Well, that wasn't exactly my question. I know you live in Minnesota.


Making your life better and being a success in something are two different things.
...and

Why are you on a first name basis with Governor Walz?
No. But he is a great leader and a hero. He will make your life better when he is vice president! Get back to me in 4 years
 
Correct. And I maintain this both to lukewarm disenfranchised centrists, enlightened non-affiliated ones, and accelerationist Tankies/lefties who dump on electorialism. All are just ok with handing the keys to the drunk driver.

We're not okay with it. We're desperate and we have varying time sensitive problems. I think I speak for most of the people in all these groups when I say we wanted none of this.

Tim Walz is not a great leader nor a hero. He and Harris have already made my life miserable. No need to get back to you in 4 years. Donald Trump will be the next President. Let us see how well Harris does when she debates Trump. If she debates Trump. She will burn and crash like Biden did. I think Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would be a great candidate if he ran on the Democratic ticket.

He is my hero. I'm proud to let everyone know he is a hero. I live in the state he is governor. If you don't I see you as a weak troll.
 
He gave it away with "gave the option to report on others". Laid it on too thick with that line. He was doing okay but got greedy haha.
When you have something better to say let me know. You are way off topic. You can do better. I will take a nap now and when I wake up I better see better.

Allowing it to happen knowing the consequences is the same as being ok with it, functionally. I honestly believe you have some depth of feeling about it, but you're a minority compared to those I've had this conversation with in other areas. Most seem almost gleeful at the prospect of being proven right, and wholly dismissive of the destruction that would follow. Some even openly stating they're ok with the US burning because the US deserves it.

Yeah, no better than their own alleged enemies.

The guy's brain is soup, he's a convicted felon, rapist, fraudster, and close personal friend of the most notorious CST in History. His recent press conference has his own party starting to yearn for HIS replacement.

Guy is gonna get crushed, and then try to coup again.

To be honest, I see where that filthy communist idiot is coming from. I didn’t want any of this. I won’t vote for either candidate.

Is Trump more of a “threat to democracy”? I guess? I see him as a petulant moron more than a legitimate competent threat to anything.

My goal, as always, is to make as much money as possible and remove myself from needing to care about anything.
 
A lot of this stuff is just typical sperging from Nostracuckass. But, I feel the need to clear some of the misinformation for the people interested in an actual discussion.
"Affective"?

Closing the border, lowering taxes for everybody, but especially the 5 million middle and working class tipped workers who won't have their tips taxed, stop funding foreign wars, increase energy production to lower the costs, school choice and keeping women's sports for women.

He already did the job and the average family's income increased and energy was cheaper, and has declined under the Harris administration or whoever the hell is running the country for dementia Joe, and we've had a years long border crisis.
To preface, comparing Biden and Trump's presidency's side by side when they were both given vastly different starting points is pretty insincere. Trump had the leisure of Obama's thriving economy and Biden was given the starting point of a chaotic pandemic and net-negative job growth. Eitherway, we can try to compare policies side by side but keep in mind that pandemic is definetely a game changer.

For starters, "duh the tax cuts", the tax cuts are great and here is the kicker, Biden maintained those tax cuts for the most part. The difference is that he made sure that the uber wealthy were more accountable and the common man was not getting fucked over by them. To put this in further context, Trump's 2017 tax cuts lead to:

"Households with incomes in the top 1 percent will receive an average tax cut of more than $60,000 in 2025, compared to an average tax cut of less than $500 for households in the bottom 60 percent, according to the Tax Policy Center (TPC).". (https://www.cato.org/blog/president...gration-he-did-not-reduce-illegal-immigration)

Secondly, the claim that Trump is out to help the middle class even apart from tax cuts is an utter joke. The guy boasts about cancelling water breaks for construction workers ffs. Just look at how Biden's job growth crushes Trump's "job growth". If you want to play the COVID Card and explain thats the reason for variation then you must apply that condition to inflation which has trampled the rest of the world because of its aftermath. Even if you want to look at things in a sequenced state to state basis, blue states dwarf red states in average merits of education, minimum wage and having a unified family unit.

The MAGA complaints about "spending tax dollars" on the foreign wars is comical. Considering that Trump has bitched and moaned about how we are not doing enough to help for Israel. Here is a link to Andrew Schulz explaining it in simple terms about how most of that money is implemented into US corporations. Furthemore, it is a good investment because it creates American Jobs and we are able to use that pint of our military budget to wear down Russia which has the United States greenlit as an enemy. On the other hand, Trump wants to send our troops into Mexico to pull off Fast and Furious stunts which is hysterical to put it lightly. He also persisted in wasting our troops in Afghanistan and utility despite promising to pull us out of there.

Also increasing energy production will not make it cheaper....Drilling more oil is not going to magically diminish gas prices either and we are already on a rampage with that shit (#1 in the world in regards to oil production already).

There's no such thing as "legitimate competent" fascists, they're NOTORIOUS for incompetence, and that's part of their threat. Malicious narcissism plus incompetence = chaos.

But hey at least you're honest about not particularly giving a f*ck what happens to anyone so long as you see a path to riches.

I mean, he can bring chaos but he has no ability to do lasting damage because he’s an idiot.

The reason I only care about my own wealth is that the whole system is F’d and the only thing I care about is my family. No politician on a national level gives a shit about me or mine.
