Its funny you think they will do anything if they have power because history says otherwise.
This is a good thing but let’s not delude ourselves too much. They are only doing this because Noam is an easy target and functionally not much will change even if she is impeached.
It’s all optics. Good optics - it’s good policy and good politics imo - but not indicative of a fundamental shift in blatant opposition like we’d like it to be.
Lol. Its almost like you pay no attention to things like the Inflation Reduction Act and then claim that because you didn’t pay attention, they did nothing.
What did the inflation reduction act do? Like materially how did it makes peoples lives better? Did people get better healthcare? Did the unhomed get housing? Did the starving get food? Did the unemployed get jobs?
Do you see the point I am making at least? I’m not even saying it’s bad I’m just saying it’s not a meaningful fix for the systemic issues. It’s a bandaid on top of a wound that we are hemorrhaging from profusely.
You want huge systemic change, it takes giving Democrats a 75% supermajority like they had to pass rhe New Deal. You dont get it by giving them a situation where picking off a single marginal vote with a bribe can derail legislation
What consequences? An angry letter from democrats asking to please stop?
At worst she gets to go home to her millions of dollars, gets a TV deal, and America stays on the exact same course.
Right now Democrats are in the minority. This is effectively demonstration that when they’re in power, there will be prosecution

Just negging
When they are dragging you and your family out of your house, you can rest easy knowing you have the Inflation Reduction Act.
OMG Republicans did something. Blame Democrats quick!

What did it DO?
It started creating a ton of jobs in the renewable energy and electric vehicles space to cut the cost of electricity and getting around.
Republicans repealed it once they came to power

You think the Dems are interested in doing New Deal type politics when they are actively defending ICE? Come on man.
