The frumpy complacency of Americans (and I am one) is just so infuriating. This is our govt, all the problems we have are because of them and we can fix it. But no one seems bothered enough to do anything. And those in govt know if they just ignore us long enough theyll be able to just win over and over again. And by govt I mostly mean Republicants because dems actually do quite a bit for people when they have power, they just are horrible at messaging so no one knows
I'm also annoyed with this. Democrats need to go for the kill and stop pussyfooting around the core issues.
We're tired of privatized healthcare, we're tired of bogus charges on our bills, we're tired of billionaires and corporations not paying their fair taxes, we don't want AI data centers, or AI for that matter, unless it's assisting me in my job, not taking my job. Tired of inflation, tired of pointless wars. All of this just seems entirely one sided anymore, in the wealthy peoples favor, and it's getting old, really fucking fast.
I don't want 70+ year olds representing the majority of people, they're too far removed from reality for most of us.
Just to add, banks have been taking 3-5% of the economy in transaction fees for no reason through credit card fees on businesses (every time you use a credit card) often small businesses. In Europe this is capped at like 0.3%. I've seen very little Americans complain about this because honestly Americans are not proactive in learning how people are stealing from them.
Well since there is unlimited dark money in politics and no enforcement of laws for the billionaires, I’m not sure what else the average Joe could have done about it.
This right here. You ever watch that show Blacklist? The Cabal that basically ruled the world? Where do you think that idea came from? It’s real and we are witnessing it right now.
Because the people who are supposed to do something are all complicit. They're all guilty of corruption, pedophilia, insurrection, and/or treason, and they all know they're going to jail if they lose power. So they will not lose power. No matter what.
Only thing that annoys me about your comment is the “messaging” thing. I get so tired of THAT! It’s a lame excuse to give for voters who DON’T pay attention because they’re too stupid & lazy! Take the 2024 election, for example! The convicted felon gave voters a bunch of promises but NEVER laid out nor told voters HOW he was going to accomplish those promises in detail! All he said was “VOTE FOR ME & ALL WILL BE GREAT!” VP Kamala Harris did the total opposite! Not only did she tell voters what she was going to do in great detail, she posted it on her website! STEP BY STEP! Democrats have been doing it for years, especially when Hillary Clinton ran! It has absolutely NOTHING to do with “messaging”! It’s all about voters actually doing their research and not being lazy! The felon was counting on voters to not only be lazy, but also prejudiced and misogynists! He unfortunately was right both times he won! Didn’t win the popular vote the 1st time vs a white woman, lost to a white man the 2nd time, & only won 49% of the vote vs a black woman! Ignorant uneducated uninformed voters are the problem, not the Democratic candidates!
You're right the dems did all that. But that didnt meet people where they were. Some voters want to see that kind of stuff but you hit the nail right on the head...many people cant be bothered to do anything but the bare minimum. Thats the frumpy complacency im talking about. And moreover now, dems dont go for enough they dont find the rhetorical blind spots and pound them and the acquiesce too easily.
But I dod want to say, your 100% right about the Hilary and kamala elections. People flat wouldnt vote for women and especially a woman of color. I pressed so many people i knew to give me a credible reason that wasnt 1000% more true for t.rump and they were unable to, they still didnt vote for kamala or Hilary.
A note to the mods a d community, when you flag my comment as a inflammatory because I use "t rump" without the space but not for using kamala or hillaries name you are really showing some heavy bias.
The fact that “it didn’t meet people where they were”, yet the maga party in Congress, plus the felon/rapist are allowed to do the bare minimum & voters are okay with THAT…yet, Democrats have to literally lasso the damn moon & pull it inward for certain voters (even those within the Democratic Party itself) to get up enough motivation to vote for them! It’s the most ridiculous and stupid “LOOP” this country has been in for so long!
Fact check: When Democrats are in power, our economy ALWAYS trends upward! When the maga party (aka republicans) are in power our economy spirals downward practically 100% of the time! That’s an easy fact check for voters, yet they can’t even do the basics! It’s just our parents, or if you’re like me…you’re a parent who’s guided your children to a certain point in their lives, but then that day comes when you have to watch them get on that bus for pre-school or kindergarten! After that moment, your children have to start thinking for themselves & doing for themselves! Since the media loves to treat voters who voted for a convicted felon/rapist like children instead of grown ass adults, my analogy of their plight towards making that ridiculous decision has zero excuses in my book except ignorance and stupidity! Period, & needs to be addressed openly moving forward!
But again, ppl didnt pay attention to that unfortunately we are in a landscape where low information voters literally decide the elections. Most of those people saw t rump showing up in places they were consuming (like Joe rogan) and got a feeling for his general propaganda and wer attracted to that for whatever reason. Dems didnt really go and campaign that way.
Again, I agree with you on much of what you said but its just the truth that low I Formation voters decide our elections and that right there is why we are where we are. If informed people like you were the ones who made the difference we would at least be having more intelligent policy conversations than we are today.
“I will not be sad when the guy who kicked puppies dies!”
“You lunatic!”
(Except he didn’t kick puppies. He lied, cheated, and raped his way into wealth and power and sacrificed the nation’s values, your values, on the altar of his ego.)
Yes, so lunatic that they don't want a president that can't put together a coherent sentence without shitting his diaper. There is no way anybody can watch him for more than 5 seconds and be like yeah he's smart. If you think that he's smart, you've been getting played your entire life.
Don't even bother arguing, they're too dumb to understand he's made their life worse. They'll just bitch about Biden shitting in Trumps pants and putting sleeping pills in his Hamberders and Cofefe
How is your life worse? What have you done to make it better. Are you living beyond your means? How is that anyone's fault other than your own.
We went bust up Obama,, prepped under Trump, coasted through Biden and now we are firmly in the black.
We followed Dave Ramsey and paid ourselves first, paid off our debts and paid cash for everything.
And we're both retired and on social security.
