It's not a policy failure; it's a feature of the system. We need a different system that doesn't allow the existence of billionaires to begin with

No worries friend👍

To be fair to me, I haven't seen any other posts on this on the fediverse.

I don't know the exact papers OOP cited, but here's one that is strongly supported.

Essentially, the researcher proposes that motivation influences reasoning not just by adding bias, but by affecting which cognitive strategies (beliefs, rules, memories) people use. Motivated reasoning is constrained; people are better able to reach their desired conclusion when they can construct plausible justifications for it. They are not completely free to conclude anything they like. So even when motivated to be accurate, bias may persist if individuals don’t have or don’t use more appropriate reasoning strategies.

Assuming the papers actually dispute the original claim, you'd expect the person to whom OP's referring to not require that approach but accept the facts and admit their wrongness upon viewing the data. The situation just ends up being ironic otherwise.

They don't need it repeated for the umpteenth time. She needs to start making more cutthroat statements and quit tap dancing around the conversation.

It's all about framing. She could've and should've been more assertive about it. While it's okay to point out the problem is bigger than the senate minority leader, she nevertheless should be about the matter. Millions of Americans will not be able to afford health insurance anymore. This isn't the time for pragmatism; everyone is angry, and her words should echo that anger. People want action and assertive language is as close to action other than action itself.

It's not even like it's scapegoating, Schumer has been incompetent for a while now, and this should be the final straw that breaks the camel's back.
