Republicans aren’t the only party that likes to indulge in magical thinking.
Can’t Vote/Why Vote?
•
Republicans are obsessively trying to prevent Democrats, particularly blacks, from voting. Meanwhile, Democrats collect those votes but don’t work hard to represent their constituents on the issues that they care about.
Maybe We Can Use Her Incompetence
•
Kamala Harris is more than the vice president of the United States, she is clearly the president in waiting for someone who is too old and infirm for the job. He keeps handing off responsibilities to her but she doesn’t seem able to fulfill her many jobs so far.
Democrats Fight the Evil Republicans
•
Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill is the latest example of how Democrats negotiate against themselves.
Commissions We Could Actually Use
•
Democrats in the Senate are trying to convince Republicans to create a special commission to investigate the January 6th Capitol Hill riot. But everyone knows what happened. How about some commissions we could actually use?
Liberals Ignore Science Too
•
According to the CDC, the latest science says that no one has to wear a mask outside because outdoor transmission doesn’t occur outside of a crowd. Moreover, they say that people who have been fully vaccinated don’t need to wear a mask at all, indoors or outdoors. The only reason people within these categories are clinging to wearing a mask, therefore, is superstition.
Hold Them Accountable in 2040
•
Once again, Democrats are selling out their progressive voters. This time, Joe Biden says he’s not going to bother trying for a public option on the Affordable Care Act and there’s no sign of any attempt to increase the minimum wage. What will progressive voters do about it? If history serves, probably nothing.
Freaking out about Trump, Letting Bush off the Hook
•
Democrats are still completely wound up over the fact that Donald Trump falsely claims that he won the 2020 presidential election, and the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill riot. Yet Democrats quickly forgot about something far worse than lying about losing and a failed coup: the 2000 presidential election actually was stolen, in part due to a violent coup, and as a result more than 1 million people in Iraq and Afghanistan died. Democrats forgot so thoroughly that they now treat Bush like an elder statesman to be respected rather than thrown into prison for the rest of his life as he deserves.
Happy V-C Day
•
In a dramatic development, the Centers for Disease Control announced that Americans who are fully vaccinated no longer need to social distance or wear facemasks. But this opens up a big can of worms. Will the vaccinated and unvaccinated turn against each other?
Godzilla Has the Right to Defend Himself
•
After 11 days of relentless bombardment of the Gaza Strip, Israel finally signed onto a tentative ceasefire. Joe Biden repeated the standard line that Israel has the right to defend itself. But the extreme disparity of wealth and military power between Israel and the Palestinians makes that line a joke.
