- Just the political issues we all face but are the best “hot button” issues
All that sort of stuff. I’m not minimizing stuff like Palestine of course, but I don’t recall in the seemingly endless 2020-2024 election campaign. I don’t really think I heard any sort of real “kitchen table issues”. I feel like even the most basic political issues have been obfuscated or ignored. It feels like these very political issues have been removed from the sphere of political discourse.
I don’t know what my larger point is, but it feels strange to think that for example I haven’t heard a single mention of something like higher education costs for example. This isn’t just a dunk on Democrats either, though it is worth saying “get fucked losers”, but I think since about 2020 I haven’t heard a damn thing about healthcare or housing in a real political way from the big two or the media in general.
Again this isn’t to meant to minimize any other real problems either, not trying to “this is more important than that”, just saying I haven’t political people talk about politics all the while not being able to escape the political dimension
Mocking people for caring about grocery prices is common among libs now
ENJOY your AFFORDABLE MACRONUTRIENTS, can’t wait to watch trump deport you and your family
please donate
That’s vile. I can’t imagine thinking it’s cool to dunk on others that are struggling. That’s the sort of lowbrow shit they hate about their supposed opposition
They frame it as mocking trump supporters but what they really show is that they’ve never had to worry about where their next meal is coming from
I was chatting with a Mexican friend the other day and had the realization that if Democrats were willing to promise half the shit AMLO has done they would win in a landslide. But they aren’t even willing to lie!
Big time agreed! Mexico is also another capitalist nightmare country as with its own unique evils, but they at least some some of the basics niceties of social democratic policies. They didn’t even try to lie is also one of the most lazy ass American entitlement bullshit things I can thing of.
I think it’s because the DNC didn’t select Kamala via a primary, so she never had to make any campaign promises to the progressive wing of the party, there were never any debates or opposition campaigning for any of these issues that would cause them to show up in mainstream media. Every piece of Kamala’s campaign and planned administration was sold to donors from the start and totally tailored for them.
I’ve been thinking of this a lot and it’s really why Trump won so hard isn’t it? Right wing media people blamed it on all sorts of wrong shit but they acknowledged that there’s a problem with everyday people’s finances
That’s pretty much exactly it, if you ever talk to Trump supporters.
Yeah racism, bigotry, etc is their solution; but they mostly care about why groceries are expensive, why rent is expensive, why they can apply for a thousand jobs and get one singular interview for a job that doesn’t pay enough for anything. Dems failed to do the bare minimum, acknowledge that the vast majority of people in the US are struggling due to systemic issues. Trump acknowledged that and offered solutions, even if they’re horrifying. Even the trans stuff and other “culture war” items are rooted in financial stress.

Yep. We saw this before in Hitler’s rise to power too, and we’re watching as the libs repeat it
Harris made an ad about it and her billionaire donors told her to knock it off. I’m barely exaggerating
