What would you have recommend he do?
What would you have recommend he do?
nothing more than a figurehead.
That figurehead happens to be surrounded by people who aren’t fascists and support policy that I mostly agree with, so I guess I’ll take my chances with them.
Trump already has the SS.
This has been pretty thoroughly debunked by now. The kid was a conservative through and through. Why he’d shoot the presumptive nominee of his own party is a mystery though, and we might not ever find out.
AOC is running for president? Wow, I had no idea!
MA is basically the equivalent of a northern European country hiding in the US. Honestly, it’d pretty much be an oasis, save for the fact nobody can actually afford to live there.
Hey you. I like you.
Sounds more and more like he was a libertarian who didn’t like Trump. Doesn’t fit so cleanly into the media narrative, but there’s definitely a lot of folks who fit that description politically in the US. Right leaning in a lot of ways but don’t like authoritarianism. That part of the electorate also tends to own the most firearms, and there are no shortage of them in PA.
He was registered back in 2021. Not sure this has much bearing on the 2024 primaries. He could have been a right leaning person who didn’t like Trump. Those people exist. Basically, most libertarians.
I’ve probably really only had one job where this was a problem, and it was already a politically charged environment because of the work we were doing. Despite the nature of the work, the drama wasn’t political at all. It was just all young people just out of college airing way too much of their personal lives too freely. With all of the rivalries, infighting, and occasional sabotage, it felt like a 2000s MTV series in there.
There is no response you will accept. Whatever I write, you will just continue to hand wave away, no matter how explicit the evidence. I give up. Live in whatever fictional reality you want. I’m done reasoning with you.
Wages are going up relative to inflation. That’s literal growth and progress. No one is arguing that people aren’t struggling. Has there ever been a time in US history when people weren’t?
I’m not sure I agree about the smell of wooe, but the cambium of many different tree species is perfectly edible. Have at it, my friend!
Where are you even getting that from? Economics isn’t a matter of opinion. Wages are, in fact, up, and inflation has been easing. This isn’t about fascism or race. This has been an across the board trend since 2021. Things are far from perfect, but they are improving.
Fucking thank you, Bernie. Glad someone with a spine said it.
Wages are up, and inflation is down. The economy isn’t roaring, but it’s a hell of a lot more stable than what Biden was handed in 2020. The examples you are offering, while certainly valid for the folks in your community, are anecdotal. The facts are in the data. This country is too big to determine its overall economic health with a localized eye check. Lots of folks are struggling. Lots of folks are also thriving.
Self aware idiot.
That’s the real problem, but too many people here and elsewhere are unaware of the limitations on how the legislative process works. Anything like this is pretty much DOA and purely ceremonial. I’m happy for all of the positive things Biden has been able to get done in spite of such gridlock, but amendment level change in this country is just not at all possible right now.
