yes yes, it was because of these 4 women of color and nothing else. It's not like Biden could have forgiven every federal student loan with an executive. oh whats that? our economy depends on those loans? very smart economy.
when the economy depends on money that is irregular and sometimes just never paid, stopping further job and talent development by the people paying it.
Are you ready for the DNC mass purge after the midterm ala Labour?
Is it really a mass purge if they're only getting rid of like half a dozen ppl
They aren't going to purge them. They have the perfect set up, they can't govern because they can't win seats, they can't win seats because of the Squad. They have an easy excuse to not do anything.
Only issue now is that they do have the seats to do stuff, fortunately they have Manchin to run interference.
You are o forgetting how stupid Dems are and how much DNC donors despise them for their repeated showing his grass root fund raising can out perform big donors.
Always bet on Dems doing the dumbest most self harming possible decisions at the behest of donors.
The squad is more useful as a punching bag for the Dems in the same way the Dems are a useful punching bag for the GOP.
They ain't going anywhere, because they defuse and absorb on-the-ground anger and channel it into tweets and op-eds where it accomplishes nothing.
A purge means the democrats have nobody to blame for their self-inflicted failures.
:parenti: applies to literally everything. They got called socialist, so they are non-falsifiably responsible for every ill.
My take is that everyone who is a part of the capitalist machine but who resists it will either get completely sidelined or somehow appropriated by it. In The Squad's case, they got appropriated, but not in the "selling out to corporate interests" way (though there has been a little bit of that, see Palestine-related votes), but in the "acceptable target" way. As long as the media machine hypes up the existence of The Squad, people will think they have more influence than they do, and you can constantly run pieces like this one blaming everything that goes wrong on the most left wing elements of your party.
Hah just you wait after November. The Dems are gonna go full mask off and start “operation out-GOP the GOP” — can’t believe there’re still some masks on them, right … ?
sigh "we gotta get more racist"
Dems every time they lose an election.
I’m thinking more of a “national China contact registry” (just registry/disclosure!! You have nothing to fear if you etc etc), under the aegis of their already funded $300 mill/year “Countering Malign Chinese Influence” Program.
Yes! More of this, draw the line in the sand, purge the socdems, create a split in the party
Leave no room for collaboration, make my day neolib scum
Yeah, that’s the problem with the Democrats, what like 6 house reps have said they would like to do, not the actual actions of the rest of the party including the president.
Funny, seems I’ve seen the names Manchin and Sinema a fuck ton more than Omar and Ocasio-Cortez for the last two years, but sure, you manufacture that consent
it would be awesome if we could broadcast onto every phone in the country some backroom audio recording of big wigs planning media spin
All the chuds I know believe police departments in major cities are literally gone. They somehow believe a violent socialist revolution has already occurred in states like California and Oregon and all the public funds now go to renaming stuff and forcing straight people to be gay.
They contextualize the January 6th thing as a response to the fictional civil war that didn't occur.
My uncle the other week claimed he was a political prisoner because got banned from instagram. Conservative are having quite a time recently
Totally not the fault of a president and other Democrat' failure to do anything materially beneficial for Americans during a pandemic and economic turmoil.
It is absolutely true that the Democrats vastly over promised and talked the talk that they never intended to back up to score quick points in 2020. When every blue city mayor is talking about police defunding in 2020 and then running on "tough on crime" again in 2021 or 2022 for re-election, the cynicism in their fake politics, while obvious to everyone here, is especially apparent to voters. All the things they brought up that are only brought up in election years (student loan forgiveness, reparations, increased social services like childcare, literally anything climate related) as well as things they only brought up post 2020 summer BLM events (defunding police, alternative justice systems, etc.) were things that resonated with left leaning voters, even left leaning libs.
But now that reaping is over and it comes time to sow, the left leaning voters are disillusioned and disappointed, and the right wing Democrats who've always whined about the need for bipartisanship are blaming the promises, and not the failure to deliver.
All of this is relevant because the squad is nothing but a media narrative created to quarantine these kinds of idealistic political goals to a single vastly outnumbered group. Because they (with various exceptions) continue to push for the more left leaning political goals while the rest of the Dems do their normal post-election pivot to the right, they are left holding the bag. So all the blame on the promises (rather than failure to deliver) goes on the squad (rather than everyone who failed to support the policies).
But that's the thing, they did implement them. If one statue in the entire US was taken down, they did it. If any police station didn't get an increased budget, they did it. If one building got renamed, they did it. In fact not only did it happen, but it happening is proof that it's happening everywhere all the time. If you can't find a source saying it happened, it's a media cover-up. If you point to all the places and time it didn't happen, it's just a matter of time before it does.
Even if the premise were correct that those things hurt the Democrats, they haven't even been issues for the last two years lmao. Why would they hurt the Democrats more in 2022 than in 2020? This is so lazy.
