Charles Koch money

i love how status quo libs seem to struggle with the idea that anyone on earth just legitimately disagrees with them. its like they don't understand the concept of genuine beliefs -- which raises the question of where the fuck their opinions come from

Vibes. Pure vibes

You see it when they wander in here all the time

They're so sure of their beliefs that they think we're conservatives half the time because we ardently hate them, unaware that people CAN be further left than liberal

We've actually reached the "acknowledging reality is enemy propaganda" stage

[-] [email protected] 45 points 3 days ago

To be fair... we've been there quite a while.

Even the most lib-ass libbed up example I can remember from my own political experiences of people legitimately telling voting democrats (in the primary nonetheless- committed, ideological democrats) that voting for Barrack HUSSEIN Obama to be the candidate over Her Majesty HRC was essentially the same as voting for whoever would be the republican candidate (McCain). Because no one would vote for Muslim Black man!

Now obviously I'm not gonna sit here and type out why Obama sucked shit, but the point is even back in 2008 I remember very clearly talking with people, the most omegalibs you can imagine, who were livid, sucking down cigarettes in anger at the prospect of people voting for Obama over Hillary in the primary and their claimed reasoning being, like I said, basically allowing Bush term 3.

They've always run these games, it doesn't work anymore, and they're just flailing like crazy at this point. Now if the fucking DNC could just... implode already... that would be nice

The deals Obama made behind the scenes to get the support he had versus early on in his campaign became readily apparent during his terms unfortunately, but yeah I was just getting into electoral politics at this time and I remember it too

For example, we have a thousand trillionaires in America – I mean, billionaires in America. And what’s happening? [...] making sure that we’re able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I’ve been able to do with the COVID – excuse me, with dealing with everything we have to do with. Look, if – we finally beat Medicare.

I don't know what any of that means, but Biden was front and center for the last fifty years, and he could have helped stem the rise of the thousand ~~trillionaires~~ billionaires.

[-] [email protected] 62 points 3 days ago

He helped the rise of the billionaires in extremely direct material ways

And got basically nothing in return until 2008! For 30+ years was living in a one story house with a 100k net worth passing industrialist gift bills out of faith in the system! Just an epic loser and rube.

[-] [email protected] 52 points 3 days ago

Yep.

  1. Biden was a key bipartisan supporter of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 2005 that made it easier for lenders to squeeze money from distressed families trying to file for bankruptcy.

  2. Biden repealed parts of the Glass-Steagall Act, allowing commercial banks, investment banks, and insurance companies to consolidate (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999), and directly set us up for the 2008 financial crisis that caused huge wealth consolidation in America.

  3. He voted for the Tax Reform Act of 1986, which lowered the top marginal tax rate from 50% to 28%.

Hell, even at various points in the debate he was incoherently complaining about these things like he didn't directly contribute to this bullshit.

Perfect, too shapeless to form into any malarkey biden

haha. Even the moderator, Tapper, was barely coherent at times: "For example, a basket of groceries that cost $100 then, now costs more than $12" was a literal example in one of his prompts. This whole country has brainrot.

Just elect ChatGPT at this point.

Please, President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho, my people, we yearn for freedom! bateman-desperate

Why aren't my ostensibly left-liberal news sources not giving free air time to Drumpft?!

I swear to God liberal recreation must consist of repeating the words "I learned nothing from 2016" while slamming themselves in the head with a wooden mallet.

Gonna have to retire the phrase "Nice Polite Republicans" lest someone thinks I'm a rabid Biden supporter daydreaming about maga infiltration of my beloved state media.
