The deal would include a December vote on a Democratic proposal to extend ACA tax credits for one year, multiple sources said. It would take 60 votes to pass.
no more half measures walter
Inveterate fucking losers
No, they’re winning. You just got who their enemies are wrong.
Well neroiscariot did talk to us not the DNC.
What the fuck is this “deal would include a vote” shit I keep seeing.
This shit is like if a union were offered promise of a review of pay in a contract, instead of an actual promise of increased pay. A good union wouldn’t accept that shit ever because it could still result in not getting better pay.
I do not get it.
It more as if they need to reopen the government ASAP because the shutdown is actually starting to have serious effects now on things like air traffic and commercial aviation. No one wants to be blamed for messing with travel during November - December, the holidays. This isn’t just a rich people issue, the US has very little passenger rail and the country is huge, so people travel by plane to visit family across the nation. (This is my understanding as a non American). The Democrats got to use the shutdown to campaign, win some elections in blue states (with some big margins to be fair), cause some chaos in the Republican party as they deal with the electoral loss. So the Democrats got to have their fun, but now it’s time to actually get the government reopened before air travel gets completely gridlocked and Walmart goes broke because welfare programmes are suspended. The vote on the Affordable Care Act/ObamaCare tax credits is just a formality. It’s not serious.
That explanation seems incomplete. The election we just had showed that voters are not blaming Democrats for the shutdown, if air travel and food stamps are suspended they’d only benefit while Republicans eat all the blame.
I think the donors are just telling them to wrap it up. They got a win, time to go back to business as usual.
This isn’t just a rich people issue, the US has very little passenger rail and the country is huge, so people travel by plane to visit family across the nation.
Under developed country using air travel as a crutch for under developed basic infrastructure the rest of the developed world takes for granted.
We’ll do what I want now, and then we’ll do what you want later!they’re caving with just enough plausible deniability to trick the average dem voter into thinking they tried - but tbh i don’t think many would buy it despite how gullible some of them can be
the turbo cynical take is that now that the election is over, they feel secure in not needing to do anything at all for their base, since they feel they can get votes by simply not being republicans
I see it’s Yo Soy Tim Kaine on the list of public sin eaters. But still lmao because he was
’s vice presidential pick.Hey, remember another former democratic vice presidential pick, Joe Lieberman, who went on to scuttle the public option in the Affordable Care Act?
Lol stop picking such cursed guys
:the-democrat: We will establish a committee to evaluate the possibility of holding a vote at some point within the next five years to extend partial ACA tax credits for two months to Pell-grant recipients between the ages of 67 and 80 who operate a small business with at least 3 disabled parking spaces in a disadvantaged community located in an odd-numbered district for three years, and which has for at least two of those years donated between 1.5% and 2.5% of revenue to specified charities to be designated pending the formation of a special committee to evaluate the practicality of conducting a feasibility study investigating the expenses relating to the publication of such a list, following an audit to be conducted by designated third-party representatives, who shall be selected and confirmed by a committee to be formed pending a formal vote, which shall be initiated by a formal request to enter the audit slot lottery submitted on a form printed on agency letterhead, sent by certified mail and postmarked on or before the 8th day of the month on which it is mailed.
Are you by chance available for the role of parliamentarian? You seem to have a good grip of the involved processes.
look, I know I shouldn’t be surprised at all, and that this was always going to be what happened, but
fuck, man
It’s so expected but still disappointing
Is it within reach because the democrats made an offer the republicans will not accept?
i need something other than
because that implies they actually want to kick the ball
I was checking the federal worker reaction on Reddit - and even THEY’RE posting Lucy lol. And referring to capital as the uni-party that controls both.
