Prices are higher.
People are desperate to hold on to their jobs.
Mortgage rates are high.
People are going to lose their healthcare.
Trump is on TV grading the economy as an A+ & few reporters are calling this "out of touch" and screeching about the objectively terrible economy for most.

A Democratic Party not having an explicit platform of reforming the Judicial Branch after today is not a party I want to vote for.

JPMorgan banked a sex trafficker for years $200 million in accounts, millions in fees, introductions to Sergey Brin and Netanyahu. Employees flagged the cash withdrawals funding his crimes; executives saw only profit. One might call it complicity, but that suggests they didn't know. They knew.

without birthright citizenship in the united states, you don't have a democracy and you don't have rule of law.
revoking birthright citizenship gives fascists free rein to purge the country of literally anyone they don't like. it opens the door to atrocities and mass murder. i am not exaggerating.
