Sometimes they come through. Medicare,Medicaid,Chip,ending pre existing conditions in healthcare was fucking huge
They're useless because they know so many will continue to vote for them even when they are useless.Thats why some of us has made the decision to longer do that.
The inflation reduction act? That minor thing that cropped up because of the Trump plague etc. I'm a little tied up in a discussion about whether the cat is lonely and should we get another older cat or a kitten... I say both.
Massive bipartisan spending bills is no accomplishment imo.I wouldnt have voted for Obama a 2nd time if his only accomplishment was his stimulus bill.Massive bipartisan spending bills is easy.
@Tony Stark I was over at a friend's just now (the guy who is a professional progressive campaign organiser at state level) loaning him a Foreman grill and heard his plans to impress his date tonight is to "smush in pine nuts he brought with him" into the steak. He spends a few months a year here. He would impress her more if he cleaned his apartment but apparently he has never learned how to use a manual mop and tried to Tom Sawyer me into showing him how (again) Nice try but I suggested he look it up on YouTube. Apparently it's an early morning sun problem, not a dirt problem that matters tonight. Progressives have a leadership problem.
while I agree in large part on the "meritocracy's a myth" argument, progs lean pretty hard on it to justify their laziness and lack of discipline to get shit done. Shades of "deep state" from the right....
Not about Tony but in general. It is depressing how crisply and mechanically the right weaponise ideas. Their messaging tighter, websites that actually work... Just this morning I was noticing again how Huffpost does not function on my android tablet*. Been years and it still has scripts that stall it. Won't see right wing sites with such basic issues. Traditional thinkers may not be the brightest lights but they don't let committees mess details up nearly as much. I have a similar complaint about Colombians, in groups much becomes "somebody else's responsibility" that never lands and nobody does anything. *janky on my phone too and that's a flagship Samsung but brute power seems to help it.
