  • This article touches on important: what are the Democrats in Congress doing to prepare for another Trump presidency?

    He's been pretty vocal about his vindictive he wants to be so you would expect them to say least be trying to push laws to restrict the abuse that he, or any other president could on political enemies.

    The article mentions a bipartisan bill that passed the house but couldn't get through the Senate. Why aren't Democrats talking about that bill more publicly to get it passed?

  • Its about convincing people still on the fence with Trump. The most vocal are saying that the jury was a sham. The ones in the middle are less vocal. By not giving vocal Republicans any ammo, it helps make a convincing case to those Republican voters that weren't hardline republicans/MAGAs. They're the ones we need along with the voters that switch from the 2016 to 2020 elections.

  • I feel you're kinda talking past ChapulinColorado's comment. He's indicating that for many people they would should have a simple tax filing process where they don't receive money outside of what's reported to the IRS already. Many workers only have a W2 and use the standard deduction. They shouldn't have to pay a 3rd party to get their taxes done, and it shouldn't take them almost any time to file a return.

    yes you're also right that people would still need to confirm what their income is (especially if its not reported to the IRS), but that doesn't apply to a large section of the US Population.

  • Yeah, so the fact that he wasn't proves my point. The Judge wasn't showing signs of wanting to get Trump convicted. Compare that to if Trump is required to be in jail throughout the trail, because he was held in contempt. The right would be saying the judge, and this same verdict, were corrupt. That's what they're saying, now but there's less evidence for them to use.

  • I disagree with that. The judges need to be a bit lenient with him so nobody can say that the judge was biased against him. This was sort of frustrating to those of us who saw the judge as being too nice to Trump, but its now a lot harder to say he was gunning to get him convicted.

  • I think this meme is hilarious because most of these things are things that Biden or the Democrats are actively trying to better, and Trump would actively not help(wages would be the only one he would say he would improve, while passing tax cuts for the rich).

    This feels like a meme someone who only watches OAN or Fox news would make, thinking that the things they say is real reporting.

  • Or a product of the current news setting. You're basically saying that all R voters are complete idiots when they make up a large portion of the country (not the majority of course). This line of statements encourages R voters to entrench themselves, while not looking great to those on the fence.

    I have friends who I respect that I'd classify as either R or on the fence. Where they get their news (Youtube, TikTok, Fox) is very attractive to their views but also incorrect at times. These sources are, for all intensive purposes, their eyes and ears of the political world. How can they not trust their eyes and ears?

    Some people start to come around because lies start to break apart after a while. Some that are mad that the Covid hoax, which isn't real, but is also going away in spring of 2020, and can't really hurt people, still killed their family members. They see glimpses of Trump being an idiot, and dangerous and start to question what they're being told and weather Biden is such a bad option in comparison. Making it easier for people to change their minds, and not insulting them and their friends, makes it easier to get people to vote blue or not vote red.

  • I feel it's been common knowledge since after the first month of the war that Russia has miscalculated significantly. They sent in paratroopers, some of the most time consuming and most expensive soldiers to train, into Kyiv where they were summarily killed or captured with no support. Other units ran out of ammo and fuel, with soldiers indicating they weren't expecting to invade.

    Every day this war lasts is a spit in the face to Putin and his shitty planning.
