Pelosi and Biden endorsed Henry Cueller, the only anti-union anti-worker pro-life Democrat in the House over his progressive challenger in Texas, and pushed him over the finish line

The Right Fearmongers About Progressives, But the Democratic Party Remains Neoliberal

The Left’s beachhead in Congress has grown in the last few years. But at the current rate of expansion, the Left will remain a minority in the Democratic Party’s congressional caucus until 2091. We can’t wait that long for change.

my eternal advice to democrats is that no matter what you do, republicans will call it socialism and attack it, so just do the maximum possible to help the most people and don't hobble it out of the starter's gate in an attempt to "get republicans on board."

that was the biggest problem with the recovery act, and while it was not perfect that's why the rescue plan was way way better. both plans ultimately got the same exact level of gop support: none. cause they dont care about helping americans.

Not so. Trump helped Americans in ways that we wouldn't have been going through this right now...

Gasoline that rose to twice the price it was during 2018, an inflation rate that rose to 9.1%, which was almost 5 times higher than it was in 2019, a recession, the average middle-class family coming up about $6,000 short of disposable income, hefty taxes coming for the middle class, and retirement accounts losing $3 trillion dollars just over the last year. The price of oil jumping up to $130 per barrel, having to beg Saudi Arabia and Venezuela for oil while draining our own strategic reserves, sporadic shortages on the store shelves, supply line disruptions, a steadily-increasing trade imbalance with China, an spiraling epidemic of violent crime and drugs, 4 million more illegals within the last two years, more COVID deaths than in 2020, a dishonorable withdrawal from Afghanistan that cost 13 American soldiers their lives, a weakened, pussified military, and IRS arming and training to be home invaders, an FBI acting like Nazi storm troopers, Iran's nuclear program having enough nuclear material to build a bomb and conducting attacks on US citizens like they did to Salman Rushdie, a revitalized Russian oil industry, China being energy and militarily dominant, a war in Europe that could even go nuclear, and China and North Korea threatening the US.

Neoliberal. Fucking bullshit.
