Except these parties loot the welfare state in other countries
The power combo for every right-wing populist party is “we’ll kick out the immigrants, and spend the money we save on YOU.”
Republicans are too anti-welfare state to go there. So their version is “your house will be cheaper when the migrants are gone, also here’s a massive healthcare bill.”

I will never understand how so many people argue “the government can’t effectively provide healthcare” when it’s one of the few things we know, for a fact, it can do, because it already does this. It’s like claiming the government can’t deliver mail. Buddy sit down you’re not gonna believe this

Dems if they get back into power should revisit the new deal structure of giving money to state agencies to execute tasks and start giving money directly to municipalities/cities and counties

Everyone needs to listen to Gustav Holst's "The Planets", not for hoity-toity nerd reasons, but because every epic sci-fi movie OST for the past century has been directly lifting shit from this one specific collection of pieces, and you deserve to hear your favourite motif in its native environment.

My favorite part of the January shutdown fight to come is that they already gave Republicans 1 year clean extensions on their top priorities (Ag, Military construction, Veterans), so the areas left to negotiate are ones Republicans are mostly fine with cutting down to nothing. Leverage!

This is a truly remarkable moment. Simultaneously debunking Kristi Noem’s lie in real-time and elevating the story of a veteran who was deported under Trump & Noem’s dehumanizing, belligerent deportation policy.
MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported?
NOEM: We haven't deported veterans
MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

And if some voters feel this way about Democrats, a major reason is that THE FUCKING CONSULTANTS KEEP SAYING THE PARTY IS TOO LIBERAL AND OUT OF TOUCH. They incessantly reinforce the stereotype.
