Are you familiar with the term "political theater"?
It's where a politician says one thing and makes a big show about something, and then does the opposite.
Why would anyone be scared of the geriatric lame duck president yelling at them?
And why didn't this administration reverse Trump's tax cuts for the rich or actually do a damn thing about it?
You're being lied to and you're believing it.
And Kamala is so pro corporate that she is one of the biggest and most effective proponents of California's prisoner slave labor.
Who do you think it's using this prison labor? Who is the beneficiary of not having to pay their workers?? Could it possibly be the giant corporations that run American???
Are you familiar with the fact that Trump literally cut taxes for the rich, raised the federal deficit, and raised taxes on the lowest earners? Thats not theatre, that literally happened. You have a party that at least promises to make lives better and a party that literally will make lives worse with a proven record, and you helped elect the latter like a fuckin moron.
You want to talk about benefiting off of Criminal Labor? Biden pardoned hundreds of Marijuana convictions one at a time and made it so that future nonviolent possession convictions of the same nature don't happen.
Removing a tax plan that hasn't expired would take a 2/3rds vote from the senate, DNC never had more than 48.
"Control of the senate" they had 48 and they lost the house shortly after. Trump has appointed 3 SCOTUS judges, THEY overturned Roe V. Wade. You're literally saying both sides are bad because one side is destroying human rights and the other isn't trying hard enough to stop it?
Yes. Yes I am.
The Democrats have been ineffectual at best, complicit at worst.
The DNC also actively shuts down all grassroots movements, and any third party. So they don't allow their competitors to exists, and then they do nothing while they're in power.
Am I the only one that remembers what it was like before 2016? Am I the only one noticing the slide away from democracy no matter who is in power?
Whataboutism at it's finest.
Blame everyone else and don't you dare criticize our perfect party.
Your choices aren't between perfect, mid, and bad. Your choices are between Good and Intentional Destruction.
You seem like you clearly don't remember more than 30 seconds. Obama Era gave us Medicaid, would have given us single payer but Republicans blocked it in the senate. Bush Era gave us the war for Iraqi Oil Fields and the judges who decided the fucking Citizens United decision. Then, to protect Citizens United, the Republican Senate denied Obama a SCOTUS pick in an election year and promptly gave one extra to Trump in an election year.
But BoTh tHE saMe
I think you misunderstood my point because you actually just said what I meant but with more clarity.
Yet more evidence of the 30 second memory.
Lol we are in agreement about something and you're still mad about it.
That's all I need to know.
We never agreed on anything. You think both sides are bad and I've outlined repeatedly how one is very clearly demonstrably a force of good.
