In short Republicans are going to screw over 23 million poor Americans because they don’t want Democrats getting political credit for helping them during an election season. And because our press is generally broken and afraid of calling a duck a duck, this is going to get dressed up as a genuine concern about wasteful spending by a party that’s long been a huge fan of no shortage of wasteful spending.

Democrats might not be the ones breaking shit, but they sure love throwing a bitch fit if you say out loud that Republicans are breaking shit.

They desperately want people to see them as more than mid-right Republican-lites but all they do is roll over for Republicans, explicitly game the primaries against somebody who could win, and explicitly tell anyone left of Biden "fuck you we don't need you."

They're not just gaming them...

After Biden for his ass kicked in NH last time, the DNC said they weren't first anymore.

So the DNC stripped the whole state of delegates and Biden didn't sign up to be on the primary.

That's something trump would do. And the media wouldn't stop talking about how it's an attack on democracy. Mostly because it is.

Biden and the DNC do it tho. And it's crickets

Democrats keep screaming at leftists that we have to vote Biden because Trump will sidestep congress and start rounding people up

Oh you mean like how Biden sidestepped congress to fund genocide? Totally cool when our guy does it guys

They just repeat what their donors tell them to keep their campaigns funded. They want less regulations or nothing changed because change is scary.
