It's like the last election. We are all talking about 100 different things that all matter tangentially but couldn't focus on the one thing that would probably solve a lot of it.
Americans want financial independence. No one wants to tackle that issue head on, though. They will skirt around it saying, if we had this or that social program but won't ever commit to making it their platform.
Think of all the children being bullied that could be counseled if parents had time away from work to counsel them. Think of all the children getting pregnant that could be taught about safe sex and responsible relationships if parents had time away from work to parent them. Think of the long term health effects of being constantly stressed about work. Think of all the communities you could build if people had time away from work to build them.
Financial freedom = actual freedom. The GOP and DNC both want you to be wage slaves so that they can place themselves at the top of the hierarchy creating the problems you want them to fix.
Oh look, Mr. Both Sides is here to ignore that GOP keeps giving tax breaks for the rich and raising them for everyone else, here to ignore that Kamala Harris promised all kinds of tax reforms like unrealized gains tax for people with more than 1M USD in holdings, return of child tax credits, return of student tax credits, and forgiveness of student loans, and here to ignore that the DNC wants to end Citizens United and make unfair election maps illegal.
Fuck off, Mr. Both sides. You're who I was referring to as our intellectual lessers.
Yikes. this isn't giving off the vibe you think it is my dogg
my dogg if you disagree with DNC taxing the rich then I don't care about your vibes my dogg, because clearly you're the enemy of us all my dogg.
ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 😩
This is absolute bullshit. The DNC made zero effort to address the finical instability of working class people and you're perpetuating a lie. I was told 100x that the biden economy was a successful economy while inflation wreaked havoc. This was in 2021, 2022, 2023. Was it bidens fault? No. At the same time don't lie to my face and tell me I should be grateful for this economic environment. Shit could have been worse but tell me you recognize it is bad and give me a platform to believe in.
The DNC won't, they rely just as much as the GOP, on the economy only serving their needs.
Don't make me pull out the fucking graph of popular policy passed vs policy passed that benefits the wealthy.
TL:DR you're full of shit.

Ah yes you've brought up such great points such as that one bill:
And also the other piece of legislature here:
And lets not forget:
All such great points, you've really got the facts on your side.
Sorry?
