  • Minimum wage: Dems ran on $15 since 2015. Reality? In 2021, 8 Senate Dems killed it. “$11 is more reasonable”, Result: 20 states still at $7.25.

    Corporate taxes: Biden’s 2022 “win” (15% min tax) affects 150 companies. Meanwhile, Amazon paid 0% in 2021. Dems folded on closing offshore loopholes.

    Military spending: Obama’s “cuts” were a theater. He ended ground wars but quadrupled drone strikes (civilian deaths went up 400%). Biden signs $886B budget, higher than Trump did.

    Healthcare: 2009: Dems had 60 votes. They gutted the public option to please Big Pharma donors.

    Dems had 4 months at 60 seats in 2009 and 18 days at 50+VP in 2021. Both times, they negotiated against themselves.

    Harm reduction in a burning building is not a permanent solution.







  • I’m sorry but this is an old tactic in my country. 2 major parties always fighting for power, and the one always ask to vote them because the other party will destroy the country.

    And the blame goes to the no voters or the ice-cream voters or the voters that turn their back, not to the party itself or to their voters that did shit when they were in power for many years. Maybe its time to pay attention to what caused the problem and not to the result.

    As for the USA, Trump is the outcome of the Democrats acting as Republicans for decades.

    Edit: Last sentence is a bit oversimplification of the story, but Democrats had abandoned the working class and the low income people. They acted like moderate Republicans, especially in the economy.
