@Upstate_Life @bilbosfootcomb I mean ACA gave like 20+ million people insurance that didn't before. Protection for pre-existing conditions seems pretty amazing, I'm really happy we have that. Didn't Biden's tax credit reduce child poverty by like 50%? I like kids not being in poverty, idk about you

@puff449935 @bilbosfootcomb the economy? It’s just Trump bad. Stale crumbs are not going to solve the problem. Actual help will.

A great step forward, all she needs to do now is build a time machine and send the law back to 2012

@puff449935 @gatorgar Sure. When is the vote to kick him out of Congress.
English

@AdmiralQuality @gatorgar Is it not just victim testimony at this point? Not even under oath? We don't even know who this woman is yet, she's still choosing to remain anonymous. How is the court case Trump lost against E Jean Carroll not a mountain of evidence compared to this?
English

@puff449935 @gatorgar Yeah. In Eric's case there's actually evidence and victims. 🤦♂️

@genocommie @wiskonesk2 @WhickTv Genuinely not trying to strawman, it just seemed like the logical extension of your argument, but I could totally be wrong. While I don't disagree money in politics is a problem, but I don't think it's even top 10 problems in our system today
English

@puff449935 @wiskonesk2 @WhickTv First, please stop strawmanning me. Second, voting has been shown not to be the most direct or powerful way to influence politicians in our current society. That would be bribery. I think it's called lobbying, consulting, campaign finance, etc.

Leftists: why dont democrats doooo something?!?
Democrats: *does something,*
Leftists: well...well...why didn't you do it 15 years ago?

@genocommie @wiskonesk2 @WhickTv I mean voting is our most direct, powerful way to influence politicians. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the entire point behind representative democracy. It feels like you're advocating for a different system, either direct democracy or something illiberal
English

@puff449935 @wiskonesk2 @WhickTv And I think you're wrong. Good policy should always be the top priority. Otherwise, you're playing team sports with real-world implications, and that's dangerous
English

@genocommie @wiskonesk2 @WhickTv Nothing is absolute, of course there are many ways. But winning elections should absolutely be the number one priority
English

@puff449935 @wiskonesk2 @WhickTv You are the one who brought up elections as the issue out of the blue. It is sad that you think elections are or should be the only way people can influence policy
English

@puff449935 @wiskonesk2 @WhickTv You are right that I don't view getting people elected as a goal in politics. I view the goal of politics as achieving a better society through good policy. Elections can be a means to that end
English

@TheeSanDiego45 @gatorgar As in dems planned to oust him? Can things not just happen anymore? Why is there always a conspiracy?
English

@puff449935 @gatorgar Speaking of that, doesn't it all seem a little coordinated? Who did he fuck over?
English

@Upstate_Life @bilbosfootcomb Where am I wrong? Unbrainwash me, I'm always open to being wrong
English

@RealStarTrump @gatorgar Conservatives have discovered morality again it seems. I'm a "blue no matter who" lib. Idc what party he's in, I fully support calls for Swalwell to drop out, and fully support Luna's bid to expel him from Congress. Now let's do Trump
English

@JustJenRX We'll take this over lunatic conservatives any day of the week. Cry more

@TerrellSocialst "Until someone offers me a six figure job, I'm going to stay unemployed and homeless. Why should I accept less than the best?"
English

Yall touted that Kamala Harris first time homeowners policy like it was God Tier🤣 that policy strictly stated that in order to qualify for the $25,000 you have to have paid your rent on time for 2 years. Meaning you must have not been late even once in 2 years. What is even more crazy is adding that stipulation right after covid, when people went through hard times paying their rent because we were told to stay off work but the bills didn't stay off of work.
English

@genocommie @wiskonesk2 @WhickTv The issue is it never seems like leftists' goal is to get people actually elected. Your focus is on clout within your own community
English

@wiskonesk2 @WhickTv What are you implying in the picture? That wanting more from your politicians is somehow wrong?
English

@TerrellSocialst If we devolve all the way to civil war, the last thing libs are going to be worried about is leftists. The reason libs attack yall more than the right does is because they know you're not a threat electorally
English

@RobPalmski @Undoomed I could be convinced on soil health, in the short term especially. What's the evidence? Also not super well read in economics, what is MMT?
English

@puff449935 @Undoomed Fair response - I suggested that soil health is more significant than climate variability and it’s an easier to win, one of mitigation. My second tweet was that government has proven it’s not productive, so MMT isn’t realistic policy: Broad money (M4) up 25–30%
Real GDP up 2–3%
