Politics Please say rock bottom is getting close

Joe is not, you're right. CNN and MSNBC who support Joe, do though. I agree it's bullshit to say that, but you have to give people your vision on how to better the country.

 

Agreed, but the party always had everyone else and they'll likely have them again this time. It's those other segments you can't count on. That's why you need to speak to them more to get them to come out. That won't happen the same way this time.

Sure.

I didn't know Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema were Republicans?

People vote on feelings. That's the thing. But the corruption in the country is not feeling, it's facts. When the richest nation in world history just had a 12% spike in homelessness. Don't have affordable healthcare or education. Those aren't feelings. Those are facts.

 

The affordable care act has insured over 40 million people so far. The best thing about it is that ACA prohibits Insurance companies from denying insurance due to pre existing conditions. It's amazing to me that many red states still refuse to implement it in their state despite the profound need.

 

Totally agreed. It was a huge leap forward. Not what progressives like me wanted, but we can't deny it was a great thing at the time. Unfortunately, it's people in red states with the most medical care debt in the country because of what you just pointed out. I don't think most people know they're voting against their best interests. We don't have a media that informs its public.

 

Joe could have put pressure on them, Barfo. To suggest Biden couldn't actually do anything about it is asinine. Again, that notion comes from the mainstream media. There's always a foil in the Democratic party. Why is that? Because their donors are the same as the Republicans.

I don't know how you couldn't call that corruption. The people at the top fund the politicians and keep them from actually changing anything. You're free to think otherwise though I suppose.

 

Who is the genocide on Gaza appealing to? Donors maybe, but not voters. It's not as complicated as you make it. FDR taxed the shit out of the rich and he kept getting re-elected. Take care of the people and they'll vote for you. It's not hard.

 

Agreed - Sad to me that Trump ran on a platform of repeal and replace and yet after 4 years in office and 3 years out of office we have yet to see any hint of a feasible alternative from him or any Republican in Congress. What's especially sad (and ironic) is how many people who desperately need affordable health care will still vote for Trump and his minions.

 

I agree. It's super sad. Especially the older demographic who gets brainwashed by conservative media. I've seen it close up. You know who used to go on Fox News and win every audience over? Bernie Sanders. Trump wouldn't exist if Bernie was the candidate. Remember, many Obama and Bernie voters went to Trump in '16.

 

Manchin's daughter was under investigation. The administration gave his wife a job. He had absolute leverage. I know it's not something mainstream media shared. I'll let you dig into the rest.

Lmao the same Biden who threw more black people in prison than anyone and made it so you can't lose your student debt through bankruptcy? He's been a right winger all his career.

Bribery by definition is corruption. But it's legal. By those standards you can't call Russia or China corrupt. That's out of touch and we will always disagree.

 

One of the issues that Republicans are harping about is the Federal deficit. The deficit was made worse in 2017 with the big Trump/Republican tax breaks. Watch what they say next year when the tax breaks are due to expire.
When 2025 draws to a close, so will many of the sweeping Trump-era GOP tax breaks established by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017.

 

Aren't the tax cuts for businesses permanent while the tax breaks for individuals are expiring?

 

Some of the corporate cuts were but not all. No idea how many $$ are involved.

 

It's not 50/50, dude. Take a look at the polling. And then he said out loud that he's a Zionist. He's going to get his ass handed to him in Michigan and it won't be anyone's fault but his own, no matter what you say differently.

Oh, you're one of those. Biden can't do anything about anything because of the boogeyman that is Republicans. Like Obama couldn't do anything about abortion, but didn't because he and the party wanted to fundraise off of it. Sure thing. You're giving more reasons as to why the entire system needs to be uprooted and turned upside down.
