Someone should make a series of commercials...

Premise: people in states whose senators voted against the relief bill get nothing (note: this would not be ok).

Opening words: "Imagine if..."

Show the different outcomes in state where people got the things in the bill vs the outcomes in the state where they did not.

Food bank lines.

Covid numbers, cases down, vaccines up.

Schools open with healthy kids and teachers, open and closing schools with sick kids and teachers.

Etc.

I'm glad the Covid Relief Bill passed. It's needed and hopefully it'll help people, and get the economy in the healthier spot for when vaccination rates are high enough that we can all get out of resume life.

Also.

People. Socialism fucking SUCKS. There are no two ways around it. It sucks. Social democraties don't suck. Unless that fucking jackass in the Senate, aka Sanders, really wants to nationalize the economy, I suspect he and his supporters want the policies of a social democracy, which are basically capitalism with enough support for people and protections for workers that the good sides of capitalism are present, and the bad sides strongly mitigated.

I know I've said it before. Stop talking about socialism. Start talking about Nordic Capitalism.

The Qidiots will think it's some white power thing and won't they be surprised when universal health care hits them over the head?
