Ah yes that famous time in 2009 when Obama needed to convince Republicans. He prenegotiated with the GOP and still not a single one of them voted for it.
More of the same, probably, just repackaged with a more palatable personality. Clinton and Obama were virtually identical in every way except for demeanor. Booker and Castro are perfect examples of establishment Democrats that are more electable.

It was so terrible that he stopped us devolving into a depression and started the longest period of economic growth in US history.
It was also terrible that he passed ACA which gave millions of Americans health coverage they hadn't had before.
And yet here we are 10 years later. Tens of millions still uninsured, and the same house of cards cratering our economy. A half-measure where a whole measure was needed.
The stimulus was the right idea, but the no-strings-attached approach and the austerity that followed were not. We've got ten years of data to show that now.
One of the most liberal/progressive of the past fifty years, Ted Kennedy famously said, "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good."
You think what is happening right now with our economy is the same as what happened in 08?

You're forgetting that everyone on this board is taller than you.

uh, what happens when you give an American family of 4 $70K and suspend credit card payments?
A Tunnels Left utopia???
Back on topic... any updates on whether Governor Andrew Gillum is still being vetted for Biden's running mate?
