    This was a joke, right? Good one

    Yeah, it’s Trump, everything will be fine when he dies!

    Trump could never have been elected without you hacks, your corruption made him possible. He could never be in any position of authority without decades of unbridled rot to pave the way… if he’s the monster, you’re the Dr. Frankenstein who created him.

    Good job

    One day Dems and their moronic supporters will realize they are also the enemy and deserve just as much hate and punishment as conservatives and MAGA

    It’s because Republicans and neoliberal democrats (the majority of them) take their marching orders from the billionaire class.

    A little tone deaf because Trump is in the billionaire class, but I think I get their point. The problem is not just with Trump, but he is also definitely party to it.

      This comment is tone deaf. The DNC are a bunch of billionaire enablers scapegoating Trump.

    “Learned”, lol, yeah that’s what the problem is. They’re just so stupid. So unbelievably stupid. These people with billions of dollars of think tank research and social data, these people who climbed into power, they just aren’t realizing this obvious fact that somehow every non-politician around me has understood since they were 15 years old. They haven’t “learned”.

    Ugh, the stupidest plank the democrat platform - fomenting wealth envy and scapegoating ~1000 people just because of the number of commas in their bank accounts. There are terrible billionaires, but call them out by name instead of lumping them all together in a big pile of sour grapes.

      No, there is no such thing as an ethical billionaire. We must reject this and creates policies to reduce and eventually eliminate the wealth gap.

      They are all terrible. Billionaires are parasites, one and all. It’s not wealth envy - it’s just wanting a FAIR share. Billions is never a fair share.

      The economy is worse under Trump, that’s pretty hard to deny. Yet we continue to insist that Biden was just as bad. It doesn’t make a ton of sense.

        Biden was a horribly inadequate President, and senile besides… an embarrassing alternative. The worst Democratic President of my lifetime, and I am old.

        Truly, he was an AWFUL response to Trump’s presidency, and he’s the reason that Trump was reelected.

        This is all humiliating for Americans, our parties need to be dismantled

      This is my sad hope as well.

      I want the economy to crash so I can afford things.

      Watching homes in my area go from 300k to 1 mil in less than a decade is surreal. This isn’t even a fancy area.

      You’ll never be as good at this as a billionaire who can both bribe and wait indefinitely. Every crash since 2007 has made the working class poorer relative to billionaires.

        As a whole sure. If you have cash to play the game though it’s become very predictable. But if you have cash to play the game you’re not really in the bottom tier of the working class. At this point there’s sort of a second tier of the working class that used to be the “middle class”- owns a house, has a retirement account, a paid off car, probably some sort of emergency savings. These are the people still clinging to the American dream, and can win the game (but are effectively barred from the upper echelons of society still as is the rest of the working class).

    I mean, they’re also right that Trump is making it worse. Hes making it acutely terrible in fact.

    If it were some competent neolib at the helm instead of a retarded fascist we’d only be slightly miserable instead of suicidally miserable.

    Jesus fuck. It can literally be both, especially with this fatted calf.

    Also in terms of affordability of daily good and gas, it literally, majority because of Trump, the billionaire grifter, and his tariffs and his stupid thinking he’s Jesus and started a War with Iran and the Republicans refusing to rein him in and the Democrats voting with them.

    At LEAST blame Republicans, not Trump.

    That Democrats waste time pointing the finger at Trump means Republicans get to reset after this like they aren’t fully fucking complicit and responsible for promoting Trump to power. And yes, those pro-Israel Dem representatives deserve a portion of blame as well.

      Democrats blame Republicans as well, it’s just that they’re essentially the same thing (by that I mean Trump and Republicans). Republicans are afraid of Trump’s cult, so they fall in line. Not that that excuses them, they deserve endless criticism but it’s also false to say ONLY Trump is criticized. More like Trump is criticized for immorality, corruption and idiotic policy while Republicans are criticized for their cowardice.

      It’s systemic and by design, yes Greedy Old Pedophile party is predominant and unmasked but the design has been flawed from the inception. Built with slavery and genocide the American Dream has always been for the privileged white man.
