GETS EVEN BETTER KIDDIES!!!

This is Meet The Democrat Press and it is a fucking disaster:

Freeeeee, Freeeeee Fallin'.

Manchin basically fucked the Dems today by announcing he wants the infrastructure bill and won't vote on the Build Back Better Bullshit until he reads it, meaning, not this fucking week.

While downsizing these early popular elements, Congress has increased its giveaway to the Donor Class in an attempt to win them over. Most egregious is cutting taxes for the wealthiest home owners, especially on the East Coast, by raising the income-tax deductibility of property taxes – the State and Local Tax (SALT) – from $10,000 to $72,500. As head of the Senate Budget Committee Chairman, Bernie Sanders sounded exasperated on election-day Tuesday when he explained that this $400 billion giveaway to the wealthiest 5 percent was so large, that “the top 1% would pay lower taxes after passage of the Build Back Better plan than they did after the Trump tax cut in 2017. This is beyond unacceptable.”

Sanders pointed out that “Democrats campaigned and won on an agenda that demands that the very wealthy finally pay their fair share, not one that gives them more tax breaks.”[2] But the Democratic leadership replied that without favoring the Donor Class, their campaign financing would shrink – a prospect that would lead Senate recipients of lobbying largesse to vote down the BBB.

The Democratic leadership argues that failure to raise subsidies and tax breaks for the economy’s wealthiest rentierlayer while cutting back support for wage-earners will threaten their electoral prospects – by reducing their fundraising appeal to the Donor Class.

Yup. Just like they can't support anything that pisses off the teacher's unions (or any other public sector union).

James Carville knows exactly why his party lost so badly on Tuesday: "Stupid wokeness."

That's the blunt diagnosis of the man who famously guided Bill Clinton to the White House in the early 1990s.

"Don't just look at Virginia and New Jersey," Carville told PBS' Judy Woodruff. "Look at Long Island, look at Buffalo, look at Minneapolis, even look at Seattle, Washington. I mean, this 'defund the police' lunacy, this take Abraham Lincoln's name off of schools. I mean that — people see that."

AOC slammed strategist James Carville for blaming "wokeness" for Terry McAuliffe's defeat.

She said that "wokeness" is "a term almost exclusively used by older people these days."

It's the latest in an ongoing intra-Democratic debate about how to talk about issues like race and gender.

On Friday, Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York - a leading progressive voice within her party and the youngest woman ever elected to Congress - slammed long-time Democratic strategist James Carville for being out of touch with the modern Democratic Party amid the debate over its election losses.
