        they also think he's going to close down ICE camps, despite him flat out saying he won't.

          It's not about the reals

          It's about the feels

          ~

          Reporting on this crap will drop and people will just imagine whatever they want

          The only time it's real is when it happens to them or if it's being done by someone they dislike

          It's sad

        Ask the libs in your life to write down three campaign promises Biden will act on, and email that list to you. Send it back to them periodically as he does none of it.

      I'm glad they're mad and all, but damn their solutions suck.

      We really should have stopped paying politicians during this whole thing.

      That's a sure fire way to punish only the actual working class members of Congress. Most of them are millionaires, though, and would not be motivated by this.

    All of the "conservatives" here begging for checks are just playing into the Democrat's plan. Don't you understand what they're doing?

    We're going to be locked down for years. We're going to need stimulus for years. It doesn't take long to get people hooked on something. After only a little while, we'll start getting politicians asking "isn't this free money nice?" And then they'll make it permanent.

    There should be no stimulus without reopening. Get people back on their feet, but then also get the country moving again.

          The microcenter in Orange county is enforcing it and there was a 2 hr wait to get in the store on Monday.

          They did that here in Louisiana too. We barely had a month lockdown. After that, all these rules were set for stores and restaurants, which are never followed. The talks about enforcing a policy for masks to enter stores was immediately dropped.

        This is sort of the logic of the ruling class. The ruling class is aware that their plan in the medium term has to be austerity to get out of the present crisis. That renewed austerity will likely start falling into place before the need for relief has abated. They have no ability to actually meet people’s needs through the downturn, and they have an incentive to avoid the appearance that they can.

        Lol this smoothbrain still believing that means testing actually directs help to the poor more efficiently than a simple universal program.

        But obviously they tell on themselves, because they're clearly well-off and have never actually had to navigate the hellish welfare bureaucracies.

          This reminds me of on a separate thread a lib was arguing with me that clearing everyone’s student debt was actually regressive because it would benefit some rich people

      Idk why but I hate this guy & I don't even know why, felt like a year ago he'd pop in my Twitter feed with some bad takes. Is there a particular (or many) reasons this site seems to hate him?

        He's a sneering neckbeard neoliberal incel who hates trans people and thinks that one billion Americans is a good idea.

    To be faire, most people don't know anything about their democracy and let it happen to them.
