$150 billion in student loan forgiveness

40% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030

Income inequality going down for the first time in God knows how long, with working class wages rising faster than even pretty historic inflation

If you are invested in things like, I need you to not raise corporate taxes, or I need you not to send weapons to Ukraine, then I am sure the Democrats have been very disappointing yes. But there are a lot of people for whom that is not the viewpoint.

$150 billion out of $1.7 trillion…

A 40% reduction in emissions that we are no where near on track to meet.

Income inequality down for the first time since '07, largely due to the middle class wealth stagnating. The ultra wealthy increased their wealth the fastest of all groups.

I’m more invested in not sending weapons to Israel tbh. And this isn’t even picking apart the mass amount of issues both political parties align on or simply ignore.

I’m voting for Kamala. I’m super stoked that Biden dropped out. I believe Trump would be worse on all of these fronts, and I think Kamala has a better chance to win.

But a lot of people are still rightly disappointed in the Democrats, and to write us all off as Corporate shills and Tankies is alienating a group that you probably agree with on many levels.

I have watched a couple of Second Thought videos before. I don’t think I need to augment the experience any further.

(Actually I did just click on it, play a few seconds, and then click away, to damage their ranking slightly in the algorithm.)

So brave. Almost had your world views challenged there because the points you brought up here get debunked in the video.

Good thing you came in here to comment on this post instead.
