“America, nobody can serve God and the military; you cannot serve God and money; you cannot serve God and mammon at the same time. America, choose you this day, whom ye will serve.”
This is pretty standard “you can’t serve two masters” stuff.
hey maybe one problem that needs to be solved is rampant criminality from the president and his family
perhaps one way to appeal to some of those 73 million is to show with evidence and investigations that the man they invested their hopes in was a crook who fleeced them at every opportunity
It is I suppose a great example of the Twitter bubble that no one on here other than wonks seems to know about the $600/week federal unemployment supplement while out in the world that money kept the economy from crashing and almost gave Trump a second term.
I personally know a bunch of people who were clearing more during those months of state + federal unemployment than they did in their working lives up to that point.
Personal income went up and poverty went down this year as a result of pandemic assistance, and as a matter of political fundamentals, income growth in the first half of the year tends to matter most for evaluating an incumbent. Sorry you think the take is shitty though.
we all know “voter fraud” is just bullshit meant to delegitimize any election republicans don’t win, but i am always a little struck when they outright say it
malapportionment of the Senate would not be as a big of an issue if the Senate did not have a de facto supermajority requirement for legislation & if it wasn’t governed by party cartel. with both of those in place, however the Senate just acts as an intractable veto point.
not hard to imagine a Senate where weak party leadership meant all kinds of legislation got to the floor to be deliberated on and voted on with passage guaranteed by simple majority
if the senate is just going to be a veto point, rather than a governing partner, the best solution is to change the nature of the veto, such that one needs a supermajority to reject legislation from the House, rather than a supermajority to approve it.
