(he/him/his) I'm a leftist politician, policy wonk and community leader.
I am in early stages of organizing a group to help people in need! Of anything!
@nunyabizniz80 The Democrats are absolutely there to lose.
Their job is to "fight the good fight" and lose, and the GOP's job is to convince regular people that lowering everyone's taxes is a good deal for them.
It just means you have to come out of pocket for everything like health care, etc
@Katpa73 @BonniBK I think the mistake we made was letting murderous monsters who can lie with a straight face run everything.
I've been in rooms with some of these people, and it felt like being a rabbit sitting in a pen of wolves, because unlike them, I can feel guilt and have a conscience.
@Judson4Congress Nah, they've just been bullshitted into believing that lower taxes are a reasonable deal for them, when it only puts more money into the pockets of the rich.
What would you prefer? 10% less taxes on wages, or free healthcare, free education through college, free child care, etc?
@dhjshi_shi@RevDrBarber@UniteThePoor I'm considering it, but haven't decided specifically on one course of action at the moment.
Are you affiliated with UniteThePoor yourself?
@dhjshi_shi@RevDrBarber@UniteThePoor That is absolutely an advantage. No baggage.
I found out after speaking to thousands of voters that everyone is reasonable about almost all issues.
Any of us could sit down and hash everything out in an afternoon, it's those who benefit from the status quo who are stopping us.
@dhjshi_shi The saddest part about poor Republican voters is that they've been convinced that lowering taxes is a good deal for them, when all it does is make everything else that they have to access cost them more.
Health care, school supplies, food, etc.
@dhjshi_shi I apologize for not answering this earlier, but who would you be referring to? If you're speaking of poor Republican voters, I think it's possible to argue that they're not actually voting against what they believe are their interests.
@RantTransparent @denofcinema5 Not to mention that he 100% bullshitted that crap about Desert Storm having anything to do with the "cold" cyberwar we're in...
We started it when we blew up Iran's centrifuges. He's smart enough to know that, and I'm disappointed in Dan Carlin for not piping up, he knows too.
@JeffRoushPoetry@TuckerCarlson I mean, he's the child of the wealthy. I'm sure he believes a lot of it, but he's performing in the Howard Stern sense.
You either love what he says, or hate it, and that's why you listen to it. But, he's just saying shit, and I worry repeating it just increases his power.
@watts4congress This thread hits the bullseye.
The Righteous Anger Dealers make more money than all the drug dealers combined (not including Big Pharma).
It's the most potent drug and held me in thrall from 15-35, but I'm trying to kick it.
We HAVE, HAVE, HAVE to start coming TOGETHER!
@notdavidgrohl@HillcrestCardCo@MrHaze20321727 The thing that makes me so proud about Gen Z is that it's true.
They luckily grew up with the early internet and are so fucking smart and can smell bullshit from 10 miles away.
If anyone can fix this mire of shit we're in, it'll be them.
@ClaytonCardell @carterforva Being an asshole is the least you can do!
They've robbed millions of more than just their livelihoods.
You know how pretty much everything's racist?
Everything is also for their benefit and against yours.
EVE-RY-THING.
School. Politics. Journalism. Science. Film. TV. Sports.
@aaronhuertas@Indiawaltonbflo@daveweigel They went ahead with the blowback BEFORE I was elected in my case.
Probably gave me a gift, because if I had won I would have probably lost my mind.
I saw how corrupt and terrible it was from my outside, but still closer vantage, and it would have eaten me all the way up.
@NCAGO@JoshStein_ I can explain how the Affordable Care Act was one of the worst pieces of legislation passed by a Democrat, and that's saying something considering NAFTA.
I ran as a Democrat. I know the intentions of Democratic voters are pure, but either y'all are BSing us or you're being used.
@andrewperezdc I had people tell me to my face that I was lying when I told them I was sent away from a local ER because of an outstanding bill.
People will look back one day if they're able and say that this is the DARK AGES when it comes to access to care.
It's killing and killed MILLIONS!
