Joe Says No

IMPERIALISM IS ONLY DEGENERATE, MONOPOLY PHASE CAPITALISM

Manchin and Biden: Perfectly interchangeable, despite the rhetoric.

Clearly, the unofficial motto of the Democratic Party in 2021-22 is "Joe says no." And it doesn't really matter whether it's President Joe Biden or Senator Joe Manchin.

Joe, as in Biden, says no to ending the Senate filibuster. He says no to Medicare for all. He says no to a single-payer option for health care. He says no to a $15 an hour minimum wage. (I know -- it was allegedly the Senate Parliamentarian who said no here, except this person is both unelected and easily fired.). President Joe says no a lot, even though his campaign promises and pledges included a $15 federal minimum wage, a single-payer option, and so on.

The very existence (unchallenged!) of a Joe Manchin in Democratic party ranks proves the political bankruptcy of that party, which, incidentally, mirrors its equally corrupt twin, the Republicans.  Manchin, a DINO, should have been kicked out of the party eons ago. 

Joe, as in Manchin, says no to the Build Back Better program. He says no to more affordable prices for prescription drugs. He says no to extending child tax credits. He says no to paid family leave. (Joe said family members on leave might go hunting instead of caring for their kids.) Like President Joe, Senator Joe says no to reforming the Senate filibuster.

Joe and Joe say no a lot, especially to policies that would help working Americans.

What do they say yes to? They say yes to massive spending on weapons and wars. They say yes to fossil fuels, including offshore oil drilling, fracking, and coal. They say yes to corporate agendas and corporate lobbyists and corporate cash. They say yes to higher drug prices. They say yes quite often, actually, but not to us.

When the Democrats lose the presidency in 2024, Joe Says No should be their epitaph. No to the workers, no to the middle class, no to helping the less fortunate -- and no to a fairer, more just, America.

(With thanks to my wife for coming up with the pithy, Joe says no, slogan.)
