No one likes Harris a lot she was the lesser of two evil and quite terrible. You are out of your mind to like Harris a lot. |
The child king barely eked out a victory against her, a last minute replacement, with the help of the media and a rabid cult. “No one likes her.” People hate the idea of a black woman leading, the very idea of it hurt way too many fragile egos. So they made a far, far inferior choice. I hope that the red states enjoy it! lol |
Another “at least Dems arent as bad as Trump” post while ignoring the bit that Dems are still bad. People are looking for a party that offers more substance and less hypocrisy. |
Post ACA I feel like more hospitals are run by private equity who value dollars over patients. |
Trump won 49.8% of the popular vote. He is proving on a daily basis how truly unhinged he is. He is offering no plan, no platform to help everyday Americans struggling with a plethora of issues. D’s policies align more with most Americans in regards to climate change, common sense gun legislation, women’s reproductive rights, healthcare costs, education, more funding for infrastructure, can go on and on. Just look at the legislation passed under the Biden administration. |
Why are they doubling down, especially on economic issues? You can play the lack of logic in your mind. They believe an outsider who has never run a business is going to set the wages, the costs of goods and services, the price of leases and rents, etc., with all the complexities involved in those. They're just going to come in and run everything by fiat. I don't understand the mentality. Is it a power trip? How does a politician with no life experience other than politics know better? |
+1 |
They don't know better, and that's evident to most of the electorate. The rest want to believe that promises of redistributing wealth will personally benefit them - "free stuff for me!", without regard to the ethical issues around personal responsibility. |
Once communism is implemented the free stuff for me crowd that voted it in are rounded up and killed because they are the rabble-rouser personality types that are troublesome when their rations inevitably gets low. |
Nope, the issue at question is Dems don’t talk about healthcare and they don’t care about blue collar workers and they want them to suffer. See upthread. MAGA doesn’t talk about healthcare and they don’t ACTUALLY care about blue collar worker and they are implementing healthcare policies that will hurt many Americans but ONLY Democrats are doing it wrong. I think a lot of people want to hate on Dems, including a lot of self-proclaimed Dems for reasons that make no sense. If you give me a reason that makes sense, then we’re getting somewhere. And, yes, the Dems have problems. But, not the problems I’m seeing in this thread. |
I’m not the PP but this seems delusional. |
Minimum wage support is actually a really good example of the Hunger Games mentality of the Democrats. It’s an issue on which the wealthy Democrats have convinced themselves that they are good people while they calmly watch the working class scrabble in the killing fields of modern capitalism. But minimum wage is a lot more complex of an issue than what people like you think, and it’s not universally seen as a net positive. And a lot of working class people don’t see voting against it as voting against their own interests, to use the grotesquely condescending language of DCUM Democrats. You know what people who are poor and working class understand really, really well? How much stuff costs. And that includes how many costs they get passed on when their local small grocery has to compete with Walmart. And how minimum wage has been used by Democrats to decimate working class businesses in favor of large corporations. And how minimum wage increases drive prices up for them. Have you ever had an in-depth conversation with literally any actual working class person about minimum wage? Or do you, like most DCUM Democrats, think working class people are too stupid for extended policy conversations? Your self-perception of yourself as a very, very good person for supporting minimum wage increases might be a little challenged, if you’d be willing to listen. |
Dems are done. Stand for nothing but wacky progressive policies and spending everyone else’s hard earned tax dollars on said policies. Totally out of touch with normal americans |
Blah blah blah. I’ve never been a Republican. I used to consider myself a Democrat. I may still vote Democrat but I do NOT support them especially since moving to the DMV. I hope the party needs to crumble along with the GOP. Dems open their arms to everyone and stab many in the back while giving them a hug. At least you know where the GOP stands (except trump who takes a scattershot approach to everything). |
Florida voters approved a minimum wage increase in 2020 by a 61-39% margin. Seems a pretty popular position to me. |
