We seen this coming miles away. In fact, many on here were predicting that after Biden won, they would completely take the check out of this bill.

I'm guessing this is what Biden is referring to in his tweet whining about people wanting handouts?

"People aren't actually hurting"

I guarantee you after this shit passes next year, you'll be hearing people speak fondly of Trump along the lines of "Yeah, he was a dumbass reality TV star, but hey, I got a stimulus check from him. I ain't getting anything from Biden."

      Same here. I needed this to get my mouth worked on. I have needed since July and August to be realistic cause I can't afford dental surgery. What began with an abscessed tooth manifested into ulcers and now I barely have anything of a tooth left just trying not to get another infection. I'm fucked now and I know I'm not the only one suffering, but according to Democrats, people aren't actually hurting.

      At least then I thought maybe the democrats could do slightly better.

      Hahaha, this girl still had hope for the Democrats. :michael-laugh: :che-laugh: :capitalist-laugh:

      Seriously though: Both parties fucking suck.

      God she just gets fucking worse day by day. Everytime I hear/read about her its just her being delusional about helping us at ALL. She's a god damn monster and I don't even know if she knows it!

      Exactly, the rent and mortgage referendums are all expiring very soon and and this country is gonna get a whole lot uglier soon with housing, people out of work and the huge spikes of covid we most certainly will have after the holidays. A lot of apolitical people or otherwise easily swayed will be wondering what good a democrat president is if the last republican actually fucking did something. Trump was egotistical as fuck but him having his signature on those stimulus checks was a incredibly smart optics move.

      My prediction for the Biden administration is slowly coming true. They’ll get in and do next to nothing just like the 2008 crisis. At best, there’ll be some inadequate stimulus bill that gets passed and then they’ll just wipe their hands of the entire thing. Anemic job growth and general suffering for the mass of the population once more until the next crash happens.

    Its very frustrating. Like if we had the keynsians running things they would have done massive stimuluses and kept everyone inside for 2 months and it would have been done. Capitalism had to lose its mind though and think the market would sort it out.

    I'm not arguing for capitalism to be clear, just saying there used to be less plunge into disaster versions of it

      The road to fascism is paved by liberals. The only thing biden is going to do for this country is empower the right even further in their culture war and political messaging about liberal elites sucking the blood from this country. Doesn't matter if they are both doing it, the right already has long solidified their messaging and there are sooo many people in this country who don't actually follow politics well enough to truly understand who is running things. There is only good guys and bad guys

    Can we get leftists protesting Bidens inaction and right-wing simping, please? The general public need to be taught that Biden and the large majority of Dems are not left nor liked by the left. Maybe if the left starts protesting Biden AND the GOP we can clean up the damage the Dems have done to our reputation and show people that there is another option.

      I mean, sure, go ahead if you want to see how broke and vanishingly small the left really is. The pussy hat protests got a lot of milage out of being pointless and nonthreatening to capital. So the spectacle got plenty of free publicity from the media, rich white lumpen Karen's bussed people in, and they showed up by the thousands.
