          Absolutely correct. I'm really pissed that Putin is once again getting away with election fraud in the US. He used his vast bot network of Russian trolls to propagandize just the right people, resulting in Hillary Clinton being kept off the ballot for 2024. I will not allow genocidal Russia to dictate the course of our democracy, so I'm going to write in Hillary Clinton when I get my ballot in November. If all these genocide denying tankies on Hexbear weren't positioned next to conservatives on the fish hook model, they'd all do the same.

        Even if I took for granted the horrible lib assumption that Democrats and Republicans are not fundamentally two arms of the same party, this rhetoric still wouldn't make the slightest lick of goddamned sense. All the Blue MAGA "vote blue no matter who" shit is incomprehensibly poorly thought out. Why the hell would you be actively telling the Democrats they unconditionally have your vote? Do you think they are your friends? Do you actually believe they care even an iota about your rights and well-being if you aren't rich? You are literally just loudly telegraphing that they do not need to worry about actually representing your interests.

    Bernie continues his performative kabuki. Not only is the bill DOA now. Even if the dems and Biden win in November - the bill will still be DOA.

      I love the Janus-like face of the Democratic Party. One face promises us all kind of concessions while the other cheerfully whistles the Deficit Rag.

    Laughable. 11th hour carrot dangling. A real Lucy holding the football maneuver from the great socialist flypaper.

    Tell ya what, libs. Maybe you'd actually pass this and the 4-day work week BEFORE election day and maybe I'll vote.

    That's my compromise.

      maybe-later-kiddo: "I'm sorry, but I have to vote with republicans this time because we can't afford to alienate the working class in an election year! Doncha know the working class loves their bosses, and if they could work a 6-day week they would?"
