re: #74 Dopamine Fish
That’s what I was saying yesterday. I looked at the agenda provided by the White House, and it looked really fucking big. Like, I understand that there are provisions missing that we really really wanted. I am not underselling that by any means. But I am fully on board with the adage, “Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.” This is a good bill, given the circumstances. If we can convince those two idjits in the Senate to vote for it, we need to GO FOR IT.
we should all take a moment and consider:
you think biden just figured out it was a 50/50 senate yesterday?
senator, VP, almost 50 years experience in the sausage making business
he knew from the start. duh
so he/they made a ginormous ask; knowing full well
it’ll likely wind up huge rather than ginormous
and he didnt have to lie, cheat or steal from anyone
that is the art of the deal
