The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

Please stop overestimating what a democratic Congress can do. The oligarchs are spending money to make you think a Dem Congress can arrest people and hold trials and pass laws without a POTUS signature so that you’ll be disappointed when they don’t do stuff they can’t do. Don’t fall for it.

It's fascinating to me the degree that this parallels the state of women's rights, civil rights for racial minorities, the homeless, etc. over the last decade and a half. There isn't a marginalized group that hasn't seen tangible regression in societal treatment coupled with multi-level gaslighting
