Republicans are giving out steak dinners to poor people and liberals are like, best I can do is righteous indignation.

    So liberals still believe CNN when they pass off nationwide price gouging and collusion as inflation? That's bleak

      The person running this account screams op, and the podcast is pretty much a DNC cutout. They're a veteran that is purportedly embedded within the intelligence community.

      One of this person's twitter threads from 2020 claims that they were a Bernie delegate that got completely duped by Russian propaganda and hardcore Berners, and so decided that actual material policy didn't matter as much as vibes. So what else to do when you have this convenient background narrative? Start a Russiagate podcast, and scold people for not holding Biden to account while taking full advantage of loan forgiveness yourself, and leading people astray from focusing on actual material realities like rising inflation.

      Laughable shit

        That thread has her saying that words like "neoliberal" and "corporate dems" are Russian propaganda. Liberals love to say "nobody really thinks that" when you bring it up while threads like this have thousands of likes and retweets. It may not be the majority but it's definitely not some tiny minority.

      @MuellerSheWrote is a turd...

      THREAD: If Biden forgives $10K in student debt, and you have decided you won't vote for democrats because you want $50K, I have a favor to ask. And I'm being 100% serious. 1/

      Call up a parent of a slaughtered student or a loved one at Robb or in Buffalo, or...

      Toxic tweet thread

      But - of course - the libs don't care...

      What?! "Gill, a disabled veteran, is one of more than 500,000 borrowers who had their student debt forgiven under the Biden administration's" YOU got your $54K PPP and $73K STUDENT LOANS forgiven too? Get the fuck out of here!!!

          Ninja edit

          April 30th - WaPo White House economics reporter...

          Scoop: White House looking at $10K or more of per-borrower debt forgiveness for earners under $125-150K single/$250-300K couples prior year, per sources

          Overwhelming majority would qualify

          No final decision on amount canceled or means test

          Tweet

          Means testing debt forgiveness would be a total fucking nightmare and idiotic beyond belief. So - I think Biden's gonna do it for $10K or even less.

    As someone who works in advertising, I really want these fucks to calculate the conversion rate of CNN segments before they get mad. How many net Dem voters do they think another CNN January 6 segment will spawn?

    And I love how these libs chastise CNN for chasing ratings rather than broadcasting what is important, as if this Trump cabinet bullshit would be vital information to the world otherwise.

    This is the podcast whose host made a terrible post shaming people for wanting more student debt relief.

    Also, what a cursed ass thing to shape your brand around.

      There was an article about how the GOP is setting up events in poor minority neighborhoods and giving away free dinners and holiday gifts and things.

      Democrats are mad that the Republicans are “bribing” the voters . They themselves would never go so low as to offer material benefits to their voters, democrats only eat shame

        GOP shit like that literally is a 'bribe' as in one-time benefits for short term political clout they'd never put material aid on a regular systematic basis---i mean the democrats won't either yankee politics are so fucking dogshit

          Thing is that works. It's despicable when it's the only thing your gonna do (i.e. give them steak then dole out more austerity), but when the opposite party has done not just jack shit but is currently being blamed for the rise of COL and not even being concerned about baby formula running out or school lunches for poor kids being cancelled soon then it's about time to admit that the Dems just aren't willing to fight for votes via material benefits (saying this to a lib will cause them to shit themselves in protest). Material benefits = shit people need to survive and so is at the very base of their hierarchy of needs!

    Unless you work for mueller she wrote, I don't think indictments of obscure former presidential staffers is going to pay your grocery bills.
