The people cheering it on think it’s patriotism. Then there still seems to be maybe a third of us who think this was just another election we had in 2024.

The rest of us know, and are appropriately freaked the fuck out.

So is he arguing for additional tariffs on those countries (which wouldn’t surprise me since he’s a Trump supporting shitstain) Or is he arguing for not doing the tariffs?

Wonder how many cheeseburgers they bought him, too.

Are we likely to see voter backlash against the ultra-wealthy?

Clearly it would, but IMO that’s not a reason not to support the idea. Look what happened to Target. Better yet, look what happened to Costco at the same time.

That’s a depressingly low number.

Yes, those things are true. And he’s the exception.

And she’s fucking right.

Nancy Pelosi has got to go.

The boomers except for Bernie have got to go. (which does not include Nancy, she’s fucking silent generation)

We need ACTUAL young blood, not 74-years-young.

Damn that was a helluva post! 🙏

Weeell, kinda. Then you remember Bayer and VW, among others.

I do not care about wealth disparity. Salaries should probably rise, and reform may be needed for that to happen, but I do not care if the society is unequal.

Ah, the fuck you I got mine animal in the wild. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck…

I knew it was just a matter of time until final confirmation appeared. I acknowledge and respect your honesty, even if you’ve just lost any other possibility of respect.

His entire answer boils down to “people with money have proven they can handle it” which is absolute horseshit, and frankly all the pretty words sound like code for “suck it peons, you don’t deserve it because you didn’t figure out how to game this rigged system in your first few years of life.”

0 people should have more money than they can count while other people are choosing between rent and food and medicine.

I think they mean that’s the tactic used by the wealthy in their part of the class war.

That was well done, article gone now.

Don’t forget the 14 words! Someone screenshotted this at just the right time:

Hey US, how’s it going?

Pretty much this:

It takes you to the artist’s page. In the menu where you can choose his artwork, this is the one called “Stand Up”

I’m hardly breaking new ground in my assertion here, even if you personally don’t agree.

If you somehow don’t realize how progressive and working class interests were kicked to the curb in favor of courting those (still) elusive republican votes there are many, many opinion pieces out that that can detail it more eloquently than I.

Here’s but one paragraph from but one such article:

The Democrats’ sharp turn to the right can be mapped through their party platforms and political programs. In 2020, they offered a “new social and economic contract” of “shared prosperity” and racial justice. By 2024, Harris and running mate Tim Walz failed to directly or meaningfully mention the impacts of racism, police brutality, inequality or diversity in their 82-page policy platform.

And look at all the good it did them:

The old guard (both literal and figurative) need to get the fuck out of the way for the AOC’s and Crockett’s who will actually speak to power instead of cowering in the corners.

They sure as eff do!

What they did was court Republican voters instead of Democrat voters, and neither Republicans nor Democrats were amused.
