    Democrats hate being progressive publicly. So no, they won’t do it as they should for fear of losing megadonors. See? With Citizens United, we all lose!

        At ease, Ensign. College debt, affordable care act, child tax credits, all things for the working class. I get they fucken suck, but they do better than just preaching trickle down like the rubes.

          College debt - they didn’t even vote on it, making it easier for the courts to dismantle.

          ACA: no public option, it further entrenched the abusive and useless insurance industry and it was 15 years ago. How much longer do you intend to coast on it?

          Child tax credit: the one that Manchin killed?

            child tax credit looks alive and well.

            The ACA sucks but its the only reason I even have insurance to get my teeth cleaned and shit.

            College debt - they definitely cleared a lot with it and did what they could. You not happy that they still helped? It has to be perfect or its absolutely dog doodie poopy stinky ew how did you not dismantle private healthcare in one term?

            I get it, I’m fed up and went to the socialist party. But complaint about shit that did in fact help people is brain dead. Dont expect a 180 from neoliberals, but its great they tried in their own way.
