I’m so full of fury and disbelief that people could actually defend walking back A CAMPAIGN PROMISE MADE IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC to give people $2K checks to help them get by.
Like, do you not see what this country is going through? 450K Americans have died from COVID. It’s overwhelmed our healthcare system and ravaged our economy.
15M Americans have lost their healthcare because it was tied to the jobs they’d lost.
24M have had to apply for UB.
40M risk being evicted from their homes...during a pandemic that’s stretched our healthcare system to its limits.
People are hurting, and they NEED that money.
If any of those shitlibs tries to gaslight you, here are some posts to reassure you: you are not insane. He’s going back on that promise, and it should concern you.
Okay, I feel like I’m writing this spiel every time I argue with BlueMAGA on Twitter, and it gets tiring and time-consuming - so I’ll just write this Twitter thread for future reference for myself and others:
Progressives didn’t hurt Democrats on Election Night: A Thread.
Even with Bernie Sanders and the Squad rallying progressives to vote blue; even with an incredibly reduced Third Party presence; and even with prominent Third Partiers, current and former, begging people in swing states to vote blue, Biden almost got slaughtered.
Even with John Kasich and the LinCON Project shitting on Progressives to get moderate Republicans to vote blue, 93-94% of Republicans voted for Trump. That’s an increase from the 90% that voted for him in 2016.
Kasich couldn’t even win Ohio - HIS OWN FUCKING STATE - for Biden.
