Dems know exactly how they could get a massive landslide in the midterms, and are choosing not to do it.

Trump is part of the billionaire class having stolen the reins of government that allows him to steal our tax money for his personal use

He is a symptom of the disease, and both must be dealt with as such.

They're billionaires because of monetary policy, Elon Musk and Tesla wouldnt be worth so much if inflation didnt reward risky assets and provide an unlimited runway to profitability. We bid up asset prices until prices rise 2% a year; prices that exclude assets like housing, subjective hedonic downward adjustments of goods prices, and substitutions/shrinkflation.

Blame the rich if you want, I blame the unelected central bank thats debasing your paycheck with 7% annual money supply growth, QE, and bailouts. If the money supply didnt grow every year you wouldnt need to beg your boss for a cost of living adjustment that doesnt match reality. Our parents ate free range grass fed meat, we eat corn fed factory farm troglodytes, and our children will eat highly processed imitation meat slop, and the CPI will mark no difference between the three.

Tesla would be worth basically nothing if the federal government weren't artificially propping them up by banning Chinese EVs.

It's both? He does claim to be a billionaire.

I think his crypto scam actually made that true. Millions of people are willing to spend money to prove their loyalty.

Both parties are the billionaire class 🤣

There is no truly left party with any type of power in the US.

Every time.

Neo libs are similarly to blame, not as bad as gqp, but not fixing it either...

TBF, Trump is glazing the billionaire class about as much as he's glazing Putin and Netanyahu.

Hrmm.

Seeing this again reminds me when I was recently told saying "Democrats" instead of "Democratic Party" is an indicator of having been watching too much right wing media.

House Democrats

For anyone unfamiliar with Nina Turner, she has run for Congress before and the Democrats united against her.
