Biden dropping ball on COVID relief - no checks, but bombs in Syria?

[LV426]

see, there you go, you engage in behavior you whine about.

No idea what you're talking about.

This is my OP, and I'm here levying credible criticisms against Biden and the Democrats, who I voted for in November and again in January.

[Nordberg]

Note you all still don't have checks, but the meida isn't saying shit about it like they did with the previous administration.... I wonder why.


no I don't

I believe the 600 dollar check was deposited into my account a few weeks ago.

[LV426]

he's a corporatist, ya stupid fucking idiot. he loves war and destruction.

Oh, I am fully aware of that and it's precisely why I voted for Bernie in the primaries.

But no matter how fucking terrible, ineffectual, or shitty Biden is, he will never come close to the awfulness that was Donald Trump or Bush the Dumber.

you whined about people giving you your position, but thats all you do to others my friend.

The additional 1400? you sure?


I wouldn't know I don't qualify.

[LV426]

The $600 one...but not everyone got that check, and not everyone got the full amount.

The stupidity of that check is that it was based on 2019 income. So if you had a job where you made over $75K in 2019, but then lost that job in 2020, you don't get a check at all.

Means-testing a program is a sure fire way to make it unpopular by pitting people against one another, when we should really all be pitted against COVID and the Recession caused by Conservative policies like the 2018 Tax Cut.

[Underdog]

the 600 check was under biden? oh wait.

[Blackwater Lunchbreak]

Showing dissatisfaction with Biden and Congressional Democrats doesn't align me with Conservatives at all.

I resent that compartmentalization.

I'm not the only leftist or liberal or progressive who has been saying that Biden and the Dems ain't doing enough. In fact, I've been sending up warning after warning about the legislative strategy of Biden and the Dems.

We knew that COVID relief was going to be watered down, and that's why the FIRST legislative priority should have been the DC Statehood Act, which would have given us TWO more Democratic Senators who then could have replaced Manchin and Sinema and voted to remove the Filibuster, so that we could get an effective COVID relief bill, a new Voting Rights Act, and a $15/hr MW.

I even laid that strategy out on JPP multiple times, emailed my reps and Senators, practically screamed it from the rooftops.

But the reason DC won't be a state is the same reason this COVID bill will not be enough, Democrats lack the political will because of Joe fucking Manchin and Kristen fucking Sinema.

the fact that you think biden represents anything but entrenched power proves your basic idiocy.

[LV426]

you whined about people giving you your position, but thats all you do to others my friend.

Again, I don't know what you're talking about here because my position is that everyone -men, women, children- should get a $2K check every month until we're at 99% vaccinations, and a retroactive check for $2K a month for Mar-Dec of 2020 ($20K checks, basically).

If you're concerned about how it's paid for, then we can simply repeal the 2018 Russia Tax Cut and tax the wealth the billionaires added for themselves over the course of the COVID crisis.

The only way this economy is going to get back up and running is if it's stimulated, and the only way to do that is to put money in everyone's hands to spend.

trump was better for working class concerns. no lie.

you know damn well what I am talking about. you can play stupid all you want, I'll tag this thread for future use.

[LV426]

the fact that you think biden represents anything but entrenched power proves your basic idiocy.

In no world is there a comparison to be made between Trump/Bush the Dumber and Joe Biden.

That's like comparing a broken Commodore 64 to a PlayStation 5

[LV426]

trump was better for working class concerns. no lie.

Trump killed 500,000 people, most of whom were working class, because he couldn't stop lying about COVID.

Trump also killed 20 million working class jobs because he couldn't stop lying about COVID.

Trump is the first President since Hoover to leave office with fewer people employed than when he took office.

[LV426]

Fine! Tag it. All it will do is show that I'm not a partisan hack, and is someone who thoughtfully and explicitly criticizes the leadership I voted for, for not doing what they promised.

So yeah, tag this thread. By all fucking means, do it. It only makes me look even more credible.

your brain is a cess pool of witless propaganda.

his pushback on china was all about protecting the working class. you're too stupid to get reality I guess.
