I can't say I remember the last time I saw Democrat leadership out running rallies or protests. They make speeches and stand in front of microphones. Either the Dems need to change or Republicans are going to win the next few elections.
This is not new. Nothing changes and none of them want it to.

That name will not stick like Obamacare. Most Americans liked Obama, right now Trump is taking food out of the mouths of even MAGA's children and MAGAs elderly parents. No one will want it named after DJT after this ends.

The thing none of those countries have are an armed citizen army that is ten times the size of our military. We have half a billion guns which is way more than all militaries in the world combined.
The best the military could hope for against citizens is guerilla warfare they can fight with drones.

If it's still under construction at the end of his term, stop construction and tear it down. If it's complete, tear it down. I wouldn't mind so much if Trump had asked Congress and that when he said it wouldn't actually touch the WH, he meant it. The WH does need one but not for 1000 ppl.

HEY, the US only has 1.2m active duty personally. This money goes for more than that, but let's say just soldiers. 130m / 1.2m works out to about $100. It's still illegal as far as I'm concerned but only works out to about $100 per soldier and that's not enough to change their loyalty.

Now take food away from their children and see if they still sit behind a computer screen.

The US has 1.2m soldiers and even more to pay but if they are just paying active duty soldiers, 130m works out to about $100 per soldier. This is illegal but not really enough money to get the military to change it's loyalty.

There are 1.2 million active duty soldiers and 130 million only gives them about $100 bucks each. This isn't exactly money that would change their loyalty.

Yeah, I'm against violence but his cuts of SNAP and threats of cuts to SS/SSD, Medicare/caid would impact 220 million Americans and their families so pretty much every American and that is uniting the left and right.
We have too many guns for gun nuts to not use them at some point.

"guaranteed right to organized non-violent resistance"
2A gives us the right for violent resistance, it's 2As intended purpose.

He's threatening to cut SS/SSDI and Medicare/caid, which 220m citizens use at least one of. Those people have families, so there would be few homes not very pissed, and he's already uniting people over SNAP.
The us military is outnumbered by armed citizens 100-1 or more.

This is scary but if 2A had any purpose, this is when gun nuts will start using their pew pews. There are 100m armed citizens with half a billion guns (more than all militaries combined) which make up a force of about 100-1 against us soldiers. There's 1.2m soldiers, not enough to control much.

The largest number of people harmed are his voters and pissing them off is uniting the left and right. SS/SSDI, Medicare/caid that he's now slashing is used by 220 million Americans and those people have family. He's going to seriously harm the pockets of just about every single American.

That's his tactic. He tried to take away every penny to help pay for lunches for kids in school to force Maine to repeal our trans sports protection laws. We sued and won but that was early on. He's getting more bold these days.

Dems are not left of center, they are simply left of Repubs. Until people start voting for candidates on the actual left, we won't be able to say "boo" to Repubs.
How do I know? Dems are AGAINST universal healthcare. I almost didn't vote for Biden b/c he pledged to not improve it in 2020.

Half of Congress are already millionaires and many of them would work for free because the job makes them rich and powerful anyway.
More than half of this nation is functionally illiterate so they don't understand these things very often because it's hard to do so when you can't read.

Left wing as well. The Dem party is AGAINST universal healthcare and when Biden was running in 2020 he pledged to NOT improve the ACA. I almost didn't vote for him over that and I'm not going to vote for another Dem that is against it. Dems are left of Repubs, not left of center.
25.10.2025 14:03 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0
No, the greater mystery is why the Democat party is vehemently AGAINST universal healthcare even though the overwhelming majority of their voters are demanding it.
Democrats are not left of center, no one in allied foreign nations thinks Dems are on the left over healthcare alone.

Right and when Biden was running for office in 2020 he mentioned how important it is to advance the ACA, I'm just kidding, during his campaign he pledged to NOT make any changes. The Dem party is against universal healthcare. Full Stop. They are AGAINST it. We need candidates on the actual left.

Biden was in there for four years and his pledge when running in 2020 was to NOT advance the ACA in any way. I almost didn't vote for him over that statement alone. The Dem party is not on the left, they are just Republican-Lite.
Enough of this "tiny steps" Dem bullshit. Go be Republicans.

Republicans? Democrats don't even support this, even though the vast majority of their voters demand it. The establishment isn't left of center, they are right of center. Ask anyone outside of the US, our liberals are more conservative than many allied nation's conservatives are. Convince Dems 1st.

Oh shit, I know! You guys can all go vote for yet another right of center establishment Democrat and Dems will lose again, to Susan Collins. The only person in the state least liked than Janet Mills right now is Shenna Bellows.

I'm sorry but if I watched every 16 min video people sent me it's all I would do all day. I read the description though and yeah, Dems have been screaming this bullshit for my entire life.
The Dems are not left of center, they are right of center over this issue alone. Dems party is dying.

I will have to read through them then. I grew up during the end of the cold war so those words to people my age and older aren't understanding but insults and it seems to have been revived in the past few years.

I see you like to post this but this was always a pie-in-the-sky fantasy. That case has so many ways to wriggle out of it and SCOTUS already made the final say on it.
It is a bit silly that a few states could leave a candidate off the ballot, it would absolutely change Presidential elections.
