Vote for someone who will, Fight to force the 1% to pay 75% of all taxes. Fight for a livable minimum wage in ALL states. Fight for free or affordable basic healthcare. Fight for drug prices on par with the EU. Fight to get money out of politics.

The only way to change the political system for the better is to only vote for those who won’t take money from billionaires and corporations. Ignore people like Trump and Pelosi who make money from billionaires and corporations and ignore conservative and liberal media who are owned by billionaires.
TACO is a great way to describe Trump but it's worth noting that Trump always ends up doing what his donors and investors tell him to do. If they told him to go with zero tariffs or they'll stop donating to him, he would switch to zero tariffs and make an excuse to justify backing down

That 30% are the ones who see dictators as "true" leaders. They worship people like Putin and Kim Jong Un. To them, a leader controlling the people in the country is a sign of strength. You will not convince that 30% otherwise. You have to convince 70% to vote against dictators.

On top of that video, Scientific American has pointed out that the US is already halfway to becoming a full-blown dictatorship. The sad thing is that 30% of all people in the US support the idea of a dictator. Those are the people who support Trump becoming one.

Anyone who wants to understand why Trump uses terms like "fake news" and why all dictators are "anti-abortion" should watch this video. This is not an anti-Trump video itself; it talks about dictators in general, including how they come to power

After the 90-day pause was announced, stocks soared. Tesla stock is back over $310 a share, even though Tesla sales keep falling.

Trump caved and lowered Chinese tariffs to 30%. So it went from 145% to 80% to 30%. Meanwhile, China lowered its tariffs to 10% on US goods. The obvious reason he did this is that he knows the tariffs on Chinese goods will raise prices for US consumers. The 90-day pause also says market manipulation

The weirdest part of the conversation is the fact that the person knows I use trusted sources, that I don't get all my info from social media or “trust me bro” sources. It just shows you some people regardless of political affiliation, only start to care when they're directly impacted.

I was talking to someone who didn't want to believe Trump is trying to take away power from the judicial branch and told me what I was saying is prolly not true. When I showed them that Stephen Miller himself said it, it was a quick switch from not true to fearmongering.

Some believe that only Trump supporters are an issue. The reality is, some liberals don't want to acknowledge the truth as well. It's not that they think Trump is great; they just don't want to believe Trump is as bad as he has been. They want to believe it’s just fearmongering

The answer is obvious, the age appearance matters more than the physical age. That's why I laugh when people make a huge deal about ages. Both men and women are going to choose a person who looks their age over someone who looks older. The age you look is the only age people care about

But this begs the question... Would you rather date someone your age that looks like your parents age or date someone older who looks your age? Wouldn't it seem creepier for a woman to date a guy who looks her dad’s age than date a guy 20 years older who looks her age?

I was arguing with a MAGA Millennial, and he told me to watch what I was saying because I'm too young to understand things. I told him that I'm 48 and that he is 35, how exactly does that make me too young if I'm 13 years older than him? His judgment was based on I looked younger than him.

Millennials are back at it again, going back to their denial of reality by pointing fingers at Gen Z. Claiming Gen Z is aging faster than previous generations, while ignoring the fact that they are aging even faster than Gen Z. Some Millennial men at 35 look as old as my dad did at 55.

Habeas corpus predates the founding of the US. It dates back to 1215, and it was intended to prevent the King of England from having dictatorial powers and ignoring the people's will. It has only been suspended four times in US history, and two of them happened in the Philippines.

There is now talk that if the courts keep ruling against Trump that his administration will suspend Habeas corpus. Trump will literally take power from the courts and congress and have total power to do whatever the hell he wants including killing people who talk badly about him like Putin in Russia

If the Pope truly has to follow the teachings of God and the Bible, then they can't be anti-immigration. And they can’t support the anti-Christ. Trump is about as anti-Christian as you can get. He doesn't love thy neighbor, he doesn't spread love, and he is anti-non white immigrants.

MAGA proves they don't follow the teachings of God or Jesus when they call the Pope “woke” for following the teachings of Jesus. Jesus was pro-immigration. Being anti-immigration is, in fact, anti-Jesus. So it's not the Pope being “woke,” it's more like MAGA aren't religious.

Imagine needing a wheelchair and thanks to Trump you have to pay more than double for a new one compared to what you paid for your previous one. The one woman paid almost $6,000 for her wheelchait and $3,500 of it was due to Trump’s tariffs
Americans are already seeing Trump's tariffs kick in. They sent in receipts to prove it
There's new tariffs on almost everything that is imported. Some of that increased cost is being eaten by exporters in other countries, but a lot of the higher prices are being picked up by Americans, ...

Until I see a Kamala Harris or a Gavin Newsom join Bernie and AOC on stage fighting to stop the Billionaires, I see no reason to vote for them. Because not joining them in their fight means they're fighting for the billionaires not for American citizens.

People like Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom will never fight for basic free healthcare or even basic affordable healthcare. We need to stop settling for the lesser of two evils and start voting for people who fight for the average American, not for the billionaires, and corporate interests

You will never see someone like Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsom tell voters they will get money out of politics. They will never say they're going to make the 1% pay 75% of all taxes. They will never fight for a true livable wage or make all drug prices match what they are in European countries.

Kamala Harris isn't a bad person, BUT most people want change, and Kamala Harris is unwilling to offer it. Corporate Democrats would rather keep losing elections than get money out of politics. That's why their messaging is always “Vote for us if you care about Democracy.”

Kamala Harris lost partially because she refused to go against the status quo. She never fought to get money out of politics, and she never claimed she would force the 1% to pay 75% of all taxes like they used to do. Hell, she wouldn't even condemn Israel because she didn't want to offend AIPAC

Of course if you know MAGA well then you know how MAGA businesses that have been expose are acting right now. They're claiming someone else added their businesses to the app without their knowledge which isn't how the app works. You have to personally add your business
