@AverageJoeIowan People being rich doesn't cause poverty because money isn't zero sum.

The average person voting Republican is voting against their own economic wellbeing. It's been that way since Reagan and getting worse.

@xtabi_ Liberals define empathy by the willingness to use government force to take wealth from some and give to others.
English
Conservatives entire ideology is based on hatred and the lack of empathy towards others. Explain how people with so much hatred in their minds are generally happier?
Jardani🕊️@jardani41
Conservatives are generally happier than liberals. Why? Because we actually have foundation and family values.

@yourlittldogtwo Those entitlement programs are unsustainable and the 40 hour work week was the result of capital investment in superior means of production. It had nothing to do with unions or government laws.
English
The Democratic Party gave you:
Social Security
Medicare
Medicaid
Obamacare
The 40 hour work week
Women the right to vote
The Civil Rights Act
The Voting Rights Act
Gay marriage
The Fair Housing Act
And so much more....
But sure, keep singing that same tired "Democrats ain't shit" song that Hasan Piker and the other communists and chaos agents taught you. It's not gonna make him want to bang you bro.
It just keeps liberals divided so that you never have the unity or allies help you get the things you claim to want.

This is the future of the Democrat party (Democratic Socialism) and it’s sad literally the only thing holding it back is neoliberal freaks who would rather work with Republicans than people who want universal healthcare, better wages, & a better floor of living. It’s wild to me.

@Richard_ezio There should be no minimum wage at any level. All this means is that the most inexperienced workers who can't produce 15$ an hour worth of value will now be making 0$.
English
J.B. Pritzker raised IL's min wage to $15 while red states cling to the $7.25 federal minimum—$14k/year, unlivable even where costs are lowest.
Trump gave billionaires tax cuts while workers drowned. 50-state data proves red states exploit the poor.
English
@TheMightyDino @Tanya_Sabrinaaa Those who want to tax the rich even more are bootlickers for the state.

@snonkhonkin @Tanya_Sabrinaaa The existence of billionaires doesn't produce slavery.

@JaneotN Not only is this untrue, but several policies supported by the Democratic Party today have their roots in racism. Policies like the minimum wage, abortion and gun control. Not to mention the soft bigotry of lower expectations.

In the 1860s the first Klan was mostly bitter Southern Democrats, opposed to Reconstruction and the Republican federal gov't.
They flipped from Democrat to Republican in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The KKK was MAGA's first iteration. They don't need hoods now.
Irene Armendariz-Jackson@BorderIrene
When are Democrats going to understand that we know they are the party of the KKK?

@skumWgmi That productivity doesn't go into every area of the economy equally. Simply because the economy is that much more productive as a whole doesn't mean that every worker is going to see an increase in pay to that degree.
English
@jhartman1422 @skumWgmi Labor unions did absolutely nothing to raise worker wages.
English
@skumWgmi That’s why European companies have a Labor Union rep on the Board of Directors to protect workers vs the CEO! What is so wrong about that considering USA CEO pay?
English
@tonyannett No one actually paid those taxes and no, they weren't the "golden years."
English
During the 30 golden years, the American top income tax rate varied from 70% to 94%.

There is no economy in the history of the world that has taxed its way to economic growth and prosperity.

@Whatamess24 @patternote @alluringmedia Nope. What I said was 100 percent correct and you are severely ignorant of actual facts. Which of course, you would have to be to think the way you do.

Bush destroyed Clinton's economy.
Obama fixed Bush's mess.
Trump destroyed Obama's economy.
Biden fixed Trump’s mess and now Trump has destroyed what Biden fixed.
The biggest lie that Republicans have gotten away with is that they are better for the economy.

@Whatamess24 @patternote @alluringmedia They were unarmed and the only death was at the hands of the state. But you already knew that, right?
English
@LibertarianSF @patternote @alluringmedia Sure sure, his armed cultists attacking the Capitol to try and hang the VP and stop the peaceful transfer of power was not an insurrection.
I bet this isn’t him describing his illegal and unconstitutional plan to steal the election he lost.

@omgsidewalks Liberals define empathy by how much money they're willing to violently seize from society to supposedly solve problems that they don't actually solve.
English
No, pretty sure it's the lack of empathy.

@maddenifico Being represented politically by someone of the same race as you does not in any way benefit you.

This is why lifetime positions in the Supreme Court must be abolished. All it took to take America back to the days of Jim Crow was six woefully out of touch conservative Supreme Court justices to gut The Civil Rights Act. Women have lost autonomy over their bodies and Black people have lost their representation in congress.
English
@colleenaschwab Making the minimum wage higher prices the least experienced out of the market. The real minimum wage is 0$.
English
People don't even realize that they are repeating Regan era propaganda. When they relate min wage to being specifically for teens or "starter" jobs, rather than a standard wage for living.
𐌁𐌉Ᏽ 𐌕𐌉𐌌𐌉@OrevaZSN
The minimum wage is meant to be the lowest wage you can live on and afford housing. So, for everyone saying "it's not meant to be that," yes, it is. That's why it's called the minimum wage.

BREAKING: A conservative court packed with Trump-appointed judges just ruled to ROLL BACK access to the abortion pill.
This is a page straight out of extremist Republicans’ anti-abortion playbook.
Let me be clear: the abortion pill is safe and effective.
We must fight back.

@RossKneeDeep Affirmative Action hurts blacks by placing them in institutions they aren't prepared for. Thinking Thomas owes white liberals credit for his success and that he'd be nothing without them is a form of white supremacy.
English
I'm pretty sure that Thurgood Marshall would be rolling over in his grave. Knowing that he was replaced by a black man whose only job has been the repress and deny black people equality.
Ironically, Clarence Thomas met his wife Ginni in 1986 at an affirmative action conference, which they both opposed. They bonded over making sure the playing field was never level for blacks and a year later in 1987 they married.
What's so perplexing about Clarence Thomas is that he benefited from affirmative action during his admission to Yale Law School in 1971. Yale aimed to increase minority enrollment to roughly 10% of the class. He later decided that wasn't a good thing.
Clarence Thomas benefited from affirmative action. Then he decided, no other black person should.
Self-hatred is a helluva drug.
