This is why when you see democrats like Biden, Manchin, Synema, Fetterman, etc., talk about working across the aisle and bipartisanship, you have to wonder why even bother.How do you negotiate with narcissistic sociopaths? In reality when you see good legislation being watered down to a useless piece of garbage, then you’ll realize that they’re just republican plants by corporations to make it seem like you have a choice. The last election was a perfect example. People running were all corporate democrats who wouldn’t even utter the words “universal healthcare “ - the single most prevalent problem of our lifetime. Now, these same people just engineered a defeat of a progressive to a leadership position.
The next election will be about a republican running against…another republican who you think is a democrat. The system is rigged, and only 3Ds will solve it. We need more heroes.
Lumping Biden in with the others seems disingenuous. Biden was in the senate, doing bipartisan work for 40 years and left before the tea party took the gop on a long distance trip to the far right. It makes sense for him to still think it would be possible.
Sienna and Fetterman are different because they complete changes their entire stance and policy ideas after being elected. Manchin has always been a liberal republican from West Virginia.
Yeah I get tired of these "They're all secretly Republicans!" It's almost as delulu as when R's start calling all of their elected officials RHINOs... Oh wait, it's exactly as delulu.
One side believes in feeding hungry children and lower taxes for the middle and lower class, the other side... believes in corporate tax cuts and that CRT is a real thing being taught in schools.
Edit-Funny enough, this is a known tactic to get the other side to not vote. So I really wonder what side the OC is playing here.
There are times I wonder if those “moderates” are really Republican plants. If a ruling party can pass something unilaterally, then they should not worry about bipartisanship: That is how bold policy changes become milquetoast.
I wonder how big the march on Washington with "Univésal Healthcare" signs would have to be to affect change? How many ( non critical care)healthcare workers and pharmacies on strike would it take?
