My half-lib dad thinks they're saving it and marijuana legalization for right before the midterms. Literally playing with people's lives for political points. And I could see it backfiring for that reason.
I don't think he believes it's definitely going to happen, I think it's more "they could be doing this". He's even acknowledged that it's playing with people's lives. Basically just cope/hope.
Yeah probably, but he'll be more focused on/worrying about the fact that the Democrats just lost. He flip flops a lot between correct takes like recognizing Democrats don't actually do anything and "but we still have to vote blue you Bernie bros" shit.
Before the primary he wanted Bernie to run third party and basically purposefully spoil the election. After the primary he had to vote for Biden in the general to stop Trump.
Exactly, if you aren't a terminally online political sicko, all you know is that under Trump you got $1,800 stimmy bux, paused student loans, eviction moratorium and enhanced unemployment payments. Under Biden, you got $1,400 (which was supposed to be $2K) plus all that other shit is gone. It's hard to sell "the republicans are worse" while taking away the few good things they allowed to happen.

Yup, legitimately underestimating that they've already broken multiple promises to the people who will likely be apathetic to any more "promises".
When it doesn't happen, do you think your half-lib dad will acknowledge it?

You gave me a posting idea - https://hexbear.net/post/161601
My lib dad thought they were gonna do a full lockdown, but they were waiting until after the election to talk about it.
Liberals are so brain wormed they can’t accept that as far as 80% of the country is concerned, Biden took things away.
"Well they're stupid for seeing it that way." - the only campaign slogan Liberals will ever have again.
Right? The answer is “you better fucking buy those votes with deeds. “
Liberals do not get it that most people will vote for whoever will do for them.

idk ive noticed that the democrats raise more money in years they dont control power than otherwise
legit they just want the donations. theyre even happy with the prospect of roe v wade being overturned cause theyll prob get more donations
Trump did not authorize the unemployment payments. Trump literally let them lapse for multiple months.
