I’m not sure it won’t just get old. I imagine pre-claiming “rigged” just exposes the playbook and after the fifth or sixth time the reaction is “not this again” rather than “omg this time it’s real!”
you would think but they are shameless . and the moves they are trying to make in Arizona and Georgia are worrying
theres a reflex to think much of NY's ultrawealthy are Trump types when the reality is they're mostly Bernie types with a sprinkling of Bloomberg-types whether you connect the dots between Bloomberg and Trump is the choose your own adventure part
I mean what does he think? He’s an idiot who says dumb shit. The problem is the country is fucking stupid. Replace him with some other idiot conservative and they’d eat his shit up like slop too. These people should be fed to lions
That guy definitely wants people to kill those in their way. Deranged Christian extremists are by far the biggest threat out of any group of people.
It’s a failure of the citizens in this country that a politician can say this disgusting shit not be deathly afraid for their health and safety.
As bad as that was, and it was transparently vile and hideous, the 2nd part is just as concerning. Tucker is cornering the market on populism. That messaging combined with a racist “they’re taking it from you and YOU deserve it, not them” undercurrent is going to resonate.
scarborough is interestingly enough maybe the most representative of your average voter policy positions are all over the place, often contradictory, doesn't think about things that hard
He doesn't believe it and isn't a deranged Christian. He'll do/say absolutely anything, including incite violence and lie through his teeth to try and advance his career. Just as dangerous.
I missed AOC's IG post about taxing the rich so we can have childcare healthcare ect.. Taxing the rich = good policy. Saying we need to so we can pay for all that stuff = false, dumb and bad. She knows better. I will give her the benefit of the doubt and say she's playing politics because we're trying to get a recon bill through, that is net zero. However acquiescing to the 'how we gonna pay for it ' framing is a long term losing battle and it's frustrating.
He's not wrong. Money isn't real and you don't need to tax something to pay for other things. This isn't a household. We print money so print the money and pay for things. Also tax the rich because it's the right thing to do and disparate wealth is both immoral and bad for the economy. But it's not to pay for things.
Yes he is correct BUT Americans are stupid. So u have to treat them like dumb fuck pieces of shit they are
I don't disagree but framing yourself outside the other side's argument is important. People only realize things can be viewed differently if one side doesn't capitulate to the commonly held but incorrect belief. It's a reasonable critique.
First of all - Youre one that criticized the dress! Maybe we can be bunk mates in the gulag. Second of all - Americans are stupid and have been fed the same fiscal fairly tale since the late 70s/80s. Youre only playing by their rules, that dont even apply if you continue to frame everything by the rules they set. We will not get all those social services if we continue to advocate for if we continue to play by the deficits are bad (or real), how are we going to pay for it. At some point we need to frame things in terms of how the economy actually operates. The question is not, "will this spending create a deficit? How can we take away something to lessen the deficit" Nothign will get done that way. The question is "Will this spending cause inflation? How can we address those pressures" That is how we get shit done.
The truth is that that catholic school kid from Kentucky is the powerful - not the downtrodden that needs the media’s protection.
aoc i will explain the money printer and how it works over a presidente marg at the local chilis bar and grill have a debate with me coward
i agree with all this but man its the rhetorical lift of a lifetime to make due to americans ideology people want to tax rich people more and have the government do things, linking them isn't the worst short term move until we all MMT4ever
alternate Rubio statement: "Look, if the sitting President wants to nuke his own citizens, he should be allowed to do so"
seriously these people clearly have no concept of what nuclear war means or they would avoid it at all cost
