As a Democrat, it all feels hopeless.

Do you know how much I earned straight out of college? Less that what the minimum wage is now. Young folks are okay. They are poor now, and they will be less poor later.

If you look at wages, they are up.


A bag of fries costs $6 at Target


And?


CNN moderator lied during debate saying that grocery basket was $100 4 years ago and $120 now. It is like $400 now for the same items that were $100 four years ago.


Then you are a god awful shopper.


You can go to your shopping history and add the same items you purchased in 2020 and add them now. It will be not a $20 increase.

All I want in a candidate:

- Common sense (not fascist, not irresponsibly woke) on crime and immigration
- pro LGBTQ rights without being condescendingly woke about it
- pro-choice and with the guts to nationally codify abortion rights
- tackle climate change legislation in a way that actually regulates corporations, not punishing middle class and working people who can’t afford their own solar powered homes and electric cars
- Close corporate tax loopholes so you can lower taxes on normal people
- Actually fix our healthcare system
And to win young voters, most of all, the number 1 issue should be HOUSING. This can be a bipartisan YIMBY issue that is pro-market, and pro-development. Stop the predatory investors from buying up entire neighborhoods, stop the exclusionary zoning, and BUILD MORE HOUSING.

You are speaking the truth, ignore these liars.

When the 60+ crowd are gone, the dems will be panicking as to how to run more progressive campaigns rather than resenting anyone whose marginally more left than a conservative 10 years ago. The republicans will be great though.


What?
The Dems will adjust. They believe in civil rights, rule of law, making the environment sustainable, women's rights, abortion rights.

The R's used to believe in fiscally conservative policies, state's rights, and ending abortion.

Now, their main unifying policy (abortion) is off the list, and they no longer believe in state's rights or fiscally conservative policies.

Neither policy has a clear vision for foreign policy.

In 20 years, the D's have something to build on / build up / build towards.

The R's have dismantled the entire government, made the tax structure unsustainable, and totally eliminated our leadership position in foreign policy. They've made us an unreliable partner and even have brought into question whether we have or support rule of law.

In what way are the R's in a better position to have an agenda for the future?


I don’t believe that the Democrats believe in women’s rights any more.


Why?

And the R's who took away the right to choose do? Really?


The Rs don’t believe in women’s rights either. But the Democrats have gone all in on destroying women’s rights as well. They have prioritized men at every turn.


Pick your poison, though. One of these parties leads towards continued free and fair elections, courts, and civil rights.
One wants to end all of those American ideals.


I don’t think the Democrats are the party of civil rights any more. I certainly don’t believe your hysteria.

Candidly I just don’t believe the Democrats on anything at this point. They lied about Biden’s health, as we can all see.

Trump and the GOP lie as well. But I never trusted them. Now I distrust the Democrats the same way I distrust the Republicans.


Do you believe that Donald Trump tried to overthrow the election?


Up until this debate, yes. But it’s now clear that the mainstream media has been shockingly deceptive in their reporting and now I am questioning everything. I don’t know what to think or who to trust as this point.


But you saw it on TV. It's clear that Biden is an 81 year old who has good days and bad days. I wish that there was another candidate running. But there's not. There's no way I would vote for someone who tried to overthrow the US government. I just wouldn't. I am voting for him because I like what Biden is actually doing. Not how he talks. And I'm also voting against Trump because he hates the American people and doesn't believe that their votes matter. Either one of those would be good enough reason for me to make my voice heard through voting.


What I saw on TV was shocking. What I realized immediately is that the Democratic Party and the mainstream media have been actively suppressing and lying about the state of Biden and who is actually running our country. I’ve been lied to, as badly as the GOP has. And now I do not trust anything that I was told previously.


Was Trump’s voice saying “fake news….fake news….” in your ear


Honestly? Yes. I never believed Trump before, and I still don’t, not really. But all of a sudden I wonder if he was right about the media. Certainly the media has been obviously lying about Biden’s state. Now I wonder what else they’ve lied about.




Uh huh. Right. So what you saw with your own eyes on January 6, And Trump's tweets and interviews where he said the election was stolen, were altered by the media?

Can you point out where media lied about Biden's state? What is that state exactly? I've seen him speak every week. And how did media lie about it? Did they write puff pieces about his vigor we all missed?



Also, you guys are so transparent with these posts.


And you are so tiresome with this constant gaslighting.

It took three seconds to find an article from a few days before the debate that talks about how the clips that the right-wing media was showing about Biden’s health (accurately, as it turns out) were just cheap fakes and manipulated.

Reading this article post-debate is truly shocking. The level of overt deception is so demoralizing.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/21/us/politics/biden-age-videos.html


One does not exclude the other. The videos were manipulated.


No, actually, they weren’t. The clips ended at various points but that’s not “manipulated,” that’s just picking an endpoint. It is obvious at this point that the right-wing media was truthful about this while outlets like the NYT were lying.



Interesting that you made all this research since Thursday night. Totally plausible. And yes, they were manipulated.


You can literally see the clips in question. You are clearly lying, and the country sees your gaslighting.

That article from the NYT is laughable now. Well, it would be laughable if it wasn’t so incredibly grim in what it betrays about media truth.


There is a thread about that. Feel free to meander in there.

Also, look up the term manipulated


You resort to insults because you can’t factually defend against obvious truths. I’m sorry but the country has seen the lies of the mainstream media regarding Biden, and that genie can’t be stuffed back into the bottle.

It's sad because if a candidate actually went forward with half of this, they'd be called a progressive radical whose taking over the democrat party. Particularly any fix to the healthcare system, climate change, and affirmation of LGBTQ rights.

What are you buying? 1 person household here and I spend on average $150-200 a week on groceries. Never eat out. I do eat well and plenty of fresh produce and no processed food. But food is expensive. And there's always something you need to get like olive oil or cleaning supplies. How do you survive on 85 a week for two that isn't just rice and beans?

This kind of post is here to make people feel crazy. Why? Because I see every Democrat saying yeah Biden is old.

And the mainstream media is in the damn tank for the GOP.
