect and recognition, which will carry over to other leaders who espouse the same brand of politics.
My hunch is that he might accomplish more by burning bridges, by going directly to the people, by actively breaking the Democratic party apart, taking as many progressives along as possible. Because they’ve already launched almost everything they could at him. If they fired their last shots, it might backfire with the people seeing through it.
But then again they ratfucked and smeared Corbyn to the point that your average lib thinks he’s beyond the pale, so maybe Bernie is doing the best he can under the circumstances.
