Im scared of a Trump win but terrified of a Trump loss. What will happen if he loses a second general election? I would rather see Haley get the nomination because the Trumpers would write in Trump and Biden would win easily. I’m voting for Haley in my state’s primary lmao
Well that’s good news. Now we just gotta see how well she does tomorrow. Biden might actually win in 2024. I’ve been feeling so negative about it because most Americans don’t understand what caused inflation and “well, the economy was better under Trump” means literally nothing when a global pandemic and regional wars fucked the world up
The US Navy is responsible for protecting all maritime shipping regardless of whether it comes to or from the U.S. It’s why the Navy is so freakin big, and why pirates are more or less history. Once the U.S. decides to say fuck it, which will probably happen soon, the globalized world will suddenly be very different when maritime shipping becomes more dangerous.
I think it’s the former. Whatever the US does is bad and whatever its geopolitical adversaries does is good because the U.S. says it’s bad, which means it’s good. The truth is, almost every global power does shady shit that’s objectively bad and instead of picking sides, we should use our voices and votes to influence a more positive, globally-minded government that ends military campaigns abroad unless the UN unequivocally supports intervention.
I’m just hoping that the GOP collapses and the Democratic Party stops drifting to the right. Once it effectively pushes out the Sinemas, Manchins, and Liebermans, we could actually see what a more progressive government could accomplish. And I wouldn’t even call myself a progressive. I’m a liberal who just thinks that maybe we should pay essential workers enough so that they can afford to save for retirement and not just sort of skate by
I agree, but they are working, and wages are up. There’s reason to be optimistic. The issue is how fucking expensive housing is compared to 10 years ago, when rent was already unaffordable in many major cities. Tackling housing costs and passing legislation that increase pay and reduce hours is a must. No one should be working more than 40 hours a week without fair compensation, and the pandemic revealed just who exactly is deemed an essential worker, and they should be paid as such.
2024 is going to be so different than 2020. No Labels will do everything in its power to hand the election to Trump. RFK Jr. ,who is being propped up by Bannon and Flynn, is attempting to take the leftist vote from Biden while No Labels will try to take the moderate vote. Trump has a cult following that will not vote for anyone else other than Trump. If there are four names on the ballot in November, it will go to Trump.
Blame the right wing outlets. WaPo, The Atlantic, NYT, and others are covering him a lot… by exposing how he will try to end democracy as we know it. That’s not the coverage he wants and it’s the coverage that we need to get out there to the uninformed
For the top percentile and the next highest percentile, it certainly jumps up but we also aren’t seeing the numbers of the lowest fall. Theyre not just steady. Theyre slowly rising across the board. Unemployment hasn’t been this low in quite a long time. The gains won’t end here. Especially if the Dems can flip the House and impose higher taxes on the percentiles that can obviously afford it
There’s two ways of looking at the facts, and I don’t think either of us are particularly wrong. The average American family did see their wealth increase but that doesn’t mean that people who aren’t as established in their careers yet aren’t having a really shitty time. What it does mean is that all the factors are pointing to a better economic future for everyone as more boomers retire and more jobs become available
