That wasn’t the reason why democrats lost in 2016.

I wish we’d yell at democrats for failing to appeal to voters, which is really one of the most basic responsibilities of a politician.

Why?

What coalition? Is genocide not considered serious enough to assemble this afternoon coalition?

Is that any worse than the other parties who pay billions to daddy bibi for the privilege of sucking his cock? Honest question.

“The Biden-Harris administration focused on replacing them with clean energy.”

Did they though? I don’t know how record fracking approvals and 100% tariffs on EVs help with that.

Whatever arguments people have tried to make about israel’s “right to exist” have been crushed with this past year’s onslaught of brutality, if it wasn’t already apparent before then. Not only does such a barbaric country not have a right to exist, it is imperative that it be destroyed and turned into something civilized, just like nazi germany. Fuck israel.

He should be stripped of all the riches he has drained from the US, then he should be tarred and feathered and shipped out of the country via raft. Good riddance to that worthless parasite.

Not much of a gift anymore when everyone expects a minimum of – what is it now – 25%? The expected minimum percentage keeps increasing as people endlessly grandstand about the amount they pay because of how much workers depend on tips for their income. Then there’s shame at play if you don’t comply, with some thinking it’s okay to mess with the food if one doesn’t pay the expected minimum “gift”. It’s really just extortion at that point.

This is just federal income tax and doesn’t count tax contributions towards medicare and social security (which is capped after a certain level, so someone making $1 million a year pays the same toward social security as someone making the cap which is currently around $160k). It also doesn’t count state income taxes.

Seems to me like less of a torch passing and more of a torch taking, akin to taking the car keys from grandpa because he’s a danger when driving now. Not that I’m complaining, because things are looking a lot better with Harris at the helm.

edit: anyone downvoting want to explain how I’m wrong? Biden insisted he was staying in the race over and over until his hand was clearly forced and now the blow is being softened with “actually I meant to drop out but things were moving too fast” even though there were multiple points he was being asked to drop (including after the debate) and he refused. Hell, he could’ve simply not run in the primary if he sincerely believed he was a “transition president” in the first place.

The solution would be to increase the lowest tax bracket then.

I’d rather not further cement tips as a fundamental part of our economic system. It’s gotten so stupid to the point where you get asked for a tip before any service has even occurred and then the “service” is often just counter service which used to not be tipped. By not taxing this income, you’re encouraging more income to be paid through tips to avoid taxes. When you’re making all these little exemptions and special cases, maybe it’s time to rethink the fundamental system so that it works better as a base case rather than having all these poorly-applied bandaids.

If people are dying under the flag then we should destroy the flag to prevent others from dying under it.

Biden was sending weapons and billions of dollars to israel while faking support to Palestinians (the shitty pier which didn’t help much or last long was the biggest sign) in an attempt to contain backlash just so he could keep sending the weapons and billions of dollars to israel. Noticing something so obvious doesn’t make me high, it just means I have a brain.

Maybe, but hopefully we’d get someone better than Pete.

How? First off, Harris isn’t Biden. No one is confused by this, but maybe you are because you think Harris must have the exact same stances and opinions as Biden. Second, it wasn’t just “tankies” who were upset at Biden’s enthusiastic support for genocide. Anyone with any shred of decency is against genocide. Finally, people like you claimed that Biden was our best chance to beat Trump and insisted that we all had to throw our support behind him because Trump is worse and that anyone criticizing Biden for supporting genocide is a tankie. Turns out that him dropping out to make way for a better candidate actually works and many Americans are excited that we don’t have to support such a garbage candidate just because the other side has a worse candidate. The positive reaction to Biden dropping out was immediate and clear.

He only got the job because democratic party leadership decided to coalesce around him in 2020.

What if the party unites to oust him?

There was. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/andrewkaczynski/obama-promised-to-sign-the-freedom-of-choice-act-o
