Right when he’s completely useless, he pushes for this. Pathetic and disingenuous.

    Biden had previously declined to take a position on congressional stock trading. When Jen Psaki served as White House press secretary two years ago, she said Biden would “let members of leadership in Congress and members of Congress determine what the rules should be.”

    Back when it was up for debate and the party had the numbers…

    I fucking hate how moderates waste the time for action, ignore everyone spending years demanding action…

    Then turn around like that fucking pulp fiction meme asking why no one has thought to do the thing we’ve spent years telling them to do once there’s no time.

    At best they’re completely incompetent, at worst they’re not as dumb as a box of rocks and are just incredibly incompetent. Whatever the reason, we can do better. We have to do better.

      At worst it’s deliberate decision to go for it when they know they cannot win and don’t have time to fight for it.

      This way they don’t have to ever enact these changes but they get voters to think they’re a progressive party who are pushing for them.

      moderates

      Don’t paint people who are against polarization with the same brush as incumbent old cash grabbing power hogs.

      This is a class struggle and poor people on either side of the political isle get played against each other like a fucking Stradivarius. Poor and middle class (what’s left of it) should unite, rather than fight each other.

        Unite behind whom? The fascist that hates them openly, or the “moderate” that will preserve the status quo set by the previous fascist?
