More than half of Americans say the cost of living is worse under Trump than at any other point in their lives

More than half of Americans say the cost of living is worse under Trump than at any other point in their lives so far…

Nothing he does as Governor would equal spending 1.4 billion on charity…

And he’d still have a billion dollars.

Need I remind you that platforms are non binding?

How about how Super Pacs have been destroying our nation?

Steyer is literally one of the largest individual donors…

He is everything wrong with our political system and giving him the keys because he promises to be a good boy is ridiculous when he is constantly not a good boy and keeps hoarding all the fucking wealth.

If he was serious about not hoarding wealth, why is he still actively doing it?!

The entire point of Cali’s primary system is to prevent progressives from getting thru by scaring everyone to settle for “electable” to block Republicans…

That being said, I honestly don’t know who is the best bet over there, just that Steyer (and any other billionaire) will absolutely never ever under any conditions be on the side of anyone except the oligarchs.

Because if they were, they wouldn’t be billionaires it’s the easiest fucking thing in the world to not be a billionaire. But every day they decide to allow thousand of easily preventable deaths for so little money it honestly wouldn’t show up as a rounding error for them.

Anyone who isn’t a complete and total piece of shit would have hemorrhaged money immediately, the fact that anyone has had control over a billion dollars for more than 24 hours mean they are a completely irredeemable person.

Anything they do, is solely a PR move and viewed as a cost of bonus if not an outright grift.

Dudes net worth is 2.4 billion…

The San Francisco resident has spent over $320 million in federal elections since 2010?plus another $340 million on his own presidential campaign in 2020.

He just realized it’s better to cut out the middle man these days and run yourself than buy a politician.

If he was even a halfway decent human being he’d have given away about 2 billion dollars by now and still had more money than he could spend in his lifetime.

The only reason someone this selfish would run for government is to personally enrich themselves and amass power. If he wanted to really help people he’d just spend all his time giving his money away.

It also implies that the DNC has little interest in understanding why they lost

Th voting members knew why they lost immediately, that’s why they elected Marin instead of another neoliberal…

What part of the leadership do you believe has changed?

The chair is a dictator and can do whatever they want with zero accountability…

So when the chair changes, it’s like a new president, they can set their “admin” however they want.

2 years ago they elected Ken Martin, who spent a decade running Minnesota and turned it from purple to one of the most progressive politicians of any state.

It’s honestly not hard to look into him, but unless you understand the basics of the DNC (what I’ve said here is enough) it doesn’t seem like a huge change.

But people have fought 30 years (arguably 50) trying to get us to where we are now.

It’s not done, but billionaires want us to give up and check out already

Are people still pretending they don’t understand it was written by a single freelancer?

That the people now running the DNC, didn’t run it during 2024?

Because I legitimately don’t understand how anyone who only knew those two facts, would still be blaming the people running the DNC since 2025 for what this report says was done wrong in 2024…

So it seems like the safe assumption, is people don’t understand at least one of those two things. Most likely both.

Especially when they repeat “Democrats won’t learn their lesson” literally half a term deep into the DNCs pivot away from neoliberalism. To think they haven’t learned the lesson yet, just means that person hasn’t paid attention since Biden lost the election.

I know people who are popping tons of peptide shit, and it’s ‘fine’ because “it’s all amino acids”.

“Peptide” is just such a general term, like insulin is a fucking peptide, lots of things are peptides

A lot of what people are taking, are legit roids, even if they are also peptides.

The problem is, people take these unregulated supplements and then “feel amazing”. Their energy and focus levels increase. But they don’t think about the side effects.

Yep, crack makes you feel amazing too, feeling amazing is honestly usually a bad thing.

no snake oil supplements

Bro…

The dangerous part about this shit is it’s not snake oil. Snake oil was largely inert, they might be cocaine or morphine in it, but it was in everything back then.

People are taking serious drugs that do serious things, with no medical professionals involved, their just ordering this shit off the Internet on their own

I really think we’re gonna see a lot of cancer from this group (especially for the women) and it’s gonna be because of some weird anti-aging treatment.

Like with all the peptides, semiglutides, and other shit that isn’t being regulated at all…

There’s a pretty good chance there’s some treatment that’s supposed to encourage cell divisions to fight the effects of aging, and it’s gonna cause cancer.

Pre-emptive edit:

I checked first,

Polyamines.

I’d bet money they’re all on polyamines.

Biden and the neoliberals had four years, and they did what anyone with a brain predicted.

Which included Biden naming a DNC chair in 2021 that would rig the 2024 primary, which also happened.

But because Republicans won the 2024 election, DNC voting members got to pick their own chair in 2025.

Blaming the current chair for what happened 2021 thru 2024 with the party makes as much sense as blaming Obama in 09 for what GW did 04-08…

I’m not trying to be a dick, it’s just very hard to explain such a basic concept in a way that doesn’t come off condescendingly.

Democrats: Investigate Trump, do nothing else

If you told me you are a bagel last week, I’d be an absolute idiot to think that was all you’ve eaten in a week

Yet you seem to think if you hear about 100s of people doing 1 thing, it means that is all all of those people are doing…

Some people are really only capable of one single task at a time, the problem is those people don’t understand how unique they are, and they assume everyone else is the same.

Shit man, I’m preparing for dozens of things constantly, and I’m acutely aware of 10x the things I can’t do shit to prepare for. But I’m still cognizant they’re probable situations I may have to deal with.

The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.

To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.

To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

― Douglas Adams

The exception that proves the rule is people who begrudgingly accept the responsibility out of the greater good.

She’s never shown interest in running for President

Honestly the best trait of a future president…

We don’t want someone that wants to be president. We need someone who reluctantly steps up because they have the best shoot.

Like the Jeff Winger paintball speech.

She’s the country’s best shot, so regardless of if she wants to be president she needs to run in 2028.

Strategically it would just be stupid to say shes going to now. Which is why billionaire owned media is desperate for her to say she is. Once she says she’s running, she’s the defacto general candidate.

The ideal path is a congressional leadership position in January, and then moving to 2028 presidential. And that could very well already be her plan. She just can’t/shouldn’t say it yet.

but I honestly don’t think she could have attacked trump in any way that would have changed the outcome.

That’s why the voting members of the dnc finally pivoted away from the last 30 years of neiliberalism whose entire election strategy was “I’m not a Republican”.

The chair has went on record multiple times saying he wants a candidate like Mamdani who gives people some to vote for, but also that he’s not going to put a finger on the scale to make that happen.

It’s getting difficult to see these as mistakes when there’s so many parallels to the 2016 election. Snubbing Bernie for Clinton… running on Trump Bad Mkay…

It was exactly the same because it was the same people running it…

Obama ignored the DNC, so it survived by taking neoliberal money, and they rigged the 2016 primary. After that people found out all the shit about the funding from Hillary during the primary and the FNC was broke.

So 2017 they legitimately didn’t have a choice but neoliberal.

2020 Biden won, he named the DNC chair for 2021, and they rigged it for Biden and then Harris.

And that went over so poorly that the ~400 people that vote on chair when a Dem doesn’t win…

Picked Ken Martin.

That’s why the billionaires want to focus on 2024, and act like the current DNC needs to be held accountable. They want to depress progressive turnout in the next Dem presidential primary.

And people everywhere are falling for it

Lol…

I called it but so did anyone with a brain:

It was pointless to want this released, it was never going to be released to the public, and even if they did release it, the same people would make up a new complaint.

Asking the current DNC to explain why the “autopsy report sucks” is like asking Abraham Lincoln why he didn’t free the slaves during George Washington’s presidency…

Anyone asking that question is either an idiot or trying to mislead people.

When this report was made, the current DNC head was the Minnesota party chair. When he became the DNC chair, he got to change the entire DNC. The chair is essentially a presidency with a four year term.

Acting like this one has anything to do with the last one after a big pivot from neoliberalism is completely illogical.

The billionaires spread it via the media, but loads of people actually believe it and repeat it thinking it’s true

trump doesn’t understand how real construction works, because all his projects have been grifts.

He promises cheap, fast, and well constructed…

But none of that ever materializes because his goal is money not actual building.

This is probably the only thing he actually wanted quality and on budget, and zero people willing to work with him can do that. Every connection he has is a grifter. But because he cared, he assumed everyone else did, but they still saw it as another grift.

So he likely had no idea what an actual timeline was when he bulldozed the existing one.

Maybe they finally realized when trump retreats to that after refusing to leave office…

That it’s not gonna be big enough for all of them.

If he tries to seize the country as a dictator and locks himself in that bunker, all the Republicans who helped him up to that point are gonna be standing outside the door trying to get in.

If he can’t retreat to a bunker, they won’t have to fend for themselves.

Although I gotta admit, in the back of my head I was interested to see if we’d really just cut communication lines and pour concrete over the entrances and exits in that scenario.

If it happens, we should just entomb him under the White House in that bunker as a remainder to every future president that when push came to shove, the people won.

The oligarchs need a constant reminder of what happens when the majority of a country feels they have nothing to lose.

We gotta deal with the shit, might as well get the silver lining out of it.

I mean, all Netenyahu had to do was change his name from Mileikowsky…

I don’t think trump would toss out his name tho, he’s super attached to it.

Good thing he’s spending hundreds of millions of dollars to replace incumbent Republicans with candidates whose only personality trait is praising trump without question…

All this shit is going to backfire in the general, Republicans won’t vote D, they just won’t vote at all

For fucks sake…

When Republicans get “too extreme” the moderate ones need to stay over there and drag them back to the left some.

If they “become Dems” by slapping a D at the end of their name, they drag the Dem to the right.

Fuck this piece of shit and every other coward that’s doing this.

All it does is move the Overton window right, we don’t need another round of neoliberalism

They’re definitely using it like “bullying”.

As in it’s upfront and in people’s faces?

I’ve never heard it used that way but in context it makes sense. I just immediately pictured the Workaholics episode where they had “Christian Strongmen”.
