People keep saying they list due to reaching out to moderate republicans. No, they ARE the moderate republicans. They won’t do anything that will upset their wealthy donors.
I’m tired of being told how awesome the economy is. It’s great for the rich, but the cost of necessities like housing, food, and healthcare has outpaced the CPI, so we all feel worse. A cheaper big screen tv doesn’t help much if you can’t afford the basics.
Aggregate economic data only says so much. Lots of INDIVIDUAL people are suffering. While the CPI is one basket of products, everyone has their own, and this everyone has their own rate of inflation. So saying wages have kept up with inflation is a fallacy on 2 fronts. Some saw income outpace the CPI, others it did not and they’ve lost income. But even among the former group, everyone had a personal rate of inflation that may well be higher than the CPI.
Instead, the wealthy and politicians look at averages and medians and assume it’s just negative feelings. But we were alive in the 90s. We were alive in the early 2000s. We know about the 50s and 60s. We know the economy used to be better for working people. We want better.
Trump, of course, will not deliver that. But Harris didn’t inspire confidence she would, either.
Do Muslim’s really think voting for Muslim ban guy who would give Israel even more weapons a better choice?
One is my name. The other is not.
Depends on location, but I don’t think I’m too bad.
- To the nearest convenience store (more than that, really; a drug store and mini grocery store): 400m
- To the nearest chain supermarket: 2km
- To the bus stop: 100m (but the bus doesn’t go many places
- To the nearest park: 600m (a small park, a much larger one 2km away)
- To the nearest *big* supermarket: 6km
- To the nearest library: 2.5km
- To the nearest train station: 2km for local rail, like 25km for rare intercity trains
It's the same builders that build the cheap homes
What cheap homes? No one is building those these days, other than maybe Habitat for Humanity and companies making mobile/prefab homes.
Saying they don’t like the location of a bus stop is not saying you can’t have busses.
No medieval city claims that. Hell, they are more walkable and transit oriented than more modern cities that were designed for cars. Stop with the straw men.
Ron was happy to cash a fat Netflix check for his bullshit memoir, now shocked he ignored all the signs Vance was an asshole.
The don’t have a plan to fix ANY crisis. Or problem.
Republicans have only a few plans:
- Tax cuts for the rich

- Ban abortion
- Repeal LQBTQ+ rights
- Send more people to prison
- Fire every liberal in government
