    well anything Trump does will automatically get a baked in 30 something percent approval thanks to the MAGAts…an 11 point drop on the economy in 1 month is significant, so at least some parts of the country are waking up

    Dems would easily sweep the midterms and have a blowout in 2028 if they had any spine and any sense

    I mean if you can't laugh through this shite show it's going to be a long 4 years.
    As much as we gripe about everything.
    Sadly we are powerless, and if we don't escape all that is going on I'm gonna need a lot more weed.
    It's legal here in NY

    The new narrative, you are going to feel pain before it all gets better.

    Trump ran on the idea that people were already in pain and he was going to make it better. He's so lucky to have his base that absolutely adores him no matter what he does, otherwise he would be already in the 10 percent approval range for the current **** show he is instigating.

    Its funny cuz if you look on forex twitter or /wallstreetbets on reddit everyone misses Biden years. Folks don't realize how good we had it. We had a booming stock market and a great jobs market and we threw it all away for facism.

    Historians will back at the 2024 election and never understand why America made the decision they made.

    Spine? They are letting the Republican party make a mess of the economy intentionally.

    They are intentionally tanking the markets because the markets were really high. So they put in short positions then tank the markets, and then go long positions.

    You will see, once the market bottoms out, all of a sudden the trade war nonsense goes away. It was just that there was more money to be made shorting then crashing the market, than the other way around.

    I didn't think they'd crash it entirely so I told off my gains from the last few years, but man do I wish I sold more. Anyway, at least I'd do well when I reinvest but I am waiting for the NASDAQ to hit 15k before I start wading back in.

    Yes, spine. The Democrats are doing podcasts with Charlie Kirk, holding up signs, and censuring Al Green. The Democrats are letting Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer go out there to give their pathetic, tepid responses. Everything is on a silver platter for the Dems to have massive gains yet here they are as usual being weak and largely silent hoping a country stupid enough to elect Trump a 2nd time will be smart enough to see the light.

    as usual, the Democrats aren’t doing anything to get people excited to vote, just hoping that enough people will go for them because they’re better than the alternative…a strategy with no lasting results

    all these clips of them talking about doing away with entitlements like SS, Medicare, and Medicaid…all these clips of republicans talking about how there could be a recession and there might be some pain

    these are EASY ads that Dems should be plastering on every TV channel and every single form of social media…ads about how Trump’s tariffs are increasing costs on every day goods and devastating businesses and farmers with actual people affected by them and the mass firings being featured…ads on the measles outbreak and the insane things RFK just said about the measles vaccine with pictures and videos in black and white of kids and adults back in the old days affected with measles

    this stuff should be everywhere, but it’s nowhere to be found

    but I’ll see tons of right wing/PragerU/Tim Poole/Charlie Kirk ads everywhere…never see anything Dem related

    I seriously hate how weak and pathetic this party is…they don’t even try

    MLK was spitting facts

    Democrats won’t even do the bare minimum

    the ads don’t even have to be all that special or well done…literally just run an ad like “over 68 million Americans depend on SS, this is a public service announcement from Elon Musk” and then run the clip of him saying SS is a ponzi scheme and the clip of him saying to cut 1 trillion from entitlement spending and then run it everywhere…include pictures of him with Trump and in the oval office to further tie him to the orange buffoon…then do other public service announcement type ads with clips of republicans talking about the pending recession and pain, them talking about how vets will be fired and don’t deserve jobs, etc…boom, done

    run ads about all the plane crashes and how many air traffic controllers they just fired…Ask how this makes America safe. Easy

    guy with a deep voice like they use in movie trailers says “TX is experiencing the largest measles outbreak in decades…children have died and many have had to be hospitalized” then run the clip of what RFK just said about the measles vaccine with clips of what it actually looks like when u have measles plus the possible long term complications

    run ads about the tariffs and increasing prices…there’s a Fox News clip of 1 of their reporters in a car lot saying that a vehicle was going from $80k to $100k because of his tariffs, put it in the ad along with other examples of increased prices

    Dems don’t even have to put any of their opinion in these ads, literally just run what these republicans are saying out their own mouths…Elon thinking SS is a ponzi scheme isn’t a Dem opinion, it’s literally what he said

    but we won’t get anything…instead we get Chuck Schumer holding up a beer and avocado talking about how Trump’s tariffs would make Super Bowl parties more expensive :rolleyes: …instead we get fcking signs…if the Dems do say something, it’s a useless tweet or they’re on MSNBC or CNN that have both been bleeding viewers

    The entire democratic party needs a complete overhaul. Its filled with a bunch of corporate cowards who are afraid of getting in the trenches. Primary every single of them who votes for the CR.

    Trump has taken a **** on the democratic party and they still play by the rules. Cowards every single one of them. **** them

    Dems are afraid of being blamed for a government shutdown

    if u can’t even manage to successfully shift the blame for a government shutdown to the party that has control of all 3 levels of government, then you’re an utter embarrassment and a joke

    Dems could use the opportunity to explain why they’re voting against cloture of this abomination of a bill making the rounds explaining exactly what’s in it and how devastating it would be for the American people, and they could also highlight how republicans are incapable of governing…but we all know that won’t happen
