    It's hard to imagine any other political party in the world other than the Democrat that is so reluctant to deliver quickly stuff that they can provide which their constituents (and indeed the public as a whole) want.https://twitter.com/JStein_WaPo/status/1441433601237733376 …

        Democrats actually believe in fiscal austerity, they are far more committed to it than conservatives even are.

        the dental case is a bit complex because Medicare doesn't think it's technically able to roll the benefit out that fast

        It’s because they’ve incorporated a polity that is against doing good things and hegemonized themselves so thoroughly that you can only do good things sparingly. everything else must be left to the market.

        I still feel that pooular policies should be promoted by president and majority party in Congress in part to show that Republicans are against popular policies. But also the should promote them because they are popular Like, maybe AZians and WVians might like the policies, too

        Y'know, when George Bush won re-election and wanted to privatize Social Security, even Republicans backed off of pushing for that once people pushed back. Democrats need to capture that kind of intensity by pushing, en masse, united for popular policies that benefit Americans.

        Well, there's the Canadian Liberal Party, whose partisans increasingly look south for inspiration, don't ask me why.

        Hard to imagine, but not surprising. In almost any other country, there's no way Bernie and Manchin would be in the same party.

        This is going to be a new thing, isn't it; passing legislation on progressive goals but pushing the start date to like 2075.
