The rail unions celebrated the victory and gave Biden credit.

There is a huge difference between union leaders and what they say on behalf of it's members and the rank and file members themselves. Kneecapping rank and files power, their only power which is to withhold their labor, is not something that is celebrated.

Yeah actually, because what we got was a repackaged healthcare bill that was written by none other than Obama's presidential opponent Mitt Romney. It was a fucking godsend to insurance companies and hasn't actually improved health outcomes for the average American. In fact if the current burnout working people in the Healthcare profession is anything to go by, this age of insurance is diametrically opposed to serving the public.

Or we could talk about Clinton's pull yourself up by your boots straps impact on social safety nets and gutting of Wall Street and bank regulations maybe?

You mean like all those other times Democrats had majorities and, checks notes, delivered milquetoast Republican bills?

This is incredible. And scary. And incredible. I would hate to be the poor sap that fell for it though, oof.

The actor who played Jet carried the show. He was extremely good.

Ah I was getting my numbers mixed. There was huge support for a ground invasion of Gaza, but Netanyahu's numbers remained low.

Legitimatlly surprised that number is so low. I know it was much higher back at the end of October.

Netanyahu wasin dire straights when this kicked off. War is good for those in power, shit is extremely reminiscent to Bush's position before 9/11. Of course it's being embraced.

I mean Sarah Nelson thought we could reduce traffic by using kayaks in Elliott Bay for freight, so she's just a font of good ideas.

Let's not forget the major gerrymandering that was done to the 3rd district to push out socialist Kshama Sawant.

You understand there are places other than China and the US right?

Nah but the libs keep electing conservative Dems.

Edit: Guarantee these downvotes are coming from people who don't live in a solid blue city. There is only one viable party so you get all flavors of democrats, the most conservative ones always win mayor and the majority of city council.

Pelosi's claim is that protestors have Russian ties, because, you know, opposing genocide is anti-American.

What's the mark, do tell.

It's a meme about the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people and Russian interference becoming a political tool like McCarthyism.

So the next election cycle is when it will be OK to criticize democrats? Promise?

Ah yes because anyone that doesn't like democrats must be republican!

Libs are such a joke, but you don't even understand the punchline.

Let's put it in and leave it there.

I just watched this video on toki pona. Really interesting in how it's easy to learn but the difficulty comes from trying to communicate complex ideas.

That's not really the problem. The problem is liberals failure to deliver meaningful change to worker's lives when they have majorities. The best they can do when they win at the ballot is deliver conservative bills in sheep's clothing like Obamacare or Wall Street deregulation.

The biggest difference is Dems ability to not run a deficit, but apparently that's to abstract for voters to care about as it doesn't materially impact them. Even then what is the point to a balanced budget when it includes military spending like this, a response like this when the free option is stopping an allies from continuing a genocide?

So many bigger issues that "calling out" hypocrisy. Truly the only thing that can stop Trump is a good headline of how Biden "slammed" him.

You edited one part of you original post while leaving the rest of your terrible take. Those last two sections are doozies bud.
