The video is funny with how convoluted it is but do these guys think this is just a coincidence and you can just have Democrats exist as they are but without this stuff? 

Any acknowledgement that this is just the natural product of their policy and ideology?

Jon Stewart screams 'OMFG' and is rendered speechless after hearing all 14 steps to apply for 'Build Back Better' funding: 
Ezra Klein: "We have to issue the notice funding opportunity within 180 days that's step one. 
Step Two: States who want to participate must submit a letter https://t.co/n2B3knnNY8

History, tech stuff, SEO/marketing, shitposting, etc. etc.

I don’t know what all those reviews are for specifically but I will guess that if those weren’t in place then Greenpeace, BLM, SPLC would all be posting on Instagram about how this is a corrupt process that destroys the environment and only benefits white people

Yeah it’s not unique to Democrats but NCLB could easily have been done by Obama or Clinton and nobody would bat an eye. It comes from an inherently egalitarian ideology, R president doesn’t matter. 

Defense budget ballooning is the MIC revolving door. 

My overall point is while Republicans could and have easily caved to egalitarian ideas (ex: NCLB) when the party got more serious in 2024 about saying we’re going to make the government work, there was no ideological barrier saying well we can’t do that because X, Y, Z interest groups oppose. 

If Ezra Klein and Abundance guys actually got traction, they will 100% face pushback for those exact interest group reasons saying they are excluding opinions of X group. The way all those groups are included or safeguarded is bureaucracy, more reviews, more discussion, more committees etc. If they come up with a better way that actually lets people do things, I’m curious to hear what it is

Democrats need to own the messiness of their implementations but I think it’s wrong to say a tendency towards bureaucracy is inherent to the ideology of the party. Bad management is a universal constant. How much paperwork did GWB’s “no child left behind” create and what were the outcomes? Do you think our ever ballooning defense budget is being expanded with a regard for efficiency?
