Uh, sure? We should have UBI, develop nuclear power programs above all energy programs, entirely dismantle the military, simplify the tax code, punish political corruption with public executions, incorporate media literacy and critical thinking into public education curriculum at an early age, and decentralize the united states government to the county level. Hmm what else, racism bad and prejudice overall bad. Sexual assault bad. Murder bad.

That was fun, now you take a position!

No mention of the Pence fly yet?

I will agree with the majority, Pence won the debate. Harris is not that great of a debater and though Pence has the personality of an unsalted Saltine cracker, he's a pretty efficient debater.

Why isn't Biden going to do anything? And is that actually nothing? Or by "nothing" do you mean "wouldn't do what Bernie would do?"

Also, I quoted Batlord, but this really goes for the lot of you.

Are you saying Biden is a populist?

Read the tea leaves? So you're a liberal psychic now? Okay, hoss. I might not be a political medicine man staring at brown water but I saw Bernie go down twice. I also see the Dems having all the science in front of them and refusing to alienate their corporate donors to do anything more than flacid incrementalism to dealing with climate change when it's clear that that's suicide but just not political suicide.

I also saw how a nation ravaged by COVID got nothing from them but one stimulus bill while people are dying and losing everything they have because the Dems don't want to give Trump any kind of victory on an election year unless it's completely on their terms knowing full well they were never going to get it. All the while Biden says nothing cause he's on the same elitist page as Pelosi is and if the country burns under Trump then it's good for them.

Maybe if I saw any sign that these scum gave the slightest **** about how their actions affected actual human beings and not just their 3D chess re-election game I'd be willing to respectfully disagree and still give them some support and benefit of the doubt. But they don't care and they all get the guillotine.

I think we're living in different realities, Batty. Good luck out there.

Lemme guess. The Republicans are the only obstructionists and it was Trump who just killed the stimulus so the Dems have no ownership?

Of the stimulus?

McConnell told Trump he thought Pelosi was playing him and he pulled the plug on negotiations, likely because McConnell wants the USSJC nomination prioritized to save flagging GOP Senators.

But let's assume you mean Democrats are just as guilty. Did you say the same thing back in the first half of the year when they held up checks to mandate that recipients couldn't lay off employees after taking the check?

Or is that not obstruction because you approve of it?
