Did they ask chatgpt to write that or they literally think people are stupid?

I agree. But also, why didn't you do anything about it when you had the chance?

When Republicans owned the Senate and more importantly the Supreme Court?

Remember when he was promising to increase taxes on anyone making $400,000 or more? At the first opportunity (the first debate) the media started attacking only him (BTW completely ignoring trump) until he suspended his campaign.

Harris took over, but notice that that promise disappeared.

Harris wanted to raise taxes on those making 400,000 just like biden, it didn't disappear at all. She also talked about introducing an unrealized gains tax on those with gains worth more than 100 million. You can't say she didn't want to increase taxes on the rich unless you ignore her policy proposals.

I do remember that. But I also remember he was president for 3 years prior to that promise, and a whole year afterwards, and he made no move to action that.

Biden wasn't a bad president, but he wasn't a great one either.

"Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights, the freedoms and the fair shot for everyone to get ahead," Biden said.

Today? No Biden, it’s been there for five decades and longer.

It’s threatened the lives of every non white male that’s been a victim of institutional racism, sexism, and discrimination and outright taken many of those lives.

True, but today they no longer try to hide what they do. They are doing everything in the open and significant part of the population is cheering them.

It is mind blowing.
