Leftist says Democrats should let Americans suffer so long as it advances the Democrat agenda

Do they actually not understand that corporations employ workers? https://t.co/3HXiyu2K7U

So a major figure in the leftist blogosphere comes out and admits that he's all for you suffering if it will help Democrats advance their agenda.

If you've got a 401K or any sort of savings plan odds are that if the market goes down 20% your savings will go down 20%.

That doesn't bother leftists.  They're either rich, supported by rich parents, government workers who get paid no matter what, or on welfare.  They are perfectly willing to crush your economic future if it means that they can get more power.

UPDATE: Here's what Pelosi is demanding in return for voting to help you:

1. Corporate pay statistics by race and race statistics for all corporate boards at companies receiving assistance

2. Bailing out all current debt of postal service

3. Required early voting

4. Required same day voter registration

5. 10k bailout for student loans

6. For companies accepting assistance, 1/3 of board members must be chosen by workers

7. Provisions on official time for union collective bargaining

8. Full offset of airline emissions by 2025

9. Greenhouse gas statistics for individual flights

10. Retirement plans for community newspaper employees

11. $15 minimum wage at companies receiving assistance

12. Permanent paid leave at companies receiving assistance

If Pelosi get's her way many small businesses will refuse any aid and lay off workers instead rather than bake in long term cost increases due to minimum wage hikes and paid leave costs.
