... still negotiating though, so some hope left. A drastically reduced bill could still work as a thin end of the wedge; that gets passed, Dems survive the midterms and pass a bit more. Admitedly, one problem with this scenario is that I haven't heard anyone else suggest it

Not a chance. Not only is she way too easy to demonize, she refuses to compromise even with mainstream liberals and her politics makes Bernie Sanders look like a Reaganite.

You're right, of course, she takes some pretty extreme positions. My campaign advice for AOC: talk less and dance more:

"people are only gonna wear masks for so long.."

Yeah i already quit wearing them. Saw a granny in cvs with one on today and i felt a little bad walking past her... But only slightly cause nobody is wearing them hardly

It seems like covid is just gonna be another flu type illness that we deal with every year at this point...

Wear them when you're feeling sick though. I wear mine in public places that people HAVE to go to. Doctor, food market, post office, liquor store, general service places...

I don't wear mine in my shop because I have a sign outside saying I'm vaccinated. I also run a specialty shop. You don't HAVE to come here.

However, if I have a cough or a sneeze or runny nose, you bet your ass I'm wearing that mask all day and getting tested.

Society rules have changed a bit. It's no different than NOT sneezing in a strangers face. You would never do that. It's a thing you do to be able to live in a civilized society. I think wearing a mask if you're sick or near at risk people should be automatic as stopping at red lights because society deemed it safer.

These people that cough in others faces because they like Trump need to be cast out of this world. They have decided not to play ball. F*ck them.

I absolutely guarantee that the only shovel Batty has ever lifted was made of pixels and used to knock out a hobgoblin or a mutant king or something.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Pessimist. What does the "A" stand for?

I'm afraid they already have. Two Democrats who aren't really Democrats have already said no to much of the bills. With our luck, we'll be lucky to fix the cities' potholes.

Very important not to have people falling through the road when they're lighting up a spliff (or whatever the terminology is you kids use today grumble grumble mutter mutter)

Last week was the first time I saw people in a supermarket not wearing masks. It was weird. I continue to wear mine though, as we've been told to. Not only for my sake but Karen's too obviously.

That's a good thing because establishment democrats are so invested in castrating themselves in capitulance to their image of what the GOP expects, then they chop a little further in the name of negotiation. A willingness to compromise across the aisle and not within their own party will likely be the undoing of said mainstream liberals as well.

Pretty sure sexism would get in the way of her campaign more than anything tbh.

Nobody is hardly wearing them here. If nobody else is then what makes you think I'm such a good person that I'll wear one anyway lol

Most rules i follow more out of social and or legal pressure rather than genuinely believing in them....

That's very tough of you, jwb.

Good point. I deleted the part about sexism obviously but otherwise yeah i agree.
