      Oh it sure the fuck is. And also every fucking imbecile who provides excuses, cover, and interference for Democrats who fail to deliver. Making excuses for the bad-faith management on the part of Democrats is as bad if not worse than just outright supporting fascism, because it precludes us our ability to actually do anything to stop this rightward shift.

      The Democrats are not your friends. They are not your buddies. They aren’t even on your team, in-spite of their ever present marketing to the contrary. They use the fact that you think they are on your team and fighting for you to sit on their hands. Then the worms crawl out and defend their inaction as if its some forgone conclusion and they are merely victims of the environment that they find themselves in. They did not pursue Trump in any meaningful way that would disturb the system or the sensitivities of the neoliberal managerial class because they never intended there to be real justice. If justice came at the cost of upsetting the status quo of how power is brokered in Washington, then justice gets a back seat.

      The rise of fascism, the failure of justice, the fact that Trump is coming back to power: Its 100% due to how Democrats have (failed) to govern, and failed to engage in a meaningfully democratic way.

        They aren’t even pretending to be in your team unlike Trump! The guy at least dressed up as a McDonald’s worker and a bin man for a bit!

        Naw, dems hope that the contrary is going to scare the people into voting for them; but sadly it just doesn’t!

          Dude nobody is voting for Dems in order to do any f*cking personal favors for them. We are voting to do a favor for ourselves and the country because Traitorapist Trump and the GOP is 100x worse. The last 3 Dem presidents all raised tax on the rich and/or corporations. Why would you NOT vote for that?

            Not to be misunderstood, I hope an angry mob is going pleasure Trump with a lamp pole?

            I really don’t think the dems did and I can’t find any info on the contrary… Could you give me some sauce? Biden did talk about taxing the rich and the news orgs retaliated by continuously airing his geriatric moments on repeat, while Trumps went pretty much under the radar

              I really don’t think the dems did

              Clinton raised tax rates on the wealthy.

              Obama raised tax rates on the wealthy.

              Biden raised the minimum tax rates on corporations from 0% to 15%.

              Harris was going to raise this rate even higher.

              This is all part of the public record. Try to pay more attention to what is going on. For your own sake. And for our sake, if you are going to make comments here.

              Trumps went pretty much under the radar

              Trump lowered taxes on the wealthy by $4 trillion in 2017 Tax cuts and jobs act… Next year, all income groups under 75k in the same 2017 legislation will pay more taxes because of Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act according to the congressional budget office joint committee on taxation. Treason Trump has already indicated he is going give the wealthy yet another gigantic GOP tax cut.

                  You know, when someone asks for sauce, they are asking for links; for proof

                  You are so f*cking lazy. You could have googled this stuff, instead of REPEATING your baseless claims. The worst thing you can do on the internet is express confident ignorance. And you just did it.

                  Obama didn’t raise taxes on the rich, he just closed loopholes for them

                  Nope. He raised tax rates on the rich.

                  https://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/31/upshot/thanks-obama-highest-earners-tax-rates-rose-sharply-in-2013.html

                  Harris promised to continue the legacy of Biden

                  Nope. She promised to raise taxes on corporations and the rich.

                  https://itep.org/a-distributional-analysis-of-kamala-harris-tax-plan/

                  Biden did vaguely talk about it for a short while nothing came of it

                  Nope. Biden raised the minimum tax rates on corporations.

                    If you make a claim then you also take the requirement of proof on you. Don’t make assertions if you have to throw a hissie fit when someone asks for proof. And its kinda funny that you talk about repeating facts, when your definition of proof is “yeah he did it”

                    I am not going to make an account woth the New York Times, but going to assume you are right. Thought I find it weird that Obama’s “highest-earner-tax-rate-that-sharply-rose-in-2013” is not in his presidential records. Which would have made 2/3 of your claim flasw that all 3 last dem president raised… since you aren’t claiming anymore that Biden did :)
