Who needed mark kelly to tell them that? Like trump literally said ‘you’ll only get the checks if you vote for us’ ?? How much more obvious do we need to be?

Ok, shut up and buy my vote back again asshole, it is easy.

If you are going to refuse to improve people's lives while condescending them, people are going to vote for the guy that just straight up promises them a check even if they know he is lying.

This isn't rocket science, people don't like being told to "calm down everything will be fine so long as we go back to the status quo" when the status quo is strangling their family to death. Even when the alternative is in all likelihood worse people at their rock bottom don't care about that shit.

This has been proven a million times in history and is precisely why most revolutions fail, they only are allowed to happen by the center once it is already too late for the prevailing sentiment to be anything other than "burn it all down".

Centrists are fine losing over and over again until a collapse into blind, chaotic and pointless revolution/violence which is why leftists and progressives are so adamant about having a bold, progressive but practical vision to improve people's lives NOW before it is too late.

Centrists offer "take this pathetic gesture of help or nothing!" and are shocked and feign bewilderment when people spit in their face and say "I will take nothing".

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous, radical and destabilizing the Centrist belief is that the only two possibilities are either keeping the system largely unchanged except for small tweaks or complete chaos. It ensures we end up collapsing into chaos and it demands nihilistic political radicalization.
