It's hard to believe the Democrats aren't controlled opposition when they choose to play the game on a higher difficulty than Republicans have for the past 20+ years.

    This is exactly what Obama did, which pissed off the Krugmans who yelled that the stimulus would be inadequate and lead to a shitty recovery and eventually electoral reckonings, which was all pretty much spot on. I can see why republicans would want to do that again, but what democrats are thinking? "We need to lose more?"

      literally unironically unsarcastically yes. that's their whole thing. thats the point of them. they're not the opposition, they're the "good cop", and we all know ACAB.
