11.2 million. That’s the number of American citizens who rank climate change as their top issue but didn’t vote in the 2024 election, according to research by the Environmental Voter Project. For context, Donald Trump won the presidency in 2024 by less than 2.3 million votes.

No not at all. You called me MAGA. It was just funny, because I’m so obviously not.
And I’ve never said they’re the same. They aren’t at all.
But for my entire life, on the most important economic issues? They do both mostly agree. They agree the wealthy should exploit everyone else. The Reps think some should be more exploited than others, while the Dems think everyone should be exploited equaly.
The DSA seems to making some traction now though. I have hope for them to finally push for some economic progress. Not much expectation, but hope.
What exactly are their economic disagreements?
Did Clinton lower the corporate tax rate, and roll back regulation enforcement? Did Obama immediately give up the public medical insurance option from the Affordable Care Act when there was the slightest push back? Did Biden give up on raising the minimum wage, for the flimsiest of excuses? Did all of them try to “appeal to the center” as the Republicans moved further and further to the right?

• Did democrats cause an insurrection?
• Did democrats hide the pedo in the Epstein Files
• Did democrats shit on the constitution daily since 2016
• Did democrats remove coverage for people on state insurance?
• Did democrats create a roadmap towards fascism (P2025)
• Did democrats violate campaign finance law by using taxpayer funds to promote themselves?
• Did democrats create a jackbooted ghestapo that murdered people in broad daylight?
• Did democrats position armed military at voting locations?
• Did democrats hire Elon Musk to fleece our government of millions?
• Did democrats sell out to Putin?
• Did democrats start a war in Iran?
A hint- the answer to these twelve questions Steve, is NO.
Only one of those was about economics, the point of general agreement between the parties. And on that point they both screwed the public. You’re only helping my argument.
The guy who exclusively uses the name Rump?
You’re funny
When have I used that word?
Not you, me. I use that word.
Because he’s such an ass, and it’s right there in his damn name
Ahh. I get it. So, you’ve said Rump, and this makes you a good guy for whining about both sides being the same?
