Hey, everybody - the left side of the Democratic Party can win big by helping Biden do pre-election PR stunts. I’m not sure how that helps us but I guess libs are a lot smarter than I am.
remember build back better, that was another ‘plan’ that failed and given up on immediately with democrat control of congress
Brandon’s smart, savvy political instincts and brilliant tactics were on display in 2021 to 2022. He put Sinema and Manchin - two super-attention hounds - in the spotlight for a year until he took an ax to his own bills and did exactly what they wanted. Manchin also got a payoff. I forget what it was exactly - a mining exception or something?
For the rest of time, if Pramila Jayapal shows up in public, she should have reporters asking her “hey remember when you agreed to pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill in the house and send it to the senate with assurances that you’d get Biden and Schumer to whip votes for BBB afterward, then you completely ate shit and gave away all your leverage and got nothing in return and Manchin and Cinema left the party and nobody even attempted to bring them in line in any way?”
Most reporters are very busy generating SEO manipulation and cranking out shitty articles for their private equity paymasters. But if she promises to say only good things about Brandon - she can go MSNBC and do that.

Ninja edit: I wasn’t making fun of typical reporters. They do god’s work for shit pay. It was a comment about how everything is so monstrously fucked up.
Does he mean “caps rent increases at 5%”? Because that’s literally higher than the rate of inflation lol
Also, from a different source
From 2017 to 2022, the average year-over-year increase in rent was 5.77% nationwide, with the biggest increase occurring from 2021 to 2022 at 14.07%.
Generous Joe Biden, capping rent increases nationwide to .77% lower than the nominal increase
“Left wing win” bite me, loser. “Oh but it’s still good” Joe Biden’s team did 20 minutes of research to figure out what figure they could use that would not upset their corporate donors while still seemingly being ‘good enough’ to throw out, and it’s STILL never gonna happen because they need the legislative and executive branches, and barring Donald Trump dying that won’t be happening. And if they are in position where they actually have the ability to enact it, they just won’t.
This is straight up not going to happen.
if you want a kick, you gotta vooooooote!
