...it's just not.
It's happening, mostly unabated, right now.
And I'm not campaigning for anything.
What happened to speaking out about what concerns us?
The Democratic party is a coalition of like interests and concerns. It's a vehicle to reconcile those often disparate interests and initiatives into action or law.
You got my concerns, and it's really something to be told that it's old news. I live in a region with a lot of federal workers that had their jobs eviscerated by DOGE.
Unless you're well off, you're already strained family or personal budget was hindered and harmed by Trump's arbitrary and illegal tariffs. Most of the talk is about refunding business, not the people who pay a greater percentage of their disposable income on the very goods that saw price increases due to passed on tariff costs to suppliers and merchants.
If you give it a minute, your nation's president will again threaten the sovereign nation of Denmark by threatening Greenland. That should matter, but I get that Trump has defined deviancy down so far that people forget that we should care about how our nation treats others, especially ones that have been stalwart allies for generations.
10% APR on credit cards is another point that should rankle folks struggling to get by, especially the growing numbers who are falling behind some $20, $30 thousand in credit card debt just to sustain themselves in this economy.
Are you really saying that affordable medicine is old news? Millions were just cut off from subsidies for their health insurance and can't even see a doctor now. Trump should be challenged with his promises and claims to reduce prescription costs. Why in the world should we regard this as old news?
$2 gas may well be an empty promise but it's more than double the increase that people who don't have means to weather the Iran war price spikes should be interested to know that Trump has not only broken his promise, but repeatedly said he doesn't care.
The Epstein files. Victims are demanding justice, and the WH and their toadies at DOJ, Trump's personal attorney Blanche, is obstructing justice, breaking the law that ordered their full release, and covering up child sex crimes and criminals. Trump wishes this was old news, and works everyday to make that so.
Reopening the Strait of Hormuz that was already open is in the news TODAY, with Mike Johnson declaring the war 'over' while saying in the next breath that we need to reopen the Strait. Certainly you're not just willing to be continually lied to about an ongoing, destabilizing, deadly war that Israel and Trump promised just YESTERDAY to escalate when he returns from China.
"Ending wars in 24 hours" would seem to be a relevant point of debate, considering the ongoing, seemingly intractable ME war still waging and scheduled to escalate.
People who don't have to worry about silly old things like choosing between gas, medicine, utilities through the roof, or food might have a hard time understanding why Trump promising "cheaper groceries" isn't relevant TODAY.
The “privately funded” ballroom and a vanity arch. See above for the relevance today.
