Come the fuck on, Democrats. Fucking do something right for once you fucking moderate fucks.

Slap Joe Manchin in his stupid fucking face, stuff a pacifier in every Republican's mouth, and put Nancy Pelosi in a fucking retirement home so we can actually see some progress in this country.

I'm sick of this shit.

I agree with points 1 and 3.

But how long are we supposed to suspend evictions? They need to end soon. People can't be living rent free.

Subsidize the renters. Give tax credits to the property owners. Invest in affordable/public housing.

Or, how about this: Suspend them permanently, and make people get a real job instead of just extorting people in need of housing, while also hogging up the very housing supply those people could otherwise look at buying for themself? Better yet, just outright transfer ownership to the tenants.

Come on. Lets get grounded in reality. I like the other guy's idea about subsidizing rent. But as of right now, all of those are fantasies. They're definitely something to work towards to in the future though.

There won't be another shut down. That is unless if you want the Democrats to lose elections for an entire generation from here on out. I don't want to see that happen.

Yeah, Im really disappointed in this, too.

The eviction crisis is coming more from the rent costs than the pandemic. If rent prices were affordable and pay was fair, most people would have been financially able to take a month or two off.

What are they doing to fix the work force crisis?? Why are businesses allowed to short staff and pretend to the public that its the workers who wont go? They want hours and you wont staff the business because its cheaper for you. What are they doing to incentivize businesses to pay living wages? What are they doing to force landlords to rent for fair prices?

We desperately need to raise wages to accommodate for the inflation weve seen recently. As is commonly (and correctly) said, the minimum wage needs to he $28-33/hr if we want a fighting chance. No, our country DOESNT need to have an entire class of people who starve and constantly stress over finances. EVERY job needs to pay a living wage or it needs to shut down.

Of course Im not suggesting that the previous administration even so much as acknowledged these issues, but the Democrats are kind of supposed to focus on this stuff. Then we had Obama bailing out the bankers TWICE while people struggled to get by. Wtf??

Don't forget: border children are still in cages!

I saw a headline literally today saying that border children are still without resources to meet their basic hygienic needs. Yes, I know. Trump is bad and I don't want him back. But what good is it to get rid of someone like him if you don't try and undo the damage he's caused?

This would be like if Mario defeated Bowser, but still left everyone turned to stone. Or if Batman defeated the Joker, but still allowed the distribution of household products tainted by lethal gasses.




Thanks, Hero.

Because a president can't just do what he wants. He has to get all the bickering factions of the DNC in the House and Senate to work together. That shit is hard.

As shitty as the Republican party is, one thing I'll give those fuckers is the ability to toe the party line once bitch McConnel cracks the whip.

It's not that the Democrats are spineless. We just aren't a unified party. More than that, you have Democratic Senators in states that even "god" himself can't figure out how the fuck they won their state (Manchin) that has to cater to their Maga constituents.

It's not all black and white.

Employers are having trouble staying staffed because people are realizing they're worth more than $11 an hour. And even if they would be willing to work for that little, it's not enough money to keep people from starvation. You'd need two roommates, and all three of you would have to be on food stamps, just to survive on that.

It's the iron law of wages. People won't work for less money than it takes to survive. Businesses have gotten so greedy that they want people to pack together like rats and be on government subsided food rations. That to me seems like the nightmare we were promised would happen if America ever fell to communism.

No Democrats are spineless. There are things they can attempt to do regardless if they fail. Such as censuring Q crazy Republicans, go after Gosar. Fix the god damn postal service, though I believe that is mostly on Biden for appointing new members to get Dejoy out. But even then they could investigate him and get him behind bars.

Yes there is. Biden has to appoint more democrats to the board. There are vacancies he can fill to put them in power. Hell he can even fire some of the members if necessary. And if anyone complains about there is no reason to fire them, point to the gutted postal service.

there aren't enough vaciencies to fill with democrats to make an actual difference since they wouldn't have the majority to kick dejoy. and if he starts firing people you're going to see months of legal actions blocking it and a legislature that point blank refuses to pass anything.

Guess this means that whole movement of people quitting abusive very little payout jobs will die soon as people get desperate and states will probably drop their minimum wage back down to 7.50 or less knowing people will have literally no choice but to accept it.
