I'm sure the other 10% of renters will be fine and covid will just skip over those areas 🙄 That said, nothing definite yet but this would still be a significant improvement for millions of people.

    How long? Where have you been? That's been a stock lib line since the Iowa primaries at least. Take out the tankie bit and a spiritually similar line has been used by libs since at least Clinton.

      When Biden cancelled the Keystone pipeline, there was a 100+ upvoted post in here praising the Democrats. I still see "They are better than the Republicans" comments in here. Had one literally last week. They are literally doing this because it bit them in the ass.

        I mean, the dems are marginally better than the reps. That doesn't mean they're not still total shit.

          Well if you start thinking that pointing out the small concessions after getting backlashes as liberal shit then what makes you different from a literal liberal who is happy supporting a party that's essentially doing the same thing as the Republicans?

          This is exactly the same shit that "progressives" will pull off as a victory for the left while falling in line with the rest of the party 99% of the time. Nothing will fundamentally change while western "leftist" will turn a blind eye to endorsements of imperialism by their favorite socdem.
