Income inequality going down for the first time in God knows how long, with working class wages rising faster than even pretty historic inflation
If you are invested in things like, I need you to not raise corporate taxes, or I need you not to send weapons to Ukraine, then I am sure the Democrats have been very disappointing yes. But there are a lot of people for whom that is not the viewpoint.
You're supposed to watch a video before commenting on it
I have watched a couple of Second Thought videos before. I don’t think I need to augment the experience any further.
(Actually I did just click on it, play a few seconds, and then click away, to damage their ranking slightly in the algorithm.)
So brave. Almost had your world views challenged there because the points you brought up here get debunked in the video.
Good thing you came in here to comment on this post instead.
Tell you what, set me up so I can talk to the authors; they can raise their “debunkings” and I can respond in detail, and they’re okay publishing that alongside their misinformation. If having your world views challenged can be a two way street, then I’m so down.
If it is just me being required to give views to what I am highly confident is a bunch of bullshit trying to ruin the democracy in a country I care about, then no, I think I will not.
You’re not from the US, correct? I didn’t see you answer the guy who asked who it was that taught you to write decimal points to separate thousands groupings when writing a dollar amount.
What a long comment without any content on the video. Amazing.
Ended it by pulling random ad-hominems out of thin air too very impressive. You're from Russia right?
Totally normal.
If I went into a Brazilian political forum and was super enthusiastic about telling the Brazilians who they should be voting for, and then after I made it sort of a part time job for a while, someone realized that I don't speak Portuguese and asked hey what's up with that, where are you from, and I said not, oh my wife is from Brazil so I'm into it, or yeah I moved here I'm living in Rio for the year for work but I haven't learned, or none of your business why but yes it's of interest to me, but HOW DARE YOU AD HOMINEM ME and receive it as an attack... yeah that would be super normal. Totally ordinary stuff.
