Biden called for new spending initiatives to lower costs for health care, child care and housing and new taxes on the wealthy and major corporations to offset those proposals.
You're viewing a single thread.
Okay, great.
And if it manages to make it through Congress it will be terrible, and if it’s not terrible it will be struck down by the Supreme Court or sued out of existence or legislated against in the states.
Welcome to the separation of powers.
I’m not gonna hold my breath.
"Don't ever try to do anything positive because it might not work out" is a terrible attitude.
That's precisely the attitude people had when they voted for Biden in the 2020 primaries over all the other decent options.
That “might” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
How about this: I will eat my own foot shavings if half of this gets passed.
How much do you shave your foot? If you’re going to say this, you need to state a measurable amount
I will save my foot shavings from now on and will eat at most 250 mL (~1 cup) of them if Biden manages to get half of the things he's proposing here passed.
And I won't even sprinkle them on pasta. Just straight up with a spoon.
That's how little faith I have in our government.
And I won't even sprinkle them on pasta.
The forbidden Parmesan.
I'm saving this in the event:
1.) I remember.
2.) Any of it passes.
Thanks for helping me stay honest
Damn, bruh.
Defeatism!
I'm sorry for understanding how our government works and our nation's actual demographics.
All you're doing is approving and reinforcing this state of affairs by sharing your defeatist attitude.
If you don't like it, either try and help do something about it, or shut the fuck up.
This state of affairs doesn't need help being reinforced. It's been carved in stone and blood for 250 years. It's supported by people who profit greatly from people thinking that elections are how you change things.
Me pointing this out pales in comparison to all of that. Unless you think one asshole on a barely used social network has that sort of power, which would be fucking awesome.
Oh, so you want it to be this way? Because you're clearly not shutting the fuck up.
I forgot this is a libs only zone, and that criticism means you’re the enemy.
I’ll be sure to temper my anarchism in the future, while I watch the system you love so dearly continue to fail everyone.
Oh hey, look. You're still not shutting the fuck up. Let's indulge this conversation more.
Criticism is useful when it's constructive. When it highlights a problem in order to find a solution. What you're doing is not constructive in any way. It's equivalent to wanting us to accept this system as it is.
No one here is implying that this system is perfect or that we love it. Biden is literally trying to make a change to the failing system here, and you're lambasting him for trying. You're being entirely hypocritical.
So you can either continue being a hypocrite, or actually shut the fuck up.
Listen, dude: If you don't have enough english comprehension to understand I was expressing dismay at our system of government and not criticism of Joe "The Guy You're All Making Me Vote For" Biden, then I don't think this will be a fruitful conversation.
But if you want some constructive criticism to pass on to your boss, how about this: Turn every campaign event into a food back and free soup kitchen. Spend every dime of campaign contributions on paying off medical debt.
I guarantee that would work better at beating Trump than anything his highly paid consultants could ever post on Tik Tok.
P.S. One more liberal berating me about how "it has to be this way" will not convince me.
If you don’t have enough english comprehension to understand I was expressing dismay at our system of government and not criticism of Joe “The Guy You’re All Making Me Vote For” Biden, then I don’t think this will be a fruitful conversation.
Shills like you intentionally straddle that line so when you're called out you can pretend that you were just nebulously criticizing the state of things instead of trying to influence an election.
Here's some criticism. Biden has spent his entire term sabotaging progressive and leftist efforts.
