Opinion How does it feel to be a democrat right now?

I am waiting to decide after gas prices drop to 1.50 a gallon an 1.99 a dozen for eggs and buying lumber at much lower prices and the market goes to 60,000 points. And we don't invade Canada, Mexico and Greenland without military action in these Countries or provinces.

Why point out all the shit they, themselves have caused?

Well, because it's always a debate as to what causes what.

Serious question--- what caused the massive spike in groceries? Biden? How? What are the threads that tie from higher grocery costs to things that Biden has specifically done? And how do we know the market was responding to those threads and not something else? This kind of thing is almost never simple- there's never one or even five reasons but hundreds.

What's happening in California right now should destroy the progressive Democrat agenda but they are still clinging to their agenda.

John Fetterman ironically is one of the few Democrats trying to change with the times by becoming more moderate.

I typically love to piss of progressists but how is widespread fire a partisan issue at all?

Not that only Biden was responsible, but inflation worldwide was caused by a mixture of the governments shutting down businesses, keeping people out of work for longer then necessary, vaccine mandates and money printing.

We knew very early on that covid was not dangerous for the average healthy working class person. Despite knowing that, our government still pursued all their covid policies which did almost nothing to protect the average healthy person, yet did an enormous amount to fill the pockets of big pharma and consolidate wealth into the hands of billionaires. All at the expense of ordinary American citizens.

4-5 years later and we're still footing the bill for their scam.

Forest mismanagement, water mismanagement, lack of accountability in spending on critical infrastructure to prevent this, cutting down diverse forests and planting monocultures of trees (so that a single parasite/disease can kill a bunch of the same trees, causing a lot of dead wood in an area to accumulate which eventually becomes tinder for wildfires). I'm sure there's more factors that contribute to their wildfires but I think those are the common ones thrown around.

I'm in a better position than most to weather the coming shit storm, so I will gladly sit back and watch it unfold while doing my utmost to make fun of the gullible retards on here that actually voted for Felonious Chunk. They own the blame for what the next 4 (+?) years bring.

My hands are clean.

I think that what you are describing is prevalent worldwide and is not attributable to one single administration.

Both parties have become absurd, farcical representations of what each once stood for. The lowest brow possible on either side of the aisle.

Thanks internet.

The political landscape in America is beyond explanation.

Come on man, that‘s another thing which cannot really be linked to a single administration. All of that happened in various countries. And btw they were meant to protect the weak. Not the aversge healthy dude.

Yeah I addressed that it wasn't just on Biden in the first sentence there.

You protect the weak by protecting the weak. You don't protect the weak by keeping the strong from working. Florida did it right, which is why all the democrats that were shutting their districts down were vacationing in Florida.

edit - just realized that my first sentence in that post wasn't well written. I mean to say that it wasn't just Biden that had horrific covid policies, it was governments worldwide as well.

Democrat policies are not all unified. There are many democrats who don't espouse all the nonsense that the Trump campaign capitalized on. Like the trans bullshit. Most people are not obsessed with pronouns. Most people don't want to expose kids to that nonsense. And on the left, a lot of the people who tolerate it, only do so because it's fanatics on their own team. Trump was able to scare a lot of people into thinking that everybody wants to turn everyone into a trans person.

The sad thing is that the Democrats didn't lose on policy, they lost on the identity issues. Trump is not going to help people with home or rent prices, wages shrinking relative to cost of living, or student loans. It looks like he's going to backpedal even on one of his cornerstones which was immigration. Democrats did not wage the right kind of war. They should have hammered the things that are truly hurting citizens- food, employment and cost of living. But to be fair they should have been doing that before the election.

The campaign didn’t even mention changing the healthcare system. They have run on changing the healthcare system every year since fucking Bill Clinton. Not mentioning the healthcare system is like benching your star player for the final game

I assume it feels better than that chick LOL

What did this man do to you? You made an entire thread about him and you in every thread bringing him up. Were you two buddies back in the day and he stopped returning your phone calls?

I never heard of this Kyle

because they wouldn't have been so widespread if they had what they needed. but they didn't. because democrat mayor and governor made democrat decisions.

Most places don't have the massive funding that the CA government does to address these issues. And it's not like it's a one-time thing. People have been warning about this for decades in California because they constantly see wildfires and mismanagement from the state government with these issues.

California hasn't really added any major water infrastructure since 1970s, when it had less than half the people they have now. So is it really a surprise that they are constantly lacking water, especially enough to fight wildfires that are constantly occurring in the state? https://www.politifact.com/factchec...alifornia-have-same-water-infrastructure-it-/

The problem I see with California is they are spending huge amounts of taxpayer money but getting little out of it. I think that it may be one of the most corrupt states in the country given the amount of money they take in and how the state just continues to decay over time.

Yes....fk the people that pax all those fkin taxes.

Newsome looks like a gelled up clown

 

[Darkballs]

Same as it did last year, and the year before that, and the year before that....

I'm just one guy. Getting worked up about the way elections go is a waste of anyones time. I'll continue on the way I always do; crossing my fingers and hoping those in power don't fuck it up.
