        Reality is black and white to them. Zero nuance whatsoever. Same goes for the people on here who bitch about Dems and Gaza but never acknowledge how much worse the GOP are on that topic. The Dems could bend over backward and push their whole agenda and they’d still find something to bitch about.

          We should be kind to them. They are in the unenviable position to have a highly internally consistent worldview and an egalitarian ideology that is morally quite fine, which it would be impossible to impose upon reality without first completely destroying the world as it exists, and rendering themselves monsters in the process. It’s no wonder they all seem as mad as a bastard on Father’s Day.

        I cite academic sources all the time. This post is a joke, satirizing the dem’s love of means-testing by combining the requirements from 3 proposals Kamala has made. I can show you the proposals I’m mocking if you want.

        Concessions they didn’t need to make because they had a majority, and republicans aren’t going to vote for it anyway.

          I hear this a lot – when did they have a majority? Was Sinema there? Manchin? <insert turncoat corpo-dweeb here>?

            First two years of Obama’s first term the dems had 60 in the senate and a majority in the house. Instead of removing the filibuster and doing what people voted for them to do, the dems threw up their hands and said “Joe Lieberman won’t let us give you free healthcare” and instead we got Obamacare. They then proceeded to lose the house and senate because that’s what happens when you betray your base.

            Then in 2020, the same thing played out, instead of whipping the vote and taking Sinema off committee assignments and/or prosecuting Manchin’s family for corruption unless they played ball, the dems chose to throw their hands up and said “we’re powerless!”

            When they couldn’t use that excuse due to must-pass bills like budget reconciliation, they blamed the Senate Parliamentarian. Who they appointed. When the Senate Parliamentarian wouldn’t do what Bush wanted, they replaced them with someone who would.

            The dems aren’t powerless, but there’s a conflict between the people who vote dem and the corporations who fund them so pretending they are allows them to have their cake and eat it too.
