Joe Biden hasn't even set foot in the White House yet, and establishment Democrats are already shoving their foots up the left's collective ass. In this episode we examine the myth of a strong far left in the United States, something that has not truly existed since the 1930s, when FDR saved America, and, ironically enough, capitalism, with a series of taxes on America's wealthy class. Because of this fact, many hopeful liberals have been expecting, very wrongly in my opinion, that there may be some hope that democrats in Congress would put up some kind of a fight for more liberal policies. Unfortunately, this has proven to be mostly false.
The new class of progressives in Washington have not made much of an impact at all, and have instead chosen to go along with the party line. Meanwhile, the constituents they promised to stand up for are constantly bled of campaign donations, and time while the pandemic rages on. Mind you that liberals were disproportionately effected by job losses during the pandemic. Many entertainers, waiters and teachers are mostly liberal. Further, liberals tend to work more gig jobs than conservatives. Is it any wonder that we have been screaming for help so loudly? Many of us were literally left in the dust during the first stimuless bill. It was not enough then. Further, many of us are still having problem receiving money we were initially owed. All of this should have resulted in a stimulus check that was larger than the first, not smaller. Instead, the bill was cut in half, and the nation was silent.
Had this been Trump's doing, democrats would have been all over him, but now of course we hear silence. Is this a sign of things to come? Should we just prepare for more of the status quo? Business as usual in Washington? It seems like that is what people are really saying when they talk about "going back to normal". Normal is mediocrity in America. It is settling for the what we are given, and letting the woes of this earth flutter away with a tweet or two. You would think that this obvious win for establishment mediocrity, and ultimately abject failure, would cause moderates to relax, but they are still gloating about their superior ability to bore the market to death, and blaming their failures on the imaginary left. You know, the one that just voted with them lock, stock and barrel...again.
We examine this delusional storybook world where socialism reigns supreme while having no influence whatsoever; a wonderful magical land where phony progressives in ten thousand dollar suits argue with even older moderates fifty thousand dollar suits about how they will screw working people out of money this week. We examine the close relationships between moderate Democrats and extremist right wingers, and how they work together to distort truth, and maximize profits. We discuss the consequences this unholy union has had on the health and well-being of American citizens, as well as how it alienates the youth from their families, ultimately causing them to seek solace with far right organizations and ideologies, not because they are correct, but because, sometimes, that is all there is. We also discuss how Democrats continue to lose ground with real leftists the more they bow to big corporations. Finally, we look at how major media and entertainment work together to demonize the super kung fu radical socialist left that only seems to exist in the minds of paranoid "intellectuals". Join us as we discover how the radical right and boring democrats worked together to destroy everything fun, and halfway decent about America. Will Joe Biden be any different? Does Congress actually do anything? Will Gavin Newsome have $200 or $500 dollar wine when he breaks quarantine next time? Find out this and more on More Content Talk!
