Still a very green banana.

Direct message

being younger and more mentally fit than Trump is not a justification or a qualification to elect someone as leader

Democrats support old fashioned politics that will slow progress down like molasses just as much as Republicans and so do the voters who keep showing their support for the slow regressive march backwards towards the good old’ days with voting

how else could the Democrats win?

every election they pander more to the right and if someone does not run that is worse what would they have to campaign on?

progressive politics?

Harris is set to hold two rallies in North Carolina and one in Pennsylvania as part of the kickoff for her “New Way Forward Tour,” which her campaign said is an effort to “capitalize on her decisive victory” against former President Donald Trump at the ABC News debate earlier this week.

what new way forward? is she going to suddenly come out strong on anything with a plan forward?

she said nothing in the debates about anything that affects the US citizens on a day-to-day basis and neither did Trump

no matter who wins there will be more police funding, less healthcare, no women’s rights, no healthcare reform, nothing to help the environment, more genocide, more antiimmigration, more world policing, stagnant pay, and lots of molasses

what does Harris bring to the table besides being more mentally fit and yes younger but still too old to relate to the populace just like Trump

more of a dissident of the United States btw

not able to vote or do a lot of things that people who will blindly vote for Democrats or Republicans and play ball take for granted

the more the US falls apart under Democrat and Republican leaders the more people seem to latch on to them, but it is the wrong lifeboat and the last hundred years should have been a red flag that something more is needed to keep this sinking country afloat

people need help with childcare and affordable housing because of bipartisan politics

takes a higher minimum wage and better education to help with both of these plus workers’ rights and universal healthcare and police reform and environmental reforms

what good is help with childcare bills when the parent and/or parents is/are not paid enough to purchase food or other necessities and while they are on their way to get their child from that child care facility that they get assistance with they get pulled over and hassled by police and when they finally come home the electricity is off because they are not given living wages for the work they put in and then the kids grow not understanding as adults how to fix the situation in their country because they lack the tools better education would have provided thus the circle continues and the Republican and Democrats get their low paid factory worker that lacks the knowledge to improve their lives and will keep propping up the two party sham

takes more than just helping with childcare which is only needed because Democrats and Republicans both do not support living wages because their financial backers do not support it

was all show that seemed rigged and was void of substance that the US citizens desperately needed decades ago

then what do you call a candidate that is propolice, prowar, against minimum wage/ workers’ rights, against immigration, hires republicans, against universal healthcare

how much like Republican do you have to act to be called a Republican

yes that is exactly what am suggesting

but unfortunately, too many citizens are drowning in the red and blue punch bowls to vote third party

she did yes but none of it involved anything that is really needed

universal healthcare, police reform, environmental protections, minimum wage

only thing the Democrats stood strongly on was women rights which they have ignored for over half a century

so long so rights have now started to be lost and only now are they voicing an opinion on top for asking for donations
