  • Biden cancels student loans for another 150,000 borrowers

    Jump

  • It's insane how conditioned people are on price fixing.

    The US has used it many times to make necessary adjustments to society throughout our country's history.

    Rent caps were one of the most influential and positive policies of the New Deal.

    It's not an inherently bad policy.

    If there is something inherently unethical like overcharging for a need (yes in our modern world being educated is a need to actually participate in society), then it is acceptable for the government to step in and draw the line.

    Student debt should be totally canceled, college should be free, and the government should take a fraction of what was being extorted out of students by predatory loan companies and pay it directly to the schools. Let the unethical loan sharks fucking eat the loss for trying to run a racket. They shouldn't have more power than the god damn government.

    Same with housing, it's a public secret that massive housing corps colluse using price fixing algorithms, it's correct in this situation for the government to step in and force rent caps. Let the unethical slumlords eat the loss. They shouldn't have more power than the god damn government.

  • Mexico offers cash to get guns off the streets: $1,200 for an AK-47 rifle and $1,300 for a machine gun

    Jump

  • Yeah because nobody would ever ever shoot someone with a stale gun.

    You are a dumb bootlicker. It means you suck the cocks of authoritarian strong men in absence of a real ideology.

    I hope one day you accidentally do mushrooms and discover self reflection.

  • I didn't ask for a pedant.

    Gun buyback programs remove guns from circulation which is inherently a good thing if you want gun violence to decrease.

  • Generally buyback programs are a success because they reduce the amount of guns.

    Sorry you would rather pretend in some made up situation that there is an infinite amount of guns and nothing can be done to stop the unlimited flow of guns.

  • Suddenly Donald Trump doesn’t want to talk so much about the economy

  • It's fact that GDP is totally detached from quality of life.

    We need better metrics for success before we make ourselves extinct

  • How the Democrats Blew It: Insiders open up about how the Harris campaign lost touch with voters — and how Trump came out on top

    Jump

  • The only narrative here is observable reality, you are allowed to look at the same fucking graphs I did.

    Senators aren't the president. Do you know how many people literally just vote for the president and leave the rest blank? Millions.

    The dems didn't have a candidate people wanted to come out for, and the people who stayed home were older more conservative people who vote democrat because they don't like the current republican party. And they stayed home because the canidate changed, not the policy.

    Im sorry these subjects make you feel insecure. Maybe try self reflecting and growing instead of screaming about how the neolibs should have magically changed their stripes.

  • Oh shit I meant to take out the part about black men, thanks.

    The dems lack policy, but the specifically white and latino men who stayed home didn't do it because of policies. The dems had no change in policy and they had no issues voting for it the first time. I get it that toxic masculinity makes a lot of men in the US into snowflakes when trying to talk about our bigot problems, but downvotes don't change observable reality.

    I don't care what senators were elected, that has nothing to do with the presidential canidate being a woman. And it has nothing to do with who old white people want as president.

  • She gained gained women in every group besides white women where she lost a small margin.

    But the biggest thing was she lost a shit ton of white voters, not to the Republicans tho, basically the old wealthy white people who would vote for an old white man dem but not a woman dem stayed home.

    Both the dems and Republicans had fewer votes in 2024 compared to 2020, but there were a lot more dem voters from 2020 that stayed home this time.

    The part I don't understand is why everyone always downvotes me for pointing out the obvious.

    Older white men/women and latino men are too racist/sexist to bring themselves to vote for a colored woman. Shouldn't be that hard to understand considering how bigoted our country is.

  • The people you are looking for are white men and hispanic men.

    Those were the biggest voter group shifts that voted for Biden but didn't vote for Harris.

    So the simple answer is that Machismo culture makes too many big strong American men literallt too insecure to vote for a woman

  • The fact that he didn't put Trump in prison for the crimes he was convicted of is the issue.

    It doesn't matter how he avoided it, he did because that's what his rich masters wanted

  • If they want more financial equals they can start redistributing their wealth whenever they feel like it.

    Sounds like the team of billionaires who want to end the human race is having staffing issues.
