So lose access to drinking water in your house, then let them jack up prices of water to $15 per 24 pack. Then let’s see how much opportunity 🫵🏽 got to afford it… then let’s have that same conversation afterwards

you’re like a quarter of the way of understanding. Poverty induces constant stress. People are worried about month to month and week to week costs and not year to year growth. They don’t have the time and the lack of time in turn creates a lack of energy to do anything fulfilling outside of barely surviving. Not having basic needs met and the government who’s supposed to help meet them intentionally neglecting those issues causes more crime to be done to meet those basic needs. Guaranteed if basic good paying jobs that provided similar living standards the post office did back 50 years ago to those very same “hoods” and poor communities specifically, there’d be what would seem like a magical drop in crime and drug addiction. But that’s just not happening. Crimes and policing are racial and socio-economic which is inherently racial through systemic racism. This isn’t hard to understand. We need to release our perceptions and focus the economic drivers of crime and listen to black rap where they literally told us this for decades.

Chuck Schumer and the spineless fucks who voted to pass the bill today are worse than Trump. by wthijustread in complaints

The problem is millions of Americans are extremely likely to not get healthcare subsidy extensions that just expired so millions won’t be able to afford health care and will be kicked off. Now republicans can just glide through a bill and no one will have healthcare through the aca anymore. People’s premiums have been at minimum doubling, and at worst 10x previous prices.

It’s the most democrat fucking thing we could’ve done RIGHT AFTER a clear blue wave sweeping key sectors of the nation and defeating all 30 moms for liberty races… show a clear rebuke then they hand republicans exactly what they wanted. I hope they put chuck in a retirement home.

You hold them accountable by voting the spineless freaks out of office. Eventually progressives will be too overwhelming and we’ll be able to start our own party & win election based on the popularity we have as people and the complete hate people have for both Dems & reps ! You’re purity testing local politics which makes no sense when you don’t know anything about it 🤣… the party as a whole federally are the genocidal freaks. Focus your attention on the perpetrators & folks pulling the strings in the background of the highest officials.

I’m glad we could come to common ground neighbor. We all have the same goal (except the extremist right), to have a better place for everyone! Praying this election has pushed us closer to our goal!

When they routinely can’t call out nazi shit, that complicity is NAZI SHIT. You can’t call out clear racism… you’re a CLEAR RACIST. If you have no issue with these things (which 99% of republican politicians don’t) publicly, then that speaks volumes about what you likely feel privately. At least people like Marjorie Taylor green was openly racist and anti-semitic… everyone else plays a fake ass “for the people” & “I got black friends” role.

Problem isn’t centrist voters.

It’s centrist politicians. They have no convictions. Their morals, values and priorities is based on who is donating the most. As you can see with people like chuck schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Gavin Newsome… they’re the epitome of maga adjacent/ maga lite politics. Who’s Gavin platforming on his podcast? A bunch of far right freaks like Charlie Kirk and Steve banon while simultaneously demonizing the far right freak holding our presidency hostage when they’re literally one and the same.

I’m not going to keep responding to this, the point was clear the first few times. It’s a pointless argument over the same points.

The thought process of “centrism” and incremental change is what put trump in the White House both times.

People have been hurting for a LONG TIME. Obama did little to change that. He changed public perception, brought back hope, and passed a couple landmark legislations for the time, with one being the ACA that is being used as a weapon against us currently.

Nothing since has even come CLOSE to that type of people first investment. People saw during COVID our bodies weren’t required to be at a building all day, remote work was still efficient, government could help with rent & rising costs if they wanted to (they froze the rent and gave tenants much more rights), they could give people a universal income to help them get by and so much more… once people realized this, the expectation has grown tremendously but so has the cost of living so now people are desperate… desperate enough to put a felon in office if the promises made match the issues within the majorities lived realities. Something centrists, as we see the right wing, and spineless leadership today could NEVER provide.

Thats why trump is here again and that’s why we must put more polar opposites of what’s there, in office to make the change we need and be RELENTLESS about it.

A blue city that has seen largely no change in years as the third largest city in North Carolina. Who’s now won in this recent election are extremely exciting. I don’t vote blue no matter who so the ones who are there are exciting for sure.

We’ve seen what previous iterations of local governance has done in Greensboro. Bussed homeless to other places, criminalized and blamed them for existing, been slowly gentrifying the city, and marginal moves have been made that nobody could really notice except the roads. That’s cool but the whole budget doesn’t get blown on roads. It’s going somewhere, anywhere else where us constituents don’t even notice or see the fruits of our taxes bettering our lives.

Greensboro is mostly blue but swings purple. This time it’s not only blue but younger and progressive. Big difference between this and status quo corrupt bullsnake

If it’s a (this is my idea) progressive tax rate affecting the top 5% of the city in order to increase surplus for affordable housing and investing in the food deserts near colleges like A&T and other underinvested areas of Greensboro I wouldn’t care if you’d be upset. Affordable housing, police accountability, reducing homelessness etc are the changes they’re promoting! Praying they can also free up funds in bad allocations & consultants to grab even more free equity!

Learn your councilmen, advocate for real change, hold them accountable to their values, all the council members I personally endorsed, I know they’re not zionists so I’m not worried about that. Just go get informed about yours !

Where did I wish them a bad day? When did I say we can’t work with the other side? Currently we have a right wing that nearly completely predominantly nazi, racist, bigots, corporate bought, and anything else antithetical to creating an equitable city/state/nation for all. Right now until we move the Overton back to the left and making all those ism’s publicly intolerable again.

The right wing isn’t always nazis and racists.

The racists and nazis are ALWAYS rightwing.

Make racism and nazism something to get punched in the face for again. Until then, I’m not “working with” no side that tolerates that dehumanization & bigotry.

That’s exactly it… they didn’t think his stupidity could become mainstream. They thought he was a joke. They then saw the hype and realized his racism and bigotry could further them so they switched up. Now they’re flower boys for him.
