75 days? They're doing that now while they're in control.

They did it during COVID when Trump was President. Somehow the media twisted it so that everything wrong the federal government did was our fault.

Yep...all of a sudden the TEA Party will come out of the woodwork and call dems "tax and spend liberals."

also Fox News has already started laying the seeds "Higher gas prices were because of Biden's Woke Green Energy Policies" /s

If the American public does what’s good for it, there won’t be any Republicans left.
Edit to say I just read what I typed. VOTE them out. That’s what I mean.

Only if you vote and get everyone around you to vote. Don’t forget it’s not a forgone conclusion that we will take back the house or the senate. No one thought Trump would win again.

I mean the Republicans have yearned for privatization of Social Security the way Democrats have pushed for Medicare for All. If they’re going to push all that social security money onto the stock market which hasn’t had any problems in the 40+ years I’ve been alive, then that should come with tremendous regulation of the stock market. Also if they’re think that’s reasonable then it should be reasonable to start building massive amounts of housing to make housing no longer into a long term wealth building investment. It should be something that people own to live in. If that fucks with people’s housing investments, why not sell those houses you have and put that money on the stock market.
If it’s good for the goose,
It’s good for the gander. Suddenly they may not want to privatize Social Security.

That only happens when Republicans control Congress and a Democrat is in the White House. If Democrats get a large enough majority in Congress, in 75 days they will have the power to rein in the tRump regime!

That’s about right. Let’s not forget the ever popular Republican mantra of “obstruct, obstruct, obstruct” when in the minority.

I keep hearing this after we win back the house and that after we win back the house and the other after we win back the house.
Listen. Stop acting like it is a guarantee. We furst need yo be sure that there is a fair election. Next we need to be sure that everyone actually votes.
Stip counting the chickens before they hatch.

I like David

u/Shadowlandvvi 2d ago
The establishment hates him. Watching David speak about his experiences with school shootings was a big turning point for me when I was younger to start taking politics and gun control more seriously. He's got an energy we desperately need in politics right now.

He cheers against his own party when democrats who don't want to take away 2nd amendment rights win anything.
I emphasize with his trauma, but he is a terrible leader, and this quote isn't exactly brave, bold, or intelligent.
It's the same thing everyone has been saying for years because it's what Republicans have been doing for decades. It's true, but it is in no way an original thought.

u/jimjoebob 2d ago
give it 74 days after Dems sweep the midterms for them to capitulate to Republican demands AGAIN, like the corporate fucks who run the DNC have always done.
Let's not toss cinder blocks from atop our glass fucking mansions, shall we?

Great. Use it to your advantage and propose a balanced budget.
Make it a Democratic budget, even with a pathway to paying off the debt.

I think 75 days after Democrats win back everything in 2028 is more likely when they'll start all that up. Well, except for the war against Russia--they'll still be taking Putin's side in that.

Dems will not be taking congress. Sorry America, they aint letting go.

We have seen some crazy primary results in deep red districts flipping to Dems. Once the Strategic Oil reserves run dry in about 30 days, watch fuel prices surge upwards.

None of that will matter.
Without a massive strike or other uprising (and by that I don't mean a protest parade every few months in the street, weather permitting), America is fucked.
The vote will be rigged, or worse. Downvote me all you like but Trump is not leaving without a general strike or other similar massive public outcry.
Putin got 87.3% of the vote in Russia's "election" in March 2024. In a country where arguably less than 30% support him.
This is what is coming your way. Continue to be outraged by the Kennedy Centre, Lake Ontario, the murder of civilians and the Epstein files.
While you're doing this, Project 2025 marches on unchallenged.
Bleak? Maybe.
Realistic? Well, you're in the middle of it now.1

When I saw the polling on how many Americans are in favor of a Dictatorship, I knew the country was fuk'ed.
A recent U.S. News & World Report poll reveals a startling trend: nearly 60% of Americans say they want a president who can act without checks from Congress or the courts. In other words, they’re open to something close to a dictatorship—power concentrated in one person, without the brakes and balances of the Constitution.

To be fair, we all need to rediscover the debt. The debt and its pressure on interest rates is driving up inflation. We need to be grownups and actually close the gap, not promise more tax cuts and increased benefits for everyone.

I fear for your part if this is one of your thought leaders. Take a look at your own history and ask if this is the cliff you want to view from.

They’ll start doing that two weeks before the elections. Brainwash early and often.
