When one of you are willing to offer up an alternative solution that even remotely resembles an inclination that you’re paying attention to the problem at hand- we’ll start taking you seriously.

The young know exactly who and what the duopoly is, so there is no muddying the water. They rightfully see that there is nearly zero difference between the two in policy or their commitments to Wall Street.
A critical provision applies to most U.S. corporations that earn more than $1 billion in profits.

Definitely the same as Trump’s tax cuts. Lol. Fucking ignorant trash.
This type of comment that says their side is right… are just hilarious to me. Corporations bought your government through bill riders packed in 1,000 page bills.
Neither side wants to fix this mess, because their millions in campaign funding relies on keeping corporations and fat cats happy.
If you are in the bottom 95%, you aren’t being served by your government anymore.
This Conservative vs Liberal fighting is exactly what they want. Serves as a nice distraction.
Liberals thinking they were voting for ‘lesser evil’ got us here. This is 100% on the shoulders of shitlibs that cant tell the difference between red fascism and blue fascism.
You still didn’t answer my question. What solution do you have? “Biden sux” is true, but just yelling it over and over is not gonna further any leftist ideology…
They have no solution. Thats been the point of this the entire time. They shit on the discussion and walk away feeling smugly satisfied that their pseudo woke rhetoric made a difference to a bunch of people too busy scratching their heads and wondering what that dumbass was talking about.
God damn your takes are stupid. “zero impact”. To prove a universal quantification false only a single counterexample is required. That’s it. Nothing more is required and then poof you are an idiot. You sure you want to make that bet? You absolutely sure that voters have zero impact on policy or legislation? Cause, like, votes determine the passage of policy where I live.
Oh look. Votes determined the legality of cannabis. Was illegal before then votes then not. That’s a policy change BTW in case you are even more confused than the average stoner.
Done! I’ve proved you wrong! Congrats! No further effort by anybody is required to prove you are stupid. Just one example was required. Nothing more.
That accelerated with Regan and has been the status quo for every president since. Biden proposed a wealth tax and it got stone walled by a Republican congress. You could argue it’s all for show but laying it at his feet is a little “mask off” with your intent.
Still likely a troll account just don’t want you convincing the less critically inclined of insanity.
Edit: replied to the wrong person, this was meant to be a reply to the parent comment saying that “bidenomics” was the problem oops.
Sorry I should have been specific. I wasn’t speaking about trickle down economics, I was speaking about the economic policies in general that tax the poor while leaving the rich mostly unaffected and while purposely building in loopholes.
This may not have been strengthened as much during times when Dems were in power but in the past it certainly hasn’t been weakened, My argument is that Joe Biden has actually made moves to try.
No, it’s not parties that are entrenched, it’s laziness and complacency. America could have a viable third party, the status quo could be shaken. But it would require a bit more drastic measures than just canvassing and making YouTube videos. It would require an election boycott campaign to shake the legitimacy of your democracy (and with two parties that serve the same corporate master, just how legitimate is it in the first place?), it would entail a period of instability with perhaps something even worse than Trump emerging for a while…
But by and large, Americans are comfortable. Despite the economic downturns, despite the drug zombies in the streets, most Americans are not ready for the hardcore sacrifices that are necessary to drastically change a political system.
So you trudge along, always choosing between two piles of shit, carefully weighing which pile is a bit smaller and stinks just a bit less. And you say, this is democracy in action!
Much less of one than what happened under Trump. When disaster struck, Trump’s first thought was to bail out big companies over actually helping the people. Infact frequently he put the people dead last. At least Biden has done and tried to do a few things for the common person.
Just wait until you learn who cranked the interest rates down to nothing and handed a bunch of free money to the rich at a time when supply chains were almost completely shut down during the pandemic…
I feel like that doesn’t get discussed enough. The supplements provided under trump hindered way more than they helped. Might I remind you that those were promised and then delayed because Trump wanted his fucking name printed on the checks. Outside of that, the paycheck protection program was a disaster! So many companies took advantage of that while shitting all over the employees that that was supposed to help. All the while, mom and pop shops and other local places got shafted because the mega corporations tapped the fund. Then it all got forgiven?? You’ve got what is essentially neutered unemployment benefits performed solely to act as a clout grab, and you’ve got hyper inflation into the absolute wrong end of the scale of where it should go. More people focus on the former instead of the latter like the latter never happened.
Everyone knows it was all bullshit but try to remember nearly every day of all four years of Trump’s presidency, and months prior campaigning, were filled to the brim with bullshit. Many people, myself included, just gave up on politics for a while after he lost to Biden just to try and stay mildly sane.
Wait until you hear that Biden kept the guy that cranked down those interest rates, the same one that now has interest rates for homes in the upper 8%. Then kept those tax cuts for the rich, while pretending the inflation was due to supply chain issues and not capitalist greed.
Free fall, meaning? Inflation is going down. Interest rates are a mechanism to control inflation, and historically are not all that high. Housing is a problem, but nobody is going to do much about it because something something free market. Not everything is great, but not dismal either. I don’t really see how this is Biden’s fault, but I am sure people will still blame.
Healthy economies do not have skyrocketing credit card debt, skyrocketing car repos, less savings, increasing evictions, and people losing their homes because of unaffordable housing. If the exact same conditions were happening under a GOP, WH liberals would be in an uproar, but since BlueMAGA is running the show they went to brunch while the world burns.
That’s all been happening for decades, dude. Literally wtf are you talking about?
What policies have Republicans presented to address those issues besides cutting taxes for the rich and cutting social programs that support working families?
Bidenomics has been a disaster. Things are not as rosy as they claim.
When one of you are willing to offer up an alternative solution that even remotely resembles an inclination that you’re paying attention to the problem at hand- we’ll start taking you seriously.
Until then, you’ll remain the joke that you are to everyone with a functioning brain.
Soviet flag PFP… That’s all you need to know
Theres no arguing with these people - that would be expecting the most basic level of critical thinking
Supporting genocide Joe and Im the one lacking critical thinking?
Isn’t that the new dog-whistle term being used to disenfranchise younger voters and muddy the waters for democratic or liberal leaning politicians?
No offense, but that really isn’t a great way to show you’re a critical thinker.
The young know exactly who and what the duopoly is, so there is no muddying the water. They rightfully see that there is nearly zero difference between the two in policy or their commitments to Wall Street.

"15% corporate minimum tax

Talk is cheap, and that’s all it will be. When asked, he said rolling back Trump’s tax cuts for the rich were off the table.
Posting isn’t praxis. What solutions are you offering?
We’re almost out of the 4th quarter. Want to go through some corporate tax records to back up your talk?
Provide the source for that? Cause when I search I find:
https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/09/president-bidens-proposed-2024-budget-calls-for-top-39point6percent-tax-rate.html
which is the opposite of your claim. Hmm

This type of comment that says both sides are equally bad are just hilarious to me. People riding the fence is what got us here.
Shit of get off the pot. We’re not in a pace where we can afford to NOT choose sides anymore.
Liberals thinking they were voting for ‘lesser evil’ got us here. This is 100% on the shoulders of shitlibs that cant tell the difference between red fascism and blue fascism.
My god you’re fucking hilarious!
And what solution are you offering here? Not vote? Vote 3rd party? Vote for Trump?
I’ve already voted for progressives in my local elections.
Voters have zero impact on policy or legislation. Keeping the status quo is killing us
You still didn’t answer my question. What solution do you have? “Biden sux” is true, but just yelling it over and over is not gonna further any leftist ideology…
Not supporting him or a capitalist owned party is my solution. That’s the oppressed supporting their oppressors
They have no solution. Thats been the point of this the entire time. They shit on the discussion and walk away feeling smugly satisfied that their pseudo woke rhetoric made a difference to a bunch of people too busy scratching their heads and wondering what that dumbass was talking about.

Their only “solution” is whining and ignorance.

You mean like tax cuts for the rich to fix every problem? Because that’s all they have.
As I said….

You mean every Republican president. Democrats have not chased trickle down economics.

No, things aren’t rosy. What happened under trump was a corporate apologist shitshow though.
Luckily for Americans, Biden is the scourge of corporate America…
What do you want me to say? The choice was between total shit and kinda shit. That’s what’s wrong with the two party entrenchment
No, it’s not parties that are entrenched, it’s laziness and complacency. America could have a viable third party, the status quo could be shaken. But it would require a bit more drastic measures than just canvassing and making YouTube videos. It would require an election boycott campaign to shake the legitimacy of your democracy (and with two parties that serve the same corporate master, just how legitimate is it in the first place?), it would entail a period of instability with perhaps something even worse than Trump emerging for a while…

So, exactly what we have right now?
Lol. Imagine watching Trump during covid and then thinking “exactly what we have right now”. What a trash take.
Oh. I guess your username is accurate! Well!
Then you need to pay closer attention
Given how easy it’s been to prove you wrong with actual events. Pretty clear you’re in an echo chamber of your own.

Obviously that was Obama.
Thanks Obama

And that justifies political ads in the metadata of a pop station because …
Because it was paid for. Plain and simple.
So anything is allowed if the ad is paid for? The KKK can pay for an ad that says “Kill the N—s” and that’s ok?
If i want politics I’ll go to a news channel. If I want music I expect the channel to not be politically involved.
Yep, you’re definitely “trash”.
That’s very classist of you to say
STFU
What is Bidenomics?
Economy in freefall, constantly rising inflation, interest rates through the roof and home prices not falling at all
Free fall, meaning? Inflation is going down. Interest rates are a mechanism to control inflation, and historically are not all that high. Housing is a problem, but nobody is going to do much about it because something something free market. Not everything is great, but not dismal either. I don’t really see how this is Biden’s fault, but I am sure people will still blame.
It’s the Republican buzzword for “Cleaning up the mess Trump left”
That’s the official term presented by the WH. The rest is correct.
Also: Creating a Soft Landing Instead of a Recession
This isnt a soft landing, we are in the middle of a silent depression. And we have not hit bottom yet
My cat has a better grasp on economics than you do. Oh and my cats are rescued from Russia.
Healthy economies do not have skyrocketing credit card debt, skyrocketing car repos, less savings, increasing evictions, and people losing their homes because of unaffordable housing. If the exact same conditions were happening under a GOP, WH liberals would be in an uproar, but since BlueMAGA is running the show they went to brunch while the world burns.
Yeah, it’s a really big mess that needs to be fixed. Thanks Reagan.
That’s all been happening for decades, dude. Literally wtf are you talking about?
What policies have Republicans presented to address those issues besides cutting taxes for the rich and cutting social programs that support working families?
Which of those things weren’t happening under Trump?
Marketing from the Biden team that Democrats use to support their cause and Republicans ironically use to support their cause.
I bet you listen to the other, opposite “they” with a sense of full validity
