I recall plans being unveiled for $40k in student loan relief around this time 4 years ago as well. That didn’t happen, the concession is blocked by court order, and now I’m being told to vOtE again just one more time.

Just like how vOtInG was supposed to codify Roe v Wade, bring in police reform, correct the trillions of dollars handed out on PPP fraud, bring us Medicare for all… damn you know what I’ve been being told to vOtE these problems away for decades now.

Why don’t Dems push policy through during one of the many majorities they’ve enjoyed in the last 60 years?

Yeah let's appeal to capitalists and small business owners, that'll win your progressive base over. I hope she loses to Trump.

The debate is just going to be her and Don trying to out-fascist each other, isn't it?

I will create a final solution to the Border Problem.

I made the whole Border Problem discourse the core of my platform, how dare you say you will deal with it. Only I can fix it through state violence.

I'm a cop, who do you think is better at facilitating state violence to solve problems?

If Don still has a working brain, he might be able to pull off the same inversion that he did with Hillary, making him seem to be the pro-peace and reconciliation candidate, but I won't hold my breath on that one.

If Trump steps aside and hands the reins to Tulsi, as Biden did to Kamala, it would probably be the republican party's best chance at winning in November.

Trump would never do it, of course. Too narcissistic. Also, probably too late.

In addition to the strategy of “No I promise we’re more evil than Trump please vote for us and we’ll do all the evil you want” they’ve been using since Biden, Kamala’s rolling out the new strategy of “I suck worse than Biden too somehow”

Stop giving concessions to the rich.

A capitalist party will always serve the rich.

Ah there is that corporatism that had been hidden until the convention coming back to light. Can't wait for her student loan forgiveness plan for entrepreneurs who operate in disadvantaged areas for 3 years.

squidward-nochill 28% of an oligarch's flesh can be lethal if it's the right cut.
