YoBuckStopsHereBiden confronts a 'pissed-off generation' of young voters who may be decisive in 2024
Aniki 🌱🌿Biden has done absolutely nothing to improve my QOL.
This is not an endorsement of the GOP.
If he gets supermajority in senate and majority in house pretty sure you’ll get student loan relief, increased taxes for wealthy, expansion of ACA/Medicaid, and increased minimum wage. Otherwise, nothing will happen due to filibuster.
Most of the country is pretty strongly brainwashed against anything that helps reduce wealth inequality as socialism/communism/librul. If you want to improve your QOL your generation will have to vote as a uniform block and take what you deserve.
Let’s say they get a super majority and those policies still aren’t pushed through. What would you say we all do then?
Your personal desire for QOL improvements is not on the top of my priority list. Until United v Citizens is overturned and we get ranked voting, nothing will ever change. Even then, the US is the only country in the world that had to have a Civil War to decide if slavery was bad. And 30% of the country still refers to that conflict as a “lost cause” and the “war of northern aggression”. There are plenty of societies elsewhere that have more empathy for fellow citizens. If you’re looking for personal QOL improvements without having to take them for yourself, I don’t think this is the best environment for you.
Thankfully you aren’t the final say in prioritization of legislation. You think you’ve got it alllll figured out, yet here you are thinking dems are actually going to overturn citizens united, a move that would eliminate their stranglehold on us politics and end their days of being able to legally accept bribes while pointing at Republicans for their inability to do anything. Ranked choice voting is something each state will have to address on their own. There are many states that prohibit voter initiatives from getting ballot access through signatures. There are multiple states that have passed legislation banning ranked choice voting. Focus your efforts on things you can actually have an impact in driving.
Where did I say Democrats will overturn Citizens v United? And I understand how ranked choice voting works, I’m the one that brought it up. Do you even vote? Or do you spend all day complaining about a capitalist system that doesn’t satisfy your QOL enough?
You just got student loan relief again FYI.
Dems had a super majority and did nothing with it during Obama.
Nice try Mitt Romney. huffpost.com/…/debunking-the-myth-obamas_b_192986…
Debunking the Myth: Obama's Two-Year Supermajority
Mitt Romney's at it again -- shading the truth on CBS News' <i>60 Minutes</i>. He's perpetuating the false Republican narrative that President Obama should have gotten more done during his first two years in office because he had a supermajority in the Senate.
And yet Republicans have never ever held a supermajority in the past 106 years since cloture was added to Senate rules.
Republicans win when they do nothing. They just need to obstruct.
You’re implying that the worst thing that Republicans have done in over a century is to obstruct. Seems to me that they’ve done much worse.
If he gets supermajority in senate and majority in house pretty sure you’ll get student loan relief, increased taxes for wealthy, expansion of ACA/Medicaid, and increased minimum wage. Otherwise, nothing will happen due to filibuster.
Lol no he won’t. Democrats will do what they always do and find just enough no votes. They could have abolished the filibuster and accomplished everything they wanted last session. But that would require them to vote as a uniform bloc, and that’s just what Democrats demand of their voters, not their elected.
