I still think that's their tagline/site motto

I find it unsurprising they can't understand the dems didn't continue a policy that both was popular and helped keep children out of poverty while still arguing they're good

The extra $300 per month would be a better argument if they tried to keep it going instead of letting it lapse...

They used to run on being left then only doing extremely watered down policies.

My point is that dems are left wing because they try and push the country left.

In 2024 they ran on more war, higher funding to the military, and implementing gop immigration policy. Again after seeing how popular left wing policies were in the polls.

But yeah they're totally working hard to push the country left

When did I say it was only a year?

Never vote dems" its almost like you want a right wing government

Even with dems the usa has a right wing government.

They ban it because it says substack in the footer, so they treat it as a blog.

Dropsite news is banned but problems with radio free Asia or voice of America...

They're still doing rogue squadron??? I thought they'd canceled it

The significant backsliding on child poverty that occurred after Congress allowed the Child Tax Credit expansion to expire underscores the fact that the number of children living in poverty is a policy choice. Recently there have been encouraging signs of bipartisan interest in a modest expansion. On January 31, 2024, in a strong bipartisan vote, the House passed a tax bill that included a Child Tax Credit expansion that, while far smaller than the Rescue Plan expansion, would help about 16 million children and lift a half million or more children above the poverty line in 2025.[1] Unfortunately, the legislation has been stuck in the Senate.

It ended under Biden. They didn't continue under the dems watch.

Again the issue is the dems keep ignoring easy wins to keep their donors happy

It ended under Biden along with most of the benefit increases we got because of covid. It was bad enough to have a massive spike in child poverty after decreasing.

Lets be realistic instead of delusional so things in the real world can actually get better.

Except that's not at all the case

The extra $300 per month would be a better argument if they tried to keep it going instead of letting it lapse...

They did? Note also thought it was going to be a a south American country but none of it fit

Or anywhere in south America, or eastern Europe, or most of Asia.

Fuck we really are the baddies

Isn't that why he helped remove actual labour people to make new, now more tory labour?

Thankfully infrastructure week is just around the corner!...

Or they'll just argue those failing bridges are okay because aren't used that much

At least chuck has the excuse of age, even though he's always been awful.

Jeffrey wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Nancy

When have they gone center when campaigning and won?

Maybe Obamas 2nd term?

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Sunday pushed back on David Hogg’s effort to fund primary challengers against select Democrats in deep blue seats, arguing in favor of a more efficient allocation of party resources.

I mean this is the first line of the article where he's saying he's against progress

Don't got to political Memes then. Some of the worst propaganda slop there

Fun contrast to what's happening on bluesky
