The post is about the core policies of both parties being to shit all over the worker while enriching the capitalist class. It’s important to weigh the bad things that Republicans do against the good things that the Democrats don’t do. Why has the federal minimum wage not increased from 7.25/h since the year 2009 despite Democratic legislative majorities? Why did the DNC prop up Hillary, quite possibly the most unelectable candidate in American history, When Bernie had such obvious grassroots support? What have the Democrats done to stop massive hedge funds like BlackRock from buying up all the single family homes so they can rent them to workers essentially creating a slave state? Oh great the average worker is never going to be able to afford their own home in their lifetime but at least our Democratic overlords are making sure employers can’t be racist and students who made bad financial decisions are getting bailed out. Speaking of being bailed out, Democrats certainly didn’t stop the bank bailout of 2008. Guess the party of the people thinks they should pay for the mistakes of the 1%.
Both sides completely throw the worker under the bus.
You’re right. accounting for inflation 5.15 in 2003 would be worth 8.45 in 2023 dollars. That’s a 16.5% loss of purchasing power. That’s before you account for the soaring mortgage/rent rates. But young people are just lazy these days…
Neither party wants to prosecute war crimes because both are guilty of them. Military spending and diplomacy are completely unchanged in the case of either party being in power.
It’s common sense if you look at the big picture instead of tunnelvisioning on your own community. “people are going to get lined up.” [Citation Needed]. When you lie about authoritarian violence happening it cheapens the times it actually does happen, and it happens regardless of what party is in power. Your take is seriously “I’m okay with the murderous status quo as long as my half of a percent of the population is allowed to fully express themselves”. You know who can’t even partially express themselves? Dead Palestinians, Dead Ukranians, Dead Russians, Dead Israelis.
“If Trump or Desantis wins people are going to get lined up.” I’m simply asking where this nonsensical fearmongering comes from? Where has either Trump or Desantis publicly stated that their policy in regards to trans people is to have them killed? There is actual violence going on on large scales against much larger groups of people. Direct your feelbads to the issues that are actually major issues. The cost of living in this country more than likely causes more trans suicides than whatever legislation the GOP want to ram through and that issue is something everyone faces and not just a tiny minority.
Yeah I’m the fool cuz I won’t eat up your baseless unsubstantiated claim of violence. Show me where it happened. I want to know where you’re getting this victimization thing from. If you want to make an assertion then back it up. I read the wiki for Project 2025. I don’t support it. That doesn’t change the fact that Discrimination =/= Violence. Trans ppl aren’t out there dying left and right cuz they didn’t get a job at fuckin Chick Fil A.
