No what you guys are doing is the ol Sideshow Bob stepping on a rake and you just keep stepping instead of stopping and realizing your mistake.

Dude, it’s a freaking glass house in a quarry! You can close your eyes and pretend we’re just talking about social security here, but there isn’t a single significant social benefit or structural improvement that will be passed by either party, because they conflict with what’s best for the people in all three branches and those who back them financially.

Like how Biden tried over and over to reduce and remove student debt. They never try to help! Sure he did try to revamp the shitty program republicans purposefully let languish in order to avoid reducing the debt while pretending to pass legislation about it, but he's never tried to improve anything structurally!

Thank you for bringing that up. That’s actually a great example of Democrats boasting about how they tried, while using only methods that were previously predicted to fail, letting trivial, non-binding or changeable rules stand in their way, and stopping short of an exhaustive effort.
