Stupid is as stupid does.
Stop researching and give the money to grunts to intimidate and assault American citizens.
These are traitors, folks. I know it’s hard to see the forest for the trees when it comes to living in historic times, but we are literally experiencing a traitorous political party attempting to fundamentally alter our nation and recreate it in their image, in direct opposition to our founding fathers and founding documents, for the rest of our lives.
It will never shift back if these people stay in power
They’re going to burn through all of those funds in one or two pay periods, then what’s their plan?
Also, if we ever get law and order reestablished again the people who approved these transfers are going to face accountability for breaking some very clearly written laws
The next admin, if there is one, is going to spend 4 years trying to bring all these criminals to justice. They will be so burdened by this that Americans will be mad that not enough social/economic progress has been made and will vote their abusers back into power.
I don’t think there’s any good reason we can’t do both of those things at the same time, but even if it goes exactly like you describe at least trying to pursue justice will be an improvement over the last administration
then what’s their plan?
I don’t think there’s ever really much of a plan other than kick the can a little further down the road.

That’s why they’re so fucking desperate to cling to power. It’s like Elon Musk said when he helped rig the elections. If they lose, they’re fucked.
I think Dems are finally (it only took a few decades) starting to realize their opponent isn’t playing by the same rules, but I don’t know if they fully understand that for Republicans there are no real rules. It’s win at all cost no matter what you have to do.
Dems have to be very smart about how they move forward. They can’t stoop to the level of breaking laws that intentionally harm the American people, but I swear to God, if a Democrat says some bullshit about reaching across the aisle, then we’re fucked.

If the system was working as expected, it would be fine to work with republican colleagues across the aisle. But since the system is fucked right now, there’s no reason to capitulate and work together with fascist who are destroying the government from the inside in exchange for corporate donations.
Unfortunately, until campaign finance laws And the consequences of citizens United are fixed, there really is no moving forward. As long as corporations are allowed to legally exist as people, and free speech is equated to money, corporations can afford to buy politicians both sides of the aisle in every race. They get to decide who gets more money based on who will support the policies that favor them.
The Democratic Party has long been the party of neoliberalism exiting solely to represent corporate interests. Their defense of the status quo is essentially keeping the money flowing into their campaign for reelection every election cycle.
Everything they do to actually help people as in consequential and changing those facts and simply appears to be doing some marginal good. It doesn’t functionally change the issues in the broken system.
When people say the Democratic Party has a problem with optics or communicating what they actually do for the people it’s only half right. They just don’t have the backbone to spew all of the lies and bullshit as readily as the Republican Party Because their constituents, at least in the democratic cities, have a halfway decent education and won’t believe blatant lies. They know they can’t get away with it so their messaging is just as half assed as the progressive policies they pretend to give a shit about.
Good ol Johnny Moderate with a bipartisan solution slithering in with a spine of jello
Helps to think of stock market like this. Once the music stops they’re fucked. Same for private equity. Kick the can or die.
Fuck all the other federal servants though. Apparently.
