    "I hated Zohran a couple of months ago and I still think he deserves to be killed for being Muslim but he won so I’m gonna copy all his shit

    What do you mean I’m a senator and should be focusing on bigger issues like ICE murdering unarmed people in the streets?

    The Baileys never mentioned any of that, the Baileys never complain about fascism"

      Americans can’t understand things unless they’re related to household objects. E.g. spoons as a metaphor for energy/willpower.

    Sounds good chuck, so I suppose you want to build some more housing with the explicit goal of lowering property values, doing union-busting on capitalists, build more green energy infrastructure, get universal pre-k passed AND universal healthcare?

    You’re going to get that taken care of, right?

    You can just claim to be working on the popular things when you have no actual power to push that agenda. Then you can blame Trump for problems you wouldn’t have solved if you had power to solve them.

      exactly, the most politically convenient thing is to push an agenda you know will never pass. theyd never push under a blue administration. the worst political outcome is to achieve your goals (which youve willingly compromised on) and have to deal with the consequences, a lesson the democrats learned after the aca
