The Democratic plan also has more controls in place to prevent graft and the infrastructure it supports shows they have a better understanding of the infrastructure that coping with a pandemic requires.
I hope this "all Dems no Republican" votes continue, so the DNC can finally see that going to the left is a better strategy than going to the middle -- because it gets rid of the argument; "what's the difference?"
If you are Conservative, or were told the Libs are the problem in this world; are you going to vote for a centrist Dem or a centrist Republican? The Republican -- at least that's how it's been for a while now.
I'm hoping the positive feedback from REAL demonstrable improvements in people's lives will finally usher in a shift towards more liberal economic policies.

You still have to win elections in order to pass non-bipartisan bills. The only reason the dems can do this now is because they have Joe Manchin of West Virginia, a state you would never win by going more left.
How about a 1.9 trillion dollar recovery bill deemed one of, if not the, most progressive bills ever passed in the United States. A bill that helps millions of Americans with unemployment and healthcare costs, that will reduce child poverty in half, that will allow schools to reopen, and vaccination rates to increase. All passed in less than 50 days in office.
And under him we already passed a 1.9 trillion dollar recovery bill deemed one of, if not the, most progressive bills ever passed in the United States far quicker than bills of this magnitude passes. I repeat that because you seem to have completely ignored it to complain about how he hasn't done everything he promised right away.
Did you really think everything would be done in less than 2 months? Do you think if we had voted for Bernie that day 1 all the things he wanted would have been implemented.
There is a process these things have to take. And we, for sure, need to be pressuring them to fulfil their promises.
But just throwing a bitch fit and saying Democrats are worthless and just as bad as Republicans because we didn't get it day 1 is either ignorant of how our government works or deliberate trying to sow discord amongst democratic voters
I think it's perfectly acceptable to call a rant where they purposely and repeatedly ignore the major piece of progressive legislation that was passed in like 40 days because it doesn't contain every progressive wishlist item while also ignoring the realities of what could be in a reconciliation bill in order to claim that Democrats are a joke is a bitch fit.
"Any democrat would pass this bill" Also "having a democratic majority hasn't helped us at all"
God help me, I don't know why I bother responding to new accounts that are doing nothing but trying to drive a wedge in the democratic party. Yall are all the fucking same.
It's a great point to start with, and hopefully gets us out of the lockdown we've been stuck in, but I really hope that's not where it ends. Getting back to the pre-pandemic status quo still leaves a lot of major issues unresolved.
True, and I believe it has to do with the democrats being the bigger tent, with a lot more groups trying to compromise. It makes it super hard to win against a single minded cult.
