DL Open Thread Tuesday June 15th 2021

You have to admire Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell candor. Ooh wait... this isn't candor. McConnell knows something that Democrats don't. He knows that there is an election coming up. PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP DEMOCRATS... this is what firing up your base and thinking about turnout looks like. #saveusbipartisanship! Banking giant JPMorgan has been sitting on about a half-trillion-dollar stockpile of cash - demands more tax breaks. #Measly$500billion Bally’s now has the ability to get out of Dover Downs at a moment's notice. #Poof! Delaware Shakespeare has used the covid time to redefine what it means for a cultural arts organization to be truly community-based. #Readthewholething. Steve Smynk still brazenly shows his face in public. #GoodOldBoys

Whether he knows it or not, Atrios really is the nation's leading Coonsologist.

The Sensibles

Start with a proposal that does 80% of the job, whittle it down to 60% to make it cheaper just because, cut that in half to please Republicans who won't vote for it anyway, throw in some additional complication and means testing to please random "moderate" Democrats, and you're left with something that is complicated and confusing that you're unable (or justifiably unwilling) to take credit for.  Then spend another 3 months "debating" it just to give time for people all over the spectrum to point out why it's shit.This is what the supposedly sensible, moderate, grown up politicians do. Then they can blame The Left because twitter user TrotskyChavez420 tweeted, "fuck the pigs."
