The predominantly ludicrous lawmaker from Georgia did Biden a solid this weekend, telling Republicans the Democratic president is fiendishly attempting to make people’s lives better.

      That’s just the Democrat platform but dumber.

      I was really hoping you were gonna go with wonky new age shit.

        I wish that was the Democrat platform. The Democratic Party are a bunch of neoliberal corporatists who bend to the every will of corporations (same with the Republican Party).

        This is closer to what FDR (the most popular president in US history) had in mind, but never got to do, because he died.

        Why did you wish that I would go with some weird new-age shit? It’s not what I believe in, nor does it have anything to do with politics.

          This is largely the platform of modern neoliberals, if you take away meaningless terms like a “living wage” and make it generally less dumb

          Hillary Clinton was the first major modern candidate to push for universal health care, back in the 90s.

            And then Hillary Clinton came out against a public option when she was running against Obama in '08. It was her husband, Bill Clinton who pushed the Democrat Party to start taking corporate and billionaire donations.

            How is “living wage” a meaningless term? Right now, working a full time minimum wage job anywhere in the country is not enough to support basic essentials, such as housing, food, and utilities.

            Obama said that if he was running in the '80s, he would have been considered a Republican.

              Yeah that because Obama was also a badass neoliberal king. He also fought hard for public health care.

              Not sure what your criticism here is.

              And a “living wage” is a literally meaningless statement. Like, give it a dollar amount

              If your dollar amount varies by locality (due to differences in cost of living) then guess what, that’s also the modern neoliberal position.

              Your problem is that the word neoliberal doesn’t mean what you think it means, and your confusion is just born from the fact that neolibs don’t intrinsically hate the wealthy.
