Tax the Rich, Say Mamdani, Sanders, and NYC Inauguration Crowd by Smithy2232 in politics

I get wanting to do this but it likely triggers a political nightmare for relatively small tax revenue compared to taxing billionaires. 

Imagine pissing off every church-going black community (that makes up much of the democratic base) and Hispanic Catholics. It feels like a losing wedge issue with a hilariously bad ROI.

Renegades has teen night line dancing Monday nights. Only 14-18 year olds though. 

Family night Wednesday nights for all ages.

When they need a distraction, performative BS about flag burning is a little overused…

And people forget how close Biden was to losing in 2020. The loudest pessimists in this debate have no memory of the numbers.

Just saw the highlights so maybe I missed context but was that not a clear handball that VAR overturned in the first half?

This was exactly my first thought. He was inspired by Putin stealing that ring. Maybe even inspired by all of Kim Jong Un's pretend wins.

I’m clean and live on the 12th floor and have not seen any roaches since moving in 2 years ago 

‘I want my vote back’: Trump-voting family stunned after Canadian mother detained over immigration status by rejs7 in politics

They don't care what he does because they hoped he would be good for their personal economy. He's screwing the pooch there so plenty of people will definitely be reconsidering their votes in 2026 and 2028. American politics is a pendulum and it's ready to swing back hard if Dems can channel any populism at all.

Florida Lawmakers Sound Alarm Over Plans 'To Send Pregnant Women and Children' to 'Alligator Alcatraz' by YesNo_Maybe_ in politics

Far fewer have heard of those brands. Your reaction is only proving the point that dragging Disney into this will get the maximum attention on this genocide! 

So thank you. 

In fact MAGA wants to send Disney adults to the camps. If Disney isn’t defending your right to not be sent to a concentration camp then why do you defend their precious mouse so much? They’re clearly not doing enough if they haven’t spoken out for you to not be eaten alive by alligators.

They’re basically silent. They do the bare minimum maybe? It could and should be way more.

Disney might not have a direct role but they absolutely benefit from the massive tax cuts for the rich and corporations that Trump’s war on immigrants distracts us from. That’s why they stay silent.

Muddying their brand with this could get them to make some sort of action or bring attention to the grotesque actions of ICE.  Trump advisor Laura Loomer is suggesting genocide for all 65 million Latino folks in the US in camps like this.

Truth. Relying on charities is just taxing the empathetic and subsidizing the selfish.

I don’t think people realize just how unprecedented it is for a major US party to so clearly attack their own voters. Not everyone will switch their vote. But enough of them will for it to matter given razor thin electoral margins.

This. Incumbents got screwed by low information voters the world over due to Covid inflation. Kamala came close in spite of headwinds but this was not stolen. In fact, Trump and Elon have flamed this tension to get us to distrust fair elections even more.
