They’re the ones that wrote the laws for the legislators to pass these tax benefits in their favor.

It’s kind of hard to say with 750,000 people now homeless. 65% people living paycheck to paycheck. 53% of people either under or uninsured. The elderly being priced out of their homes and becoming the fasting growing segment of the unhoused. Where the 1% possess 95% of all the world’s wealth. Credit card debt is through the roof and auto repossessions are right behind it.

The RNC is slowly being dissolved and will be promptly replaced by the DNC as the dominant conservative party.

Took over the Democrats? Bill Clinton gleefully gave them the party and theyve been shifting further to the right since

The governments solution will be to start offering 40 year mortgages. Do nothing to make housing affordable, just extend the time to pay it off like they’ve done with auto loans going from 60 months to 72 months terms.

Pressure public opinion? This implies that politicians and government gives a flying fuck what we think. When one billionaire has more political influence than millions of voters they don’t care what we think. It’s not like this is new news that nobody has heard of before. We’ve known this for decades, and nothing has changed. Even if they were taxed accordingly that money would not be reallocated to helping the working class.

Taxing the rich to save society is based on the assumption that taxation is required for the government to spend. The government can create money on a whim when they want it.

Musk can go fuck himself.

When they havent changed the qualifiers for poverty in decades, it makes it look like it has decreased. The simple fact that our wages are stagnant, housing is unaffordable, our quality of life has significantly diminished.

The total amount I paid for my house in 1992 would not even be enough to cover the down payment for that same property today.

Poverty is a policy choice.

Then Russia needs to respond the same way the US did when they suspected Soviet weapons in Cuba.

The duopoly has created the environment over the last 50 years so that these companies do not pay taxes. Calling them out on it when they are the ones directly responsible for the fact that they pay no taxes is political theater

Look at them not paying taxes

Despite them enabling the tax laws which allow them to pay no taxes. This is more political theater

Democrats have and always will have a rotating villain to blame when they don’t want to pass something. The same way they will always have party sheepdogs

Cue Lucy VanPelt holding football meme

I wonder the same thing about Democrat politicians that come out of the woodwork every 4 years and talk like they give a fuck, only to retreat back to the political sewers that day after the election and continue defending the status quo.

I am voting strategically, against both shades of fascism. Continuing to reward bad behavior by electing them creates worse behavior. Republicans have gone from Nixon, who even Obama said was to the left of him, to total garbage like Trump because Republicans wouldn’t hold their politicians accountable. Democrats have gone from someone like Carter to someone denying there is a genocide happening in the ME because they wouldn’t hold their politicians accountable.

You mean exactly like what’s going on right now? They are both owned by AIPAC and will do what AIPAC wants.

And no one does, if they were held accountable people like Biden and Trump would have never been considered as viable candidates. Biden in 1988 was a prime example, he was held accountable for his lies. If people were held accountable no one would consider Harris based on her past.

After the election all the talk of trump being charged will fade away like yesterday’s news. Much the way all the Republican talk of Hunter Biden fizzled to nothing after Biden backed out.

Had Hillary never pushed her piped piper strategy he would have never been elected. Over $1b in free advertising did that

Yet he’s free as a bird, almost as if it’s all political theater
