    Supporting their constituents in the class war is presented as an afterthought, as usual from the corporate Democrats, and this congresscritters proposal is just the standard right-wing, milquetoast, failed Democratic policy that got us into this mess.

    There are over 100 million people without a home in USA, and this guy thinks housing 10% of them will be sufficient. He won’t even say a number when it comes to minimum wage. Three fifths of the proposal is just masturbatory lust for power.

        I mean, yeah. They supported a genocide for a year and three months. That’s bad. They keep voting with the trump administration. That’s also bad.

        They keep doing bad things. You want silence from their critics.

            Is voting for/with Trump’s wants good for America and its people, yes or no? To me, it’s no. I don’t think we should Trump anything he wants.

              Oh shit you’re getting dangerously close to criticizing the Republicans instead of the Democrats! Pull up! Pull up!

                Trump sucks shit, I’ve never once denied that. Dig through my entire history, you’ll never find me unironically praising Trump, or ever saying he did something great. I don’t think he’s ever done anything good, at least on purpose. I can think of maybe stopping pennies, but that’s like… nothing great.

                I don’t like Democrats, but I hate Republicans. I vote Democrat because they’re the only option I have. I’m allowed to call out my reps and the party who has anyone with a braincell hostage because they vote on Trump’s cabinet picks, flip flop on voting no for his Enabling acts, and then act like its some great favor for us that they give Trump what he wants, and how with just another $5 they can finally stop Trump this time.

                I want Trump dead. I’ll settle for him rotting in jail. He should have been in jail for Jan 6. He wasn’t. I can only blame Garland for slowing that shit, and not getting the rest of Trump’s enablers and rioters on Jan 6.

                Sorry you find me saying “Democrats voting Yes on Trump’s wants isn’t good for anyone.” is somehow bad in your eyes. If Democrats voted no, I’d be happy. I’d be praising them if they stood up, like Al Green, like I have been. If they filibustered to slow him down like Bitch McConnell did for anything good Obama could have pushed for in his second term, I’d be cheering.

                  I truly wish we could have a good faith conversation about the extreme shortcomings of the Democratic Party. That’s a good and valuable conversation to have. But Lemmy is absolutely INFESTED with “hello there, fellow Leftists” types who exclusively attack Democrats and are deafeningly silent about Republicans.

                  I consider the majority of this site as MAGA-compromised enemy territory. Any criticism about Democrats without at least a preferatory “Republicans are way worse” is immediately suspect.

                    You will never admit that they have any at all.

                    Yes, when you pretend that everyone to your left is all the way to your right, you get to dismiss everyone to your left. Pretty sure that’s the only time you have anything bad to say about anyone you claim to be to your right.

      This reply looks like some “get discouraged and angry” bullshit right here. Of course repeating the targeted message of the month about Democrats. And a wild falsehood about the homeless rate in the US.
