    Republicans are always evil. They don’t do anything good. Ever. They’re a known quantity. That’s what we expect of them.

    We expect the Dems to be better. And they get the smoke when they fail at that. Cutting Corp taxes. Border crackdowns. Genocide. Those are things that should exclusively be the pervue of Republicans. If dems run to the right they will always lose because the right was so triggered by Obama that policy doesn’t matter to them whatsoever. It’s purely teamsport for them. You can’t appeal to them in any way. They see a (D) and vote against that person. Dems would never lose another election if they went only as far left as Bernie Sanders. We would have a perpetually booming economy and a high standard of living. But even that is far too far for the DNC Services Corp. So we get a gameshow host and a car salesman destroying everything.

      lol

      About half of America thought Kamala was too far left. The idea that Americans are secretly socialists just waiting for a real leftist candidate and are willing to tolerate progressively more fascistic politicians in the mean time is simply ridiculous and without any basis in reality.

        Not at all. She went too far right and a lot of people stayed home. Cuz one republican is as good as another. They both fuckin suck at literally everything. Except fucking up the economy. Republicans are great at that.

          She promised to institute a tax on unrealized gains.

          What constitutes “far right?”

          Trump has concentration camps. Biden didn’t. One assumes Kamala wouldn’t. If you don’t see a difference, it speaks to how privileged you are.

            Uh… The ICE haven’t been created out of thin air in January… You just ignored them before because it was a democrat in the adminstration.

            What constitutes “far right?”

            Funding genocide in Palestine, running the ICE and deporting more immigrants than trump did in 2016 (look it up), maintaining the military industrial complex, increasing rates of homelessness and prices of healthcare and rent and tuition…

              Under Biden ICE wasn’t sending people to extraterritorial prisons without due process.

              So, the existence of Ukraine, homelessness and high prices equal “Nazi?”

                No, only Guantanamo operated that way. ICE was still a concentration camp though. Really grasping at straws aren’t we?

                So, the existence of Ukraine, homelessness and high prices equal “Nazi?”

                Maintaining Nazi policy of genocide in Gaza (failed to mention that one I see), and of economic and police violence (1 in 4 black males above 30 years old have been through the prison system in the US) is Nazi, yes.
