Maybe if we continue to refuse to support the progressive party in protest then things won't get significantly worse again next time? /s

HA
Oh boy shortest standup routine to get me to laugh that hard.

Thank you for being exhibit A in my argument, you're doing great to make my point for me.

Me laughing proves the DNC is a progressive party? I don't think that logic is very robust.

I think it makes you feel more confident in disregarding the arguments of others which is the point you want to conclude but it's unrelated to your previous point and that's searching for evidence to back your preconceived notion which is also bad science.

Plus this isn't science or a polling sample it's a conversation.
So much wrong with how you interact with others.

It proves that people would rather stoke flames than support a progressive party.

The dem socialists are progressive. The DNC is right wing

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

You appear to be one of those, actually. Odd how projection works.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago

And how are they progressive? What progressive things have thsy done recently? What progressive things do they stand for?

Or are thry progressive because the]re progressive?

There is no progressive party. We have two parties doing their best to support billionaires.

The DNC sure do audit and tax Billionaires a lot for their supposed supporters.

No, they really don't. They throw more money at customer service but they definitely don't audit more and leadership knows that.

Lmao

They audited less than 40 times fewer than smaller businesses? You realize that small businesses and billionnaires don't exist at the same scale, right?

Heres my evidence, the Biden administration increased federal revenue, and at the same time the rate of audits for those who made less than $500,000 declined.

They audited less than 40 fewer than smaller businesses?

What?
I think you misread the article or I am having a hard time parsing the meaning of that sentence.

During the 5 year gap from 2019 to 2024 they only flagged 22 ultra wealthy companies cases vs 848 flags for small companies and that doesn't mean a full audit was done just referred. And that's the 40 times fewer, the number of flagged criminal referrals.

I really don't think you read that. I think you really are looking for bias confirming items and even gloss over presented data.
Take a second and breath and think that it might be ok to progress your views beyond what you already think you know.
Or please point out to me your evidence?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Typo on my part, missing the word Times.

I think auditing the ultrawealthy is great idl why you're so opposed to it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago

You are making up a stance that I don't have to think you are controlling the conversation.

Also, adding times did not make your position any more clear. Please clarify your evidence and what you are taking away from that article.
