"Call Erin a slut and hang up"
dems platform is "Don't side with the republicans"
They've adjusted the rules. In any case this time there's no obvious heir apparent.
Which is not a real platform
They will not win until their house is in order
Their Platform is the Progressive Stack.
It's something both parties need really
You know what's funny? The thing that made me into a republican was never hearing ANYTHING good about them
They need to redefine themselves
A lot will be told by what the House works on out of the gate
you saying the assassination of Ocasio Cortez by right wing coca cola deathsquads?
Realistically there's something good about everyone
Good and evil are subjective and not a reasonable metric
So far I'm seeing a Medicare "buy in" for those 50-64yo
Yeah but I never heard anything positive ever about republicans, And then I started looking at what they had to say
A $15/hr minimum
And life made a lot more sense to me
the republican stances aren't positive cuz they're realistic, and have solutions, not goals
15/hr min is dumb, it needs to adjust with cost of living and inflation
its not "lets make the world a better place" its "Lets keep things stable"
Why want a unrealistic goal
cuz it sounds good on paper
and western people don't have concern for life anymore, so they have concern for moral goodness
Tim wants to live in a van down by the river.
I want to live in a small home.
But I can't even afford a studio because col is fucked compared to minimum wage
And I live in the jurisdiction of the socialist state of Seattle.
pff
come back when you have 52% tax for anyone earning more than 60k per year
then go and call something socialist
We have the highest minimum wage in the nation and a socialist in the city leadership
I'm in Europe, the democratic party is looking capitalist to me
Lol
I liked bernies idea of max wage for ceos based off the average income of their employees
No
Cause the rampant wealth hording is bad imo
That just leads to LESS employees to keep the average up.
they don't hoard it into a big bunker like Scrooge McDuck though,
Most of that money is invested back into the country
Yet the income they pay their workers has not kept up with inflation
thats cuz the jobs aren't worth more than that
if you want higher wages, get less employees that can do the job
