rumor mill: seems the 908 million plan. won't pass either. trump and the republicans are to blame for this one.
---

lol

---

I cannot believe I argued with my friends how important it is to vote for Biden. Both parties are exactly the same.

---

From that twitter thread:

At least with trump it was entertaining, now with biden we'll be getting fucked without a show
---

Pelosi is like the Donald Trump of the Democratic Party.

This is quite possibly the dumbest mainstream take in American politics

I'd say your "We're the GOOD GUYS" take is the dumbest.

Yes it is. Though they both generally suck they suck differently and not equally.


---

What's worse are the republicans/conservatives who use her against dems/liberals.

As if we approve of her bullshit lol.

---

Ugh she is the worst

Wow starting to think this lady sucks!

Thankfully, Im moving to Arizona next year and no longer have to live in the same state as her.

Here's the short answer: "Fuck you got ours".

What chaps my ass is that when people point out how Democrats, especially the old guard establishment types, are super shitty as well you always get smart ass answers like "SAME THING BOTH SIDES!!!11". Democrats have their cult as well, but liberals are actually supposed to know better and be above all that and yet the party is treated like they're a bunch of Gandhis and Christs or something.

Ehhh if this bill doesn't pass the GOP Senate, then almost nothing will and thus criticizing Pelosi is pointless.

Dear Pelosi, RETIRE.

Keep voting democrat.

i keep reading that tweet and i still don't understand her logic

Yeah it doesn't make any sense. Mitch was going to block the bill anyway so there was no reason not to pass it.

---

Who in the fuck thought she was anything but garbage in the first place even among dems?

She is a slightly less insane female McConnell with a light coat of blue paint.

But the sarcastic clapping and her tearing up Trumps SOTU address! YES QUEEN SLAAAAAAAAAYYYY!

Voting democrat because you dislike Trump and wanted him out of office is probably a suitable goal.

Voting democrat because you really thought they'd be there for you... well, I don't know if you're bound to get what you want there.

Elections are over and they're banking on you to forget how 2021 will go by the time midterms arrive.

These takes are bizarre, man. Most likely Pelosi took the deal because she thinks Americans should actually get some covid relief asap even though she knew there was realistically very little chance of it going any where. It's not as though she hasn't been pushing for much bigger relief

Not right now, no.

I guess the point she is trying to get to is, "we get some relief right now, and then when Biden is in office and if we can win in Georgia then we can pass what we really need to next month."

---

Can't wait for all of the dead and starving Americans to see Joe Biden's "Build back better" America

---

I don't understand reading the situation as "Nancy Pelosi wants people to get less money" instead of "Americans aren't getting any stimulus right now and the election hasn't unseated GOP power in the senate either".

She's one of the faces of the Democratic Party. This response comes off as nonchalant and half-assed

She should be chewing out the GOP every hour on the hour.

She did that all summer, and nothing got done. She doesn't control the Seneate. How the hell do you think attacking them more right now would make Mcconnell get a deal done? You're saying you'd prefer her to cut off your nose to spite your face? She's saying some relief now, more when they have more control.

She should have made an agreement with the WH before the election and when Mcconnel blocked the deal Pelosi could have simply blamed Mitch for blocking 3 stimulus bills.

And that would get us what exactly? Because he has been blocking them, but that doesn't get anyone any relief.

No bill without checks is acceptable, regardless of how you reason it.

Literally like pick one side and Pelosi wins, pick the other, McConnell wins. Basically nobody's a winner, and checks and balances are done entirely by assholes

Exactly and when Mitch blocks it Nancy can simply tell the media that the GOP is blocking the bill.

From a practical standpoint stimulus checks aren't happening unless the Democrats control the Senate, but this was an opportunity for her to control the narrative and she blew it.

Isnt Nancy Pelosis net worth over $140 Million?

Dear Nancy, GIVE US YOUR MONEY

Correct.

Clearly she's full of it, but no way will a bill over a trillion dollars ever get a vote in the Senate. So I don't see a big deal here other than a politician being a typical politician.

What? If Nancy got what she wanted we would have had the relief bill 7 months ago. And another after that.

Democrats will never really control the narrative.

You see, the thing you claim they need to do? They've already been doing that. Zero relief, and no one cares. You are making no sense at all. You're saying you'd prefer the blame game to continue without states getting relief, without unemployment assistance continuing, without funds for PPE going out. That is harmful.

You literally cannot shame Mitch Mcconnell.
