Ah yes. The things dems can unilaterally provide but chosen not to! Darn those democrats!
The things dems claimed they would unilaterly provide when they had majority but didn’t because they are also corporate shills
Thanks Obama
I know the ACA is not universal healthcare, but it was an improvement. Also we were one vote away from a single payer option, but then Joe Lieberman threatened to kill the whole bill over that one provision.
You’ll always be one vote away, any time any real change is possible, like a public option, enough people will swap sides. Been happening obviously since the blue dog Dems in the Clinton years. Sinema, Manchin… Predictable.
And if you recall passing the (very limited) ACA was political suicide for the party. Voters love the law 10yrs on but they did not like it then. 2010 was a bloodbath. Any party that decide to try and ram all that shit through would be out of power and the shit would be repealed in an instant.
You don’t need better political parties, you need better neighbors. The people are the reason this country fails. Politicians just deliver the failure that we ask them for.
They did not claim they could unilaterally do it nor was there ever a filibuster-proof majority who wanted any of these things.
That somehow feels a bit racist.
It does certainly feel a bit like it’s feeding into a stereotype.
blue check liberals will see the creation of a low cost, uncontrovsial task force with legitemate motives to use art and popular culture to address mass incarceration, corporate greed in housing, justice reform and economic injustice, and be upset.
it actually is possible to do two things at once yall.
Plus Dems dont even have control of the House or Senate where laws are created. Mfs literally dont understand how America works.
Bold to say it’s uncontroversial while simultaneously acknowledging those who would complain…
Also what does it mean to “address” these issues? We don’t need awareness those on issues, which is about as useful as thoughts and prayers.
Four things that they don’t have the votes for, so how dare them try to fix something else that has serious issues
Look, trap and mumblecore are terrible, I’ll give you that, but I really don’t think that’s a more serious issue then universal healthcare…
put another way, those four things will go a much farther way to relieve inequality than… uh. what even is a “hip hop task force”…?
yes, this.
other comments ITT are doing the classic “bit” of knee-jerk quasi-racism in the form of “music critique,” while intentionally missing the point that propoganda works. supporting Black musicians in an industry that is well-established to be systematically racist is not bad.
Oh look, the only good comments are at the bottom.
“My name is Peaches, and I’m the best. All the other djs want to feel my breasts”
“Poor kids are just as bright as white kids”
This is what happened in Argentina. The Kirschner government kept making a bunch of useless SJW ministries that did nothing for nobody, to the point were it was a serious problem, and Milei ended up getting elected as a result.
Happening in Canada right now…all while ignoring the devastating impacts of the policies those committees enact.
We’re going to end up with a bigoted misogynist fuckwad as our prime minister because of it.
It’s wild that these liberals can’t see the damage they’re causing with these actions. I’m pretty damn liberal and I’m getting pushed out of the ‘tent’ because I’m not for open borders or making shop lifting legal etc etc.
