*stares in Inflation Reduction Act*

Imagine literally any Democrat courting the Green Party the way Trump courted the Libertarian Party

They wanted the Keystone XL pipeline shut down. Biden shut did on his first day in office and the only people who talked about it afterwards were right-wingers outraged.

The problem with being transactional is it requires the other side to acknowledge you gave them what they asked

“the "Biden did all these populist left policies and it didn't matter" new conventional wisdom elides that Biden's agenda became exclusively antitrust and econ nationalism to beat China. there was no welfare state expansion or anything the "populist left" actually cared about”

Bruh lol

God, you people are defective.

stares in expanded CTC which was basically UBI

a world where Dems get more blame for the expanded CTC failing than they do credit for it passing in the first place is a terrible incentive structure

cookiebot.bsky.social•41 days ago

IT EXPIRED lol

redoubters.bsky.social•41 days ago

yes because they failed to extend it

you realize you're literally doing the thing that i call out in my post

I was watching closely to see how much they pushed the success of the enhanced CTC in the midterms and they just didn't. They could have run hard on how great it was and how Republicans killed it. Instead they seemed to not want to mention it. Fatal error.

Expanded CTC wasn't all that popular either.

scottsantens.com•41 days ago

It was with those who got it. As were the stimulus checks which Biden also now regrets not taking credit for as Trump did.

Gotta stay true to the brand.

It does make sense that someone who spent a lot of time on Epstein‘s plane would make common cause with the political party, composed of the highest number of people who voluntarily memorized age of consent laws by state

lfschleusener.bsky.social•41 days ago

Conversely, there’s no incentive for Joe Biden to affiliate or make common cause with a “political party” led by a Russian puppet, genocide denier, and noted transphobe.

Ken been nihilistic lately

jmteo.bsky.social•41 days ago

I can’t fully tell if Ken is purposefully or unintentionally obtuse

aliceinkeynes.bsky.social•41 days ago

Ken can't help being a ratfucker on days ending with "y". He deserves a little slack.

Green Party is indifferent to climate change though. Libertarians sincerely wanted to get their Internet drug dealer / would-be mob boss out.

This is the funniest thing I have seen today.

Donald Trump will make it so your wife doesn't have to use a car seat but Dems won't even consider making it illegal to have a boss.

various-threnodies.bsky.social•41 days ago

not a lot of incentive to court these people when they shit on you even when they get what they want, is there
