    Always remember: It’s not Democrats vs Republicans. It’s the poor vs rich.

      The wealthy have unbreakable class solidarity. If only we could be more like them in that aspect.

    The timing here is what makes this move particularly baffling…

    It’s only baffling if you cling to the ever-more-laughable belief that the Democrats are any sort of meaningful opposition.

    If you instead simply shift to the ever-more-supported belief that they are in fact essentially oligarchic co-conspirators, then the timing makes perfect sense.

      Yea, both Democrats and Republicans have a pretty solid history of voting in lock step on matters of giving themselves more power.

    This goes out to anyone still thinking there are some good people among the very rich. They‘re all robbers and thieves without a conscience.

    Of course they did, because that’s who Democrats are. They are controlled opposition that only talk about opposing Republicans, in the end they legislate exactly like them.

      In this case it’s not mere spinelessness, they were pushing for this before Trump to server the interests of their corporate masters (copyright lobby mostly, though big tech would also benefit).

        Yes. US democrats are corporate. Not nearly as far to the left as the media would have you believe. I’m not even convinced we have a true left wing.

      Some people actually believe that a group of wealthy people are working to improve the lives of the working class. That’s the baffling part.
