Confirmed...almost 25% of Democratic voters are assholes.
 

It doesn't matter who the Democratic candidate for president is in 2024. The Democratic candidate is not the Republican candidate. There is no other issue to consider. This applies to any election for any public office.

We already knew that almost 90% of Republican voters are assholes. And the 10% of them who support some other candidate for the Republican nomination are assholes anyway.

Alexander Hamilton said, “People get the government they deserve.” If we want to know what’s wrong with our nation, we need to look in the mirror.

The Democratic voters have been yearning for a change of guard for quite some time and none forthcoming, so its understandable that there is no early excitement. For the Republicans, their bad boy is back in the saddle again promising them the moon.

Let see what the numbers look like a year from now after President Biden has had a chance to campaign actively while the TFG sticks his foot in his mouth.

In a one-on-one debate tRump would (naturally for him) lie. He'd have to.

Way too many Democrats are idiots. It shouldn't take a year of campaigning for some ultra liberal schmuck from the Gold Coast of Chicago to figure out he needs to vote for whatever fucking vote whore is the candidate the Democrats run for any goddamn office. The GOP is the party of sedition and insurrection. The Democratic candidate in your Chicago north side US House district isnt progressive enough? Doesn’t replicate AOC? TOO FUCKING BAD...THEY GET YOU VOTE ANYWAY.

I find this very strange as President Biden has actually delivered generational legislation that benefits everyone directly or indirectly:

> American Rescue Plan.
> Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
> Inflation Reduction Act.
> The CHIPS & Science Act.
> Expansion of the Affordable Care Act.

... and the GOP or should I say GQP and their media partners are doing all they can to muddy the waters so this news doesn't get out.

I see this as a reflection on our political mirroring our social being. The people expect to be taken care of as their right. Thinking little of how this needs to be accomplished of the pain to themself.

Showing little gratitude or appreciation for the benefits, rather feeling entitled and complaining for yet more. Just don't want to be the one to suffer any inconveniences.

Or they are frustrated with the purchasing power of their pay.

Well sure...we know all about what Americans are like...
We want everything we want
We want it right now
We want somebody else to pay for it

It goes for everything, most prominently, it goes for healthcare. We want it, but we don't want to pay for it. We want the boss to pay for it, and for most ignorant entitled Americans if we want universal Medicare for everybody, we don't want our income tax bill to increase to get it. Of course Americans are pretty fucking stupid about this...you can show them eight ways from Sunday how we are paying twice as much as we could for our healthcare than we have to. All we have to do is pay for it through income tax and the government will take care of it. But we're stupid motherfuckers for whom nothing fucking matters but our income tax bill. We're too stupid to realize that we would have more income if the boss didn't have to pay for our health insurance...and that it would be more money in our paycheck than the increase in our tax bill.

But we are the dumbest poor bastards of all the first world countries, so half of us vote for Republicans and the other half of us diddle shit around deciding that in this current cultural war, our only choice is to vote for the Democrat for every political office, and if we are unhappy that the candidate doesn't sound like AOC, we just need to shut the fuck up and for for that candidate anyway.

Jesus fucking christ on a pogo stick.

Pay is down a bit.

"Real average hourly earnings increased 0.2 percent, seasonally adjusted, from May 2022 to May 2023. The change in real average hourly earnings combined with a decrease of 0.9 percent in the average workweek resulted in a 0.7-percent decrease in real average weekly earnings over this period." --BLS May 2023

It's not a new trend, of course. What you need now is polling data or something to confirm or deny your hypothesis that this affects people's attitudes in the directions suggested in this thread.

You must have a huge f'n ego. Speak for yourself!

^^^ this ^^^

As one now who could be called "living on a fixed income" and seeing the increases in prices. See the changes on the way our country's overall recent history of the loss of regulations protections and privatizing the very safeguard afforded in the past to the citizens.

Then add the new expenses seen as normal. Cell phone bill, streaming media, retirement saving 401K's ..... Increases in insurance due to claim increases.

Centralizing the supply chain, elimination of local in favor of on time delivery. The use of six sigma and the greed and it has seemed to spawn.

... and the GOP (GQP) is doing everything they can, every chance they get, to blame the Democrats and Biden for everything that negatively affects the pocketbook facts be damned.
