@Another_Jme @MinModulation It’s because the only opposition, the Democrats, aren’t exactly popular either. Their strategy is just relying on when Republicans fuck up so people vote for the non-incumbent party

@MinModulation As a non-American from somewhere with mandatory voting, it is kind of insane to me that the Republican party can remain so successful yet unpopular by cultivating the most deranged fanbase that actually turns out to vote. Fandom ass political meta.

It’s so fascinating how Marco Rubio has continued to be the official Smart Republican Who Can Fix Everything for 15+ years at this point. He’s like the soyservative horseshoe crab.

@themanupod @Rakeshhkumaar That's corporatism not capitalism. Im sorry you are so brainwashed. Competitins is the CENTRAL component of capitalism
If you took economics in school, you would know that, but you have been raised to be ignorant.
Corporations don't want you to know the truth.
English
Reagan blamed inflation on government spending for ordinary people while corporations kept receiving subsidies, tax cuts, and bailouts because admitting that corporations raise prices to protect profits would expose how capitalism actually works.

@r0berto_mid_5 At this point any change in polling is just noise. I’d take them seriously starting next year, we aren’t even through the midterms yet

AOC number is good but holy shit, did not expect newsom to collapse so fast. I’ve been noticing that he’s been getting less than 20% in polls for a while now. He was only leading harris briefly last year
Political Polls@PpollingNumbers
New - 2028 presidential poll 🔵 Harris 34% 🔵 Newsom 12% (-8) 🔵 AOC 11% (+4) 🔵 Buttigieg 10% 🔵 Shapiro 9% 🔵 Kelly 9% Rasmussen #B - LV - 5/20

@BozoVinny @SeanDaBlack I wonder what change happened in the Democratic Party during the 90’s…hmm just can’t put my finger on it…
English
@SeanDaBlack Whets crazy is that this is a new phenomenon. Dems controlled the House for 40 years straight, 1955-1994.
English
Until the dems actually step up and lead, yes.

Is the country really just going to flip-flop every 4 years?

Why would the pro-Becerra forces take the PR hit for accepting Chevron & Meta money? Because the internal polls circulating in Sacramento show this race is a jump-ball, and business interests are terrified of a Steyer win. They are desperate.

Chevron cuts a $500,000 check to an independent expenditure committee backing Xavier Becerra in the CA Governor's race

@kristinpete_38 @shboogies “Better things are not possible” yay !! It’s the heckin’ wholesome Becerra era 💙🌴
English
@shboogies Dems here just conclude that all of CA's problems are unavoidable: "it's just because of the nice weather and everyone wants to be here".
English
If you are a California resident voting for Becerra, knowing he’s received millions from PG&E, I have one question, what the actual fuck is wrong with you??????
English
@RichM26446327 @kentuckyfriedp5 @LeftyWinter Steyer has literally said he needs to pay more taxes and that the current proposed billionaire tax doesn’t go far enough.
English
@kentuckyfriedp5 @LeftyWinter "Hate the billionaires! They need to pay their fair share! They're greedy!"
"Well, except this one."
English
Vote for Tom Steyer.
He's down in the polls but we gotta keep trying!

Xavier Becerra, candidate for California Governor, has just received $950,000 from Meta to his Super PAC

@bluedoggeosh @RoKhannaNews Against both a Republican and a breakaway Democrat who got funding out the ass to try and stop Zohran. Yeah I’d say it’s a pretty big flex

it's been tried, didn't work out so well.

I’d rather vote for the AIPAC candidate than the DSA one. At least one of those is a pro america organization and it isn’t the DSA.

@BlueScreenNPC @ChainlinkJohnny @GunnelsWarren The horror of going from $8000000000 to $4800000000 what’s he ever gonna do 😢
English
@ChainlinkJohnny @GunnelsWarren Well no in 5 years he'll want to raise it to 10%.
Now what happens when the billionaires lose 40% of their wealth like musk did in one year, do they get a refund?
English
Bernie's 5% wealth tax would:
-Raise starting teacher pay to $60,000
-Give $12,000 to a working family of 4
-Expand Medicare for dental, vision, hearing
-Guarantee universal childcare
-End homelessness
Bezos would see his wealth drop from $279 billion to $265 billion. Poor guy.
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS
Jeff Bezos on CNBC: "If people want me to pay more billions, then let's have that debate, but don't pretend that that's gonna solve the problem. You could double the taxes I pay, and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens.... Airbnb isn't causing high rents. What's really causing high rent is government intervention."

@rubyinthew41190 @LuanTonTha16985 @naolovesindo I said that because there is a certain kind of leftist, from what I’ve seen, that excuse whatever China does as pragmatism, but don’t have that same standard with Vietnam even though they are ideologically quite similar. I don’t disagree with your assessment overall though.
English
Vietnam was fiercely anti colonialist and anti imperialist but now they've lost their edge. The government and industry love America and isr*el

@LuanTonTha16985 @naolovesindo I don’t understand why China gets a pass with this but not Vietnam. Let me preface that I am not anti-China. But honestly I think *some* western leftists have bought into Chinese exceptionalism a little bit

Progressives want to tax the rich.
Here's a better idea: let ordinary Americans invest like them.
That's exactly what Trump's 401(k) alternative assets rule does.

@LeftyWinter He gets shit on from both his left and right flank. Either he’s tricking socialists into becoming liberals or he’s a tankie/campist who hates anything America. You just can’t win atp lmao

@AKJay1225 @theJoeMichaell @alexxmalloy They also did not lose *because* they were women. They were just not well-received by Dem voters, a problem AOC does not have

@theJoeMichaell @alexxmalloy Kamala didn’t lose by much and Hillary won the popular vote by 3 million. If people show up, they can win.
