    Elections Mit Romney announces he isn't seeking re-election

    And boy, he had some things to say on the way out. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2023/11/mitt-romney-retiring-senate-trump-mcconnell/675306/ I was never a fan of his but he is principled, honest and had the backbone to vote to impeach Trump (article illustrates that he grappled...

    Elections Biden impeachment hearings mega thread (art dealer questioned)

    Leeching? And to the last point, it’s more about being intellectual regarding serious issues. If you don’t take it seriously can you really think through this stuff effectively? I don’t believe you can. I also don’t share the same defeatist attitude (voters decide elections!).

    Elections Biden impeachment hearings mega thread (art dealer questioned)

    It seems to me the crazies (vs the regular rotten rest of party) are forcing McCarhy’s hand. He’s pathetically weak and can be bullied by anyone really (Gaetz is in the news for threatening his speakership). The crazy moron wing seems to think an impeachment is useful for political reasons...

    Elections Biden impeachment hearings mega thread (art dealer questioned)

    Well, there’s no evidence he’s a crook and I think it’s far more likely it’s a huge nothing burger. The inquiry is ridiculous. I personally think politics is deadly serious and just poke fun at people who view it as entertainment.

    Elections Biden impeachment hearings mega thread (art dealer questioned)

    Christ. A 2nd Trump term could literally mean the end of American Democracy and have profound global impact (rise of authoritarianism), but Source will have something to watch. Hey man, at least it will give you a break from pornhub!

    Elections Biden impeachment hearings mega thread (art dealer questioned)

    It will be glorious to see the inquiry turn up nothing and completely backfire. We’ll find out that Biden is a kind, loving dad with a fuckup son and will draw a huge contrast with Trump who is objectively a corrupt POS and terrible father. I think it’s very telling that there was no vote -...

    All good bro! Just needed a break from politics. Hope you’re doing well.

    Opinion Student Loan Debate: SCOTUS strikes down Biden sweeping debt forgiveness order

    Not a solid summary at all really, given the fact the average middle class person spends more than half their income on housing, education, food, healthcare and clothing. And given Americans work long hours/multiple jobs eating out isn’t that unreasonable. Lol at the iPhone (it’s 2023, cmon)...

    Economy The Biden Boom: Biden adds 850k jobs in June, 3M jobs since start

    The child tax credit is awesome as a policy, but it also functions to reduce income inequality (credit phase out and is capped at certain income levels). If they can pass infrastructure that will be another win for the middle class and folks who care about inequality. He’s not a king or god...

    Elections Mike Pence forcefully repudiates Trump's request to reject electoral votes.

    Sticking up for democracy, how heroic. I kid. The thought of standing up to Trump makes Pence shit his pants.

    Economy Study shows rich families hoard wealth, DONT create new wealth! Trickle down yet again proven wrong!

    The trickle down stuff is the justification Republicans make for cutting taxes. And of course is disproven over and over again. With the Trump tax cuts, they lied and said it would pay for itself via growth. Cutting taxes on large corporations and wealthy individuals is unpopular but...

    Opinion (Poll) What parts of the US Republican Party do you dislike the most?

    Feels like “anti-democracy” should be on there and it’s by far the worst part of the GOP now. All of those things listed are bad, but they believe they should be able to continue doing them without consequences (like losing elections). If you’re talking about voters it’s easily the hyper...

    Elections GOP Senator Says Democracy, Majority Rule Aren’t What Our Country Stands For

    This stuff coming out really feels like a precursor to Republicans flat out stealing elections en route to full blown authoritarianism. And a third of the country and major media outlets will go right along with it. I’m getting more nervous about this shit with each news drop showing...

    Elections Lara Trump says no to 2022 Senate run. Why are all Trumps afraid to run for office?

    Idk man, they’re all silver spoon country club kids. Sure, Jr likes to shoot animals and that’s “country”. I have no doubt he shares some stuff in common. But if a lower income supporter from Arkansas was on fire junior wouldn’t piss on him. The irony is the Trumps despise their supporters...

    Elections Lara Trump says no to 2022 Senate run. Why are all Trumps afraid to run for office?

    I agree with the comments above that they’re better suited as actors behind the scenes. The juice isn’t worth the squeeze tbh. There’s a reason Trump stayed in private and only ran for president. The hassle, attacks, work, etc. for what, to be one vote in the Senate? The Trumps are already...

    Economy MILLENNIALS AIN'T GOT NO MONEY

    Man I’m pessimistic about the future, politically. I’m hopeful something big gets passed, even if it’s not the full thing (half would still be a big deal!). I’m more pessimistic about the mid terms. If they lose one senate seat or 14 (I think?) in the house it’s over.

    Economy MILLENNIALS AIN'T GOT NO MONEY

    Biden is working on a 4T bill that covers infrastructure, climate, etc.. By any standard that is massive and unprecedented. I get that it doesn’t touch your priorities and you free to disagree, but to say “nothing has changed” is so wrong it makes you look ridiculous. Just argue his policy...

    Economy MILLENNIALS AIN'T GOT NO MONEY

    Yes, I care about the country so there is certainly emotion. Yet, it was factual and that means your criticism is useless. As if showing emotion is disqualifying! Define “fundamental”. It looks like the filibuster will remain and there was never any chance of adding states, but I do think...
