Because of @Sen_JoeManchin opposition, the Dem leadership and White House sources tell us that the billionaire tax is all but dead.— Jake Sherman (@JakeSherman) October 27, 2021
Seriously what a fucking joke. Has there ever been a more ineffectual loser than Joe Biden?
Not that I hold any esteem or hope in bourgeois electoralism but this is what happens when you elect a wet noodle because orange man bad as opposed to electing someone with broad popular support and a corresponding mandate. He has zero political capital to spend.
Just take a random sampling of 30 working class Americans and they will tell you right the fuck away that’s needed to keep this piece of shit from falling apart
Healthcare
Decent living wages
Housing
Infrastructure repair— not even building new shit just fixing what we have
That’s fucking it. I’m not even a capitalist but for fucks sake anyone without a dog brain knows that for the grift to continue those four things need to be addressed, but instead the “leaders” are opting to let the leeches suck the country down to the marrow than give even a modicum of a concession to working people, instead opting for a descent into madness and conspiracy as people desperately try to square the circle of living in “the best country on earth” but being unable to afford basic staples.
And they want us to sit here and pretend like they’re trying. Fuck off. It’s insulting.
The oligarch’s model for development is creating walled enclaves of the rich with the entire globe looking like a mad Max version of Eastern Europe where everything is held together with duct tape. That’s THE PLAN.
"Healthcare", "decent living wages"? Tf you mean, we already have a labor shortage! You want to make these ingrates more uppity? "Housing"? I got 30 million seniors who will starve if house prices go down because their HELOC will get liquidated, what do you want me to do Jack?
But lib “progressives” like Sam Seder or anyone on TYT were going to vote blue. The groups of leftist minorities didn’t bend the knee for the most part. It’s why you saw an increase of African American and Latino support for Trump. What most of us saw here is how that “victory” was very pyrrhic in that the Democrats have cut the legs off it’s growing voter block. They did win and you’re right but it wasn’t a very long lasting win as we are seeing Biden underwater now. It’s not a win as we are not even seeing Kamala doing anything really after that disastrous Asian tour where she was brought back hella early. It’s to the point where Mayo Pete is being astroturfed back into the public eye with his upcoming documentary. Along with Obama coming back from retirement since he created this fucking mess to begin with. So yeah they won alright but we have been saying this was going to happen even back when we were on :reddit-logo:. If you could see my comments from there, then you’d see I also made this exact same comment from someone saying the exact thing. All we can do is prepare for whoever takes Trump’s place.
I'm not sure of the whole story, but I have seen a bunch of libs mad in the last couple days that Trump investigations have been shot down by Merrick Garland or something. Idk if they can really lean on that. Maybe they can but I'm not sure
I mean the neoliberal victory is total in the sense that there is no public avenue of marxism and even our most left wing politicians arent allowed to admit that a Cuban literacy program is good. Theres no actual argument in government about what to do and this bill was always going to get gutted like this because that was always the plan, we used to have small adjustments to the plan but now they wont even do that.
The idea that Manchin is to blame for killing the billionaires' tax is too convenient.
Pelosi privately slammed the proposal hard at a meeting this week, aides tell me. And other Dems are waiting in the cloakroom to kill it w/no fingerprints.
This is a fucking joke
