The Democratic Party is just a vessel. It used to be the right wing (relative). Now it’s the left wing (relative). Bernie and AOC don’t really fit in with the Dems, but they can. Same with Manchin.

There was a time where I thought a Musk type could rally many behind a weird Libertarian version of the DNC or RNC and shift the landscape. But he just went hard fascist as soon as he publicly aligned with the right.

The mayor refused to leave because he was where they authorized him to wait. And then he did leave.

That arrest is no better.

I don’t understand it for the reason you said. But also, they went out of their way to take a fake theoretical website case with no defendants who had damages just so they could rule on it.

So is the 30% on top of the old 20%, or is this a small parcel specific thing?

I wouldn’t say all. But most. And it doesn’t seem to be about the power. I think they genuinely support the genocide. The support from Israel, DNC leaders, conservative “moderates”, and powerful individuals is just a plus.

Weird how Republicans celebrate when a Republican does something progressive. It’s almost as if Americans like progressive policies. The right has just convinced a large portion of Americans that it’s Socialism or a “hand-out”. Usually the right is talking about flat taxes for the rich and the working class alike OR switching to sales tax only that way the poor are taxed on every penny they spend (which is most of it) and the rich who stockpile their wealth get taxed on almost none of it. This is only notable because he’s on the right.

As usual, the right is judged on their best and the left is judged on their worst.

If you like this and want progressive taxes that work for the working class instead of against them, vote blue. Or better yet, vote progressive.
