The Democrat politicians are rich and will be fine. It’s all us non-rich who will be fucked.

This 100%. Way too many people are thinking we are voting Dem in order to do politicians a f*cking personal favor. No, we vote Dem to do OURSELVES a favor and the country a favor.

Demoralized voters don’t vote because they don’t feel their vote matters and they’re not wrong. Like 50% of votes are in states where they’re meaningless.

Nope. If just an additional 1 out of every 15 people in Texas had voted for Harris, then Trump would have lost even Texas. The number of people in Texas who could have voted but did not vote far exceeds that number. The number of people in Texas who didn’t vote because they probably thought it wouldn’t matter was big enough to easily make the difference in who won the state. So even the state of Texas could have voted against Trump, if only enough people who could have voted actually did vote for Harris. And Texas is one of your “meaningless” states. Other states could have done this even more easily.

You’re right. There was no payment for Puerto Rico. The payment to Spain was for the Phillipines

Since 99% of Greenland is uninhabited, he could just claim those parts and let the few towns choose whether they wanted to join or not. It actually is a little weird that just 50,000 people can “own” a gigantic 99% uninhabited island the size of Greenland.

But I think the claim is that he wants to purchase Greenland from Denmark. There is actually a historical precedent for exactly that. The USA purchased the Virgin Islands from Denmark in 1917. We also purchased Puerto Rico from Spain, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma etc from France, and Alaska from Russia.

and fixing housing by offering first time home buyer credits.

And building low income housing.

They can claim any part of Greenland. Although they would likely be violating international law. But be aware that Traitorapist Trump has already gotten away with committing many domestic crimes.

The democrats have settled on a strategy of slowly shuffling right and being yesteryear Republicans on many fronts

No. That was their strategy 20-30 years ago. They are actually trying to make progress now, but I agree they need to become much more aggressive in doing that.

when they do get the occasional small W.

You are forgetting that these “small wins” are HUGE WINS to somebody. I had ACA health insurance for several years. Dems did that. Would I have rather had medicare for all? Of course. But I would have had NO health insurance for YEARS without Dems creating the ACA. That was huge for me. And before the ACA people on the internet were always telling me there was no chance at all that health care would ever be reformed.

You know, when someone asks for sauce, they are asking for links; for proof

You are so f*cking lazy. You could have googled this stuff, instead of REPEATING your baseless claims. The worst thing you can do on the internet is express confident ignorance. And you just did it.

Obama didn’t raise taxes on the rich, he just closed loopholes for them

Nope. He raised tax rates on the rich.

Harris promised to continue the legacy of Biden

Nope. She promised to raise taxes on corporations and the rich.

Biden did vaguely talk about it for a short while nothing came of it

Nope. Biden raised the minimum tax rates on corporations.

Greenland houses an important NATO base

Then just claim the base. No need to take over the handful of towns.

that would be needed in a fight against Russia. This os why Trump wants Greenland

Trump is on the same side as Putin. Trump “wants Greenland” for no other reason than to get attention. He’s a narcissist. Everything he does can be explain by Trump’s hunger for your attention. He’s not actually worth people’s attention.

We know how stupid Traitorapist Trump sounds. We know he is a notorious liar and we know the rest of the world knows that Trump is a notorious liar.

Trump is a notorious bullshit artist. Nobody with common sense believes any of his bullshit anyway, so he should just come out and say “I want to invade and annex Greenland for the same reason Putin invaded Ukraine. Pure imperialism”.

the DNC campaign brought on Liz Cheney and said nothing will fundamentally change.

(1) It was the Harris campaign, not “the DNC”. Why would Harris give a shit what “the DNC” thinks about anything? Harris was giving money to the DNC, NOT the other way around. You know that the DNC is not a person right?

(2) There were many proposed significant changes. A $3000 per child tax credit isn’t a huge thing? The billionaire owned media didn’t want you to learn about them so that Trump would give them gigantic GOP tax cuts. So the media buried it. You could and should have made the effort to learn what they were but you didn’t. You could have read her 82 page PDF of policy proposals.

(3) As long Harris didn’t change any of her positions to get Liz Cheney’s endorsement, why would she NOT want a free endorsement from a Republican? Especially since everyone knew that Cheney only endorsed Harris to highlight that Traitorapist Trump committed treason against our country.

. There’s all kinds of people that don’t vote because they’ve accurately assessed that the system resists changing to reflect their needs.

That makes no sense. The system can only “reflect their needs” as a result of voting. By not voting you are setting yourself up to being a lifetime loser in political affairs. In the long term the system will always reflect what the majority of the VOTERS want, and not necessarily what he majority of the CITIZENS want. If Dems were routinely getting large victories, then politicians would be routinely competing against each other to demonstrate who is going the farthest and the fastest in achieving progress.

and bear in mind that when I say fix, I mean fix, not take a few small token steps towards addressing it (maybe)-

Your position amounts to saying “We cannot move left until we have moved much farther left”.

not “fix the housing crisis”, not “fix the student debt crisis”-

Biden and/or Harris pretty much tried to do everything that was politically possible on both of those things. If you were holding out because you thought it would be possible to immediately do MORE than what they tried/proposed, you were merely setting yourself up to be a lifetime loser in politics.

I really don’t think the dems did

Clinton raised tax rates on the wealthy.

Obama raised tax rates on the wealthy.

Biden raised the minimum tax rates on corporations from 0% to 15%.

Harris was going to raise this rate even higher.

This is all part of the public record. Try to pay more attention to what is going on. For your own sake. And for our sake, if you are going to make comments here.

Trumps went pretty much under the radar

Trump lowered taxes on the wealthy by $4 trillion in 2017 Tax cuts and jobs act… Next year, all income groups under 75k in the same 2017 legislation will pay more taxes because of Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act according to the congressional budget office joint committee on taxation. Treason Trump has already indicated he is going give the wealthy yet another gigantic GOP tax cut.

Any USA president can simply use the full powers to stop the genocide.

They could try to use their leverage and threaten to cut off aid. Biden did not do that but he probably should have. There is no way that Traitorapist Trump would do such a thing since he is as bad as the terrible Israeli PM.

LMFAO Dude nobody gives a shit what Traitorapist Trump says. He’s a notorious Liar and Bullshit Artist and a fucking joke to the entire world.

Capital gains tax is applied WHEN YOU CASH OUT THE ASSET.

Yes everybody knows that. Why the fuck would you think that in any way means we should not tax the rich?

Naw, dems hope that the contrary is going to scare the people into voting for them; but sadly it just doesn’t!

Dude nobody is voting for Dems in order to do any f*cking personal favors for them. We are voting to do a favor for ourselves and the country because Traitorapist Trump and the GOP is 100x worse. The last 3 Dem presidents all raised tax on the rich and/or corporations. Why would you NOT vote for that?
