Wake-up Call: Democrats could easily lose the White House and Senate next year - Lemmy.World

Wake up call for who? Will the Democrats ever wake up and give their base something to vote for, instead of “hey, the other guys’s worse, whaddya gonna do?”.
“Ok, other than investing in infrastructure, energy independence, the affordable care act, college tuition assistance, NATO dealing with Ukraine, and ending the war on drugs WHAT HAVE DEMOCRATS EVER DONE FOR US?!”

college tuition assistance

The fuck are you listing this for? Who’s the one who not only refused to jubilee student debt but turned payments back on during an inflationary spike?

infrastructure

Every single Republican voted against build back better, and that’s how we ended up with the worst of two bills, which every single Republican voted against as well. Republicans don’t invest in infrastructure.

energy independence

Only one party is dumping money into renewable energy, electric vehicles, e-bikes, and better public transportation, and it sure as fuck ain’t republicans.

College tuition

Literally republicans are the reason college loans haven’t been forgiven. They threw a fucking fit covered in their own filth all the way to the supreme court, and wouldn’t you know, it was the conservative judges that voted against it. If you’re still making college loan payments, it’s republicans’ fault.

NATO

All the American men and women who won’t go off to die in Ukraine benefit from us not being involved in yet another endless war you stupid fuck. So does the entire world who now don’t have to deal with escalation between Russia and the USA.

War on Drugs

Yeah, that was a bit of a stretch. But only one US president has made any serious attempt to reschedule cannabis AND pardoned thousands of people who were convicted of drug charges.

Landlord taking all my money

But republicans are the party of the free market! If your landlord is taking all your money, that’s what the free market demands! The free market has spoken, and so shall it be! To do otherwise would require gasp federal regulations!

So it’s no surprise that only one party has introduced a renters bill of rights. Hm, I wonder which party that is…

FACT SHEET: Biden-Harris Administration Takes Action to Protect Renters | The White House

Over 44 million households, or roughly 35 percent of the U.S. population, live in rental housing. But our nation’s rental market is defined by a patchwork of state and local laws and legal processes that leave far too many renters with little recourse when housing providers fail to comply with the law or the lease…

The White House

Every single Republican

Was in the minority. You can’t use them as an excuse for what the democrats did.

Literally republicans

Biden chose to take a route with the debt that invited a challenge. He didn’t want to discharge it. He’s the senator from MBNA. The sanctity of debt is one of his foundational beliefs.

He is the president. The treasury works for him. He holds the debt. He can and didn’t simply write it off.

the entire world who now don’t have to deal with escalation between Russia and the USA

This is the sentence in which you called me a ‘fucking idiot’ and I have to say the idea that a proxy war doesn’t count as escalation is one of the smartest things I’ve heard from you.

But republicans are the party of the free market!

Democrats are the party of letting everyone lose their home and have them be bought up by banks, who were bailed out when prices were low, who are now charging me half my income in rent.
