It’s too bad there aren’t a couple billionaires that could pour money into senate races.

Incompetent government is just Republican ran government by another name.
I could have said negligent government too but that implies they don’t want to hurt people. The incompetence is just they are so bad at everything including the hurting of people. Like I would put good money Obama left some guide on “best practices to avoid pandemic reaching Americans soil” and a Trump crony (or maybe trump himself) was like nahhhh let’s recreate the wheel cause **** it we don’t need those lib’s help.

"Billy Never Idles"
He’s gonna have people report double parking in NYC and you giving this a City Hall press conference? They need to hang this lame duck outside a restaurant window.....
I don’t know who he gets but I think he gets stuck with a compromise. Even if he picks somebody they might get slotted to a cabinet position. Especially with the threat of “well we’ll just GOT style attempt to combine all the moderates delegates and drag this out”. Also it doesn’t have to be a blue dog moderate, probably just somebody the party doesn’t think will support them all being primaried out. Cause if the party is smart they should be in “protect our necks” mode.
This is an example of does Bernie know how to govern or not. Obama had to do something similar when building his coalition and if Bernie chooses this Hill to die on I would be worried.

Ted Cruz is really going to sit here and act like Republicans give a **** about poor people while constantly trying to cut SS and medicare and call democrats "socialists" for trying to give healthcare to everyone, huh?

if people are gonna sit there and believe in “coffee elitism” while their government benefits and tax returns and health care get cut, they deserve everything they have coming to them. It’s like Darwinism but we’re all collateral damage.
whenever I come across stories on r/trumpgret I taste delicious delicious tears

Lots of trump supporters are blaming democrats for causing mass hysteria like they forced the CDC to say “this could get bad”
Lot of them are also saying this is just the flu

Personally I don't think Bernie's VP is going to be white. Castro, Kamala, Abrams.

If Bernie chose Kamala and they went on to win the White House, that would provide me with months of material to hit Deuce with
But since the universe has never been that good to me, I doubt this scenario will play out.

When we hear about a pandemic of potential pandemic in America, it feels scarier than it actually is because the bourgeoisie media gives each death and potential death exponentially more attention than the deaths and potential deaths caused by routine, slow, structural violence.
People in the global south are supposed to die of mosquito borne illness, Yemenis are supposed to die of starvation, homeless people on the streets of the US are supposed to die of exposure, Medicaid recipients are supposed to die from cancer that wasn’t detected in time.
Meanwhile, place crashes, pandemics and school shootings, which are unpredictable and are randomly distributed or skew toward the more affluent, are treated as a real crisis by the bourgeoisie press.
Coronavirus is scary as can be and perhaps the terror that middle and upper middle class Americans feel will cause them to have some understanding of how risky life is for poor people all the time.
This reminds me of strongest rhetorical reframings of hegemonic, capitalist “common sense” that I’ve ever seen,

MSNBC's Harris-Perry Snaps: "I Am Sick Of The Idea That Being Wealthy Is Risky"
âWhat is riskier than living poor in America? Seriously! What in the world is riskier than being a poor person in America? I live in a neighborhood where people are shot on my street corner. I live in a neighborhood where people have to figure out how to get their kid into school because maybe...

Anerica’s second spouse would be a strong Ivory warrior whose soul is drawn from the misty bogs and oak forest of Northern Europe. Kamala appreciates that her man is descendant from chieftains and chieftainesses back when they lived in the white, easily sunburned continent of Europe. Go on Kamala and go on Kanala’s non melinated partner in excellence.

What I really want to see is employees coughing on the boss because they don't have paid sick leave.
That'll show them.
It's crazy because the more money I've made the more relaxed my job has become. I didn't go into the office today because I had to handle some car ****. I just logged on from home once I had a chance. It's insane we don't afford the same luxuries to everyone. Your life shouldn't have to revolve around your job.
