    One reason for being a little hopeful is that mainstream Democrats seem to have really learned from what they did wrong in 2009 onwards.https://twitter.com/mmcauliff/status/1355961935930544129 …

    Schumer: "We cannot do the mistake of 2009 where they whittled down the program so that the amount of relief was so small that the recession lasted 4 or 5 years. And then on the ACA, when they spent a year, a year and a half negotiating and then didn't come to any agreement."

        I'm not sure which is a more depressing future: one in which the wide-held Twitter belief that Democrats don't give a shit about anyone maintains platinum status, or one in which we can prove conclusively that the Democrats always meant well but were too stupid to wield power.

        Why are they dragging their feet on the 2000 USD checks though? It's such a win-win populist measure. Only issue is that it breaks TINA, but so does learning from 2009.

        did they though? they’re now all hands on deck doubling down on what appears to be a Biden initiated decision to cut promised aid that will be coming months later than promised, and are openly saying they’ll need to do it all via one (1) reconciliation bill per year

        Let's see if that holds true as we move forward, but I agree these statements are at least somewhat encouraging.

        'at least'?, you're a hard dude to please. I guess when your first child walks you'll say 'pretty good, I guess' Just ribbing you a bit, pal.

        Why did it take so long 4 Dems 2 recognize that the Repubs of the House, Senate, & state govts r not acting in good faith. They see only Repub vs Dem poo. In reality; if they were acting in good faith; they wldn't tell #Lies or act as if they're only serving the % of population

        that voted 4 them. They'd seek2add2 legislation that provides 4 all 🇺🇸 ppl. They wldn't try 2 exclude lrg swaths of the population. They wldn't b framing Dems as an enemy.
