They're fundamentally controlled by the same forces that control Republicans, so probably not much unless the progressive wing gets a lot stronger.

Here's again your reminder that Bernie went on like every news show the last 2 weeks and talked shit on Pelosi and McConnel to get stimulus checks in this bill


Fascinating when trump and Bernie/aoc have more in common than with each of those parties with McConnell/pelosi

At least in regards to this stimulus topic

I'm laughing so hard right now. 5000 pages of complete and total fucking garbage. Fun times.

Dunno if anyone posted it, but if you're bored or just want to scan through for random shit to critisize:

Fake news. Congress passed more than just the COVID stimulus bill. They also passed the Defense Dept funding bill, which contains foreign aid, and that's where the $500M to Israel was.

$600 max for Americans per person, out of a total of $2.3T in govt spending ($900B stimulus, $1.4T budget)

I'm not taking a position one way or the other about the $600, or the money to Israel. Just pointing out that the lumping in of the $500 million to Israel with the COVID bill is #FakeNews. It was a separate piece of legislation.

It was good enough for the ACA, it's good enough for everyting. "Want to know what's in it? Pass it." "Want to know if we plan to pack the court? Elect us."

The irony of Trump, Bernie, and AOC all being on the same page is beyond hilarious. 2021 promises to bring great things, looking forward to it. :D
