The democrats represent the group of americans that think money and “american ingenuity” can solve all problems. No problem is a real problem because we can always solve it if we just try real hard to make the current thing better.

Thats why they are the status quo party, its literally their whole founding belief.

The republicans are a party of changing backwards, which only works sometimes, usually when people are upset: “remember when things weren’t awful…?”

The rest of the parties are thinking long term and are true parties of change but you need money to make it in politics, or else not enough people even know you exist at the higher political levels. There were I think five “third” parties on my ballot but I only ever heard people talk about one or two of them.

I’m not sure if its more likely the democrat party collapses out of disinterest and a third party replaces them, or if the democrat party will become a true party of change for the future.

It could just continue on as the party of “America is amazing and will always be amazing so vote for us for more amazing.”

Check out the working class party that started in michigan in 2016.

When did she say the supreme court stuff or the anti-corporate stuff?

You had it right the first time, people voted for change in 2020, and they did it again this time. Same same.

The difference is in who they will fuck over so we can stay greedy and entitled. Democrats fuck over poor people, republicans fuck over minorities and immigrants. Both groups fuck over the rest of the world.

The left would vote for the “won’t fuck anyone over” party if there was one.

So why are the democrats currently taking part in genociding Palestinians? Thats horseshit too?

Is anything stopping them from being vocally opposed to the situation?

Both candidates messaging was they would “get the war over with” but I guess it sounds better coming from Kamala than Trump?

This stuff was all talked about prior to the election.

Kamalas campaign thought they could win without offending any megadonors, despite seeing what a bit of honesty did for them right after biden was replaced.

Ive never seen such obvious virtue signaling, I’m not sure kamala even believed her own words.

Oh no, what will I ever do if I can’t keep buying stuff I dont need.

“Americans might have trouble expressing greedy tendencies under a Trump presidency.”

The entitlement of americans is absurd. Palestinian children are killed with made in america bombs while our population weeps over its loss of made in china electronics.

Clearly the american dream is dead if you can’t replace your computer every year.

Some people want more expensive shit as long as its made in america or with american goods. Thats the point of a tariff.

Maybe he shouldnt have insisted the economy was great and people should be Happy with it. That messaging lost the democrats the election.

Simply because Obama did awful stuff too. He’s a war criminal as much as bush or biden or trump.

I thought their messaging to voters was patronizing/insulting as well.

Considering its their opinion, its 100% accurate.

You are assuming everyone saw her as well qualified. Some see it as electing a party rather than a person too.

Unfortunately for her, it was democrats that allowed corporate profiteering since the pandemic. Everytime she said the economy was doing well was idiotic.

I assure you that’s not what it feels like.

Its ridiculously funny, he was so confidently wrong about the definition of concubine its actually over the top. If I heard it in person I’d have to leave the room for fear they would want to hit me for laughing so hard.

What does upgrade even mean? Are you like two per room and are having more kids? None of this makes any sense without context.

The million dollar homes in my well populated area near a major city are gigantic homes.

Okay so 600k? Even still though, a million dollar home you own thats gone up far over what you paid for it is going to leave you with a lot of options.

Its confusing to me that you need to upgrade and so are upset about the housing situation. You seem to be doing well by any standard I’m aware of so I’m asking what do I not know?

I had really hoped that he would be one of the ones who could rationalize living the rest of his life as a simple millionaire or something.

You are right about the knee-jerk reaction to avoiding losing even a bit of wealth.

I was pretty bummed to hear mark Cuban wants Lina Khan fired. Cubans been a huge spokesperson for Kamala and insists they talk often.

Edit: here’s an article recently about it where he tries to be the “I’m just saying” guy.
