So weird to see progressives turn on... progressive tax credit policy.
Probably because tax credits aren't cool enough. I mean they'll halve child poverty, but who wants that?

And $15 minimum wage? Who cares! Who cares that it was literally one of the main pillars of the platform of the most progressive presidential candidate?
Not sexy enough.
And ending the tipped minimum wage? Lol good luck. Also not cool.

Just absolutely wild to watch one of the most progressive pieces of legislation introduced in the last 20+ years be vilified for *BACKDOORING* a shitload of progressive policies that have been on our wishlist since *forever*.
Policies that will be so popular that Republicans will be eviscerated if they're repealed.
Policies that will legitimately change the material conditions of people's lives.
Not cool enough. Not a good slogan.

OH AND I FORGOT ending the subminimum wage for disabled people but WHO NEEDS THAT GIMME THAT ONE-TIME $2K PAYMENT BAYBEEEEE. https://twitter.com/BudrykZack/status/1349908360808849409?s=19
I swear to God, I'm so upset that Dems decided not to just go for the $2k cuz it wouldn't make much difference anyway but also DON'T IGNORE THE REST OF THIS LITERAL WISH-LIST THAT'S BEEN IN THE MAKING FOR 20 YEARS.
If we keep treating every success like a defeat, we've officially stopped being the wing of the party that pushes for better and then *celebrates those victories*.
Cynicism is not wisdom
Cynicism is not wit
Cynicism is the mind-killer
We've just come out of a dark period in history and it's not likely to get better without continued work by all of us
I understand the exhaustion. But amplifying exhaustion by embracing cynicism ain't it
