You’re right, but just look at what happened to Biden’s “day 1 priority” Voting Rights Act. Dumpstered after 1 week in office.

How do you propose we hold democrats’ feet to the fire and force them to work on passing such legislation?

Clearly no TRUE Republican would actually demand we prioritize America first, before funneling billions to foreign governments for…reasons.

Well reasoned counter argument, as expected.

Anyway, regarding your edit - I never said $10k was chump change for regular people, but for those in Congress, it is. Sorry if you’re mad over it, but that’s a fact. For almost everyone there, the whole point is to get rich off insider trading and bribe money.

Ro doesn’t take those bribes, and I don’t fault him for making a few relatively small trades for stuff he knows will be mooning. If you don’t like it, pressure your reps to ban congressional trading, like I do mine.

What a piece of shit trump is. America has just as talented workers as the rest of the world, and our garbage corporations like to exploit H-1Bs to undercut well deserved labor costs. This is total regulatory capture on display, Trump is a corporate removed and will gladly betray working class Americans if you pay him some money or buy his shitcoin to do so.

Chuck’s defense team out in full force today huh? Pathetic, just like him.

Khanna is the leader of the dem progressive caucus. It’s his job to publicly, forcefully call for Schumer to resign after such an incredible betrayal of the American people in favor of corporate interests. And Chucklefuck needs to get out of the way, because there is a massive sea change in politics now in favor of populist policies and he is in the way. We should stick Schumer in one of Cuomo’s covid infested retirement homes if you ask me.

Digging up tweets from 2016 to pretend he’s some modern day ball licker of Thiel’s? Ok, sure, very relevant. I suppose you also think Graham Platner is a Nazi b/c he got a tattoo 20 years ago as a young dumbass?

Ro invested 10k in Palantir, who gives a shit he’s a millionaire like all of Congress and is invested in all kinds of shit, especially stuff he knows will be getting massive gov’t contracts. Don’t like it? Ask Pelosi to pass the STOCK act before she leaves. Ro has, consistently. He’s also the first Justice Dem, and has never taken corporate pac money. He’s not corrupted by the likes of Thiel, while Schumer very much is.

Excellent point. The miles long US tax code leaks taxation on the wealthy like a sieve, by design, such that many of our billionaires pay less than average working class citizens. It’s grotesque, and even now they’re pushing to strip healthcare from millions to pay even less.

I have heard some dems a/b testing recently on ideas of taxing wealth not work. I really like that approach in theory, hope it sticks and we can finally start narrowing the insane and utterly untenable wealth gap.
