What makes you think Andrew Yang is attempting to represent people? He’s operating a money/power grab
Honestly if you thought Trumps campaign was about helping people I’m just going to completely disengage from this convo because that’s pretty dumb
I don’t think he’s saying that, he’s just saying that even an obviously selfish candidate like Trump publicly portrayed himself as a populist.
He kind of did, but he also kind of didn’t, he constantly contradicted himself, but he did use a lot of populist talking points.
The only reason that mans sentences aren’t all 14 words is because he can’t count that high. There were not populist talking points. That campaign was all coded racism
He's a man with 0 convictions and it was totally hollow but his messaging around healthcare was very populist ran counter to your typical GOP messaging. Of course he operated in the manner his corporate handlers wanted once he was president, but there's no doubt his lies on healthcare helped him. https://www.statnews.com/2016/02/05/trump-cruz-universal-health-care/
The entire Dem identity is preaching "when we vote, we win" then spend all their time not giving people reasons to want to vote. Sadly, the GOP can't help themselves and be ghouls, so it rallies people to vote against monsters. Eventually, the Republicans will figure it out and run a guy who sucks but knows how to keep his trap shut. When that happens, its over.
In his eyes it’s very mean of the state to prohibit him from trafficking minors for sex. Life is really all a matter of perspective.
I don’t think the gop gives much reason for their cult to vote either. No wall. Still have the ACA. It’s all just rhetoric and ideological stroke fodder with the donor class and wealthy benefiting. Some cruel, racist crumbs go to the biggest mouth breathers, kind of the opposite end of some performative shit Dems might feed progressives.
The sheer amount of people against anything that would remotely help Americans has convinced me nothing short of a full collapse of the government will bring about any kind of change. With that said we’ll be a right wing dictatorship before that happens. it’s over
Republican voters aren’t policy voters. There’s zero reason for Republicans to offer policy solutions - their voters don’t care.
Remember he's one of the "Good republicans". The fact that anyone thinks someone like Romney is "Good" at all is a failure by the American public. I no longer call it a failure of the media because they're in on it. Pieces of shit Mitt would be far more useful to people if he was grounded down into a fine paste.
The progress that has been made regarding eliminating the filibuster in such a short period of time would be incredibly encouraging, if the Republican party hadn't been taken over by a fascist movement. Sort of a turd in the optimism punchbowl.
Lmao what a stupid as way to try and frame the magnitude of trillions. Trillions looks like better fucking roads and not being poor bc both parents have to work and pay 20k/year for child care. Mouth breather.
If crypto currency taught us anything, it is that money isn't real. Only vides. We have the human capacity to make longterm suffering less worse. But a bunch of old dickheads say no. I'd suggest we eat them.
