So a few things on my mind tonight, it feels like it's a smoke alarm in my mind but it's early in the process. I was on Reddit earlier ( yes yes i know ) reading some R/politics stuff and i seen where someone cautioned that Buttigieg doesn't really seem to be connecting with Black and Hispanic voters right now. People just ignored what that person said for the most part on some " So? what about them? :mjpls:" shyt. That's irked me for a while after reading.

Another thing is apparently O'Rourke was the only one to visit Ohio in the month of March and also the first to visit Virginia too. Like come on now i know it's primary time but fukk that, every candidate better be campaigning their asses off. Basically what i'm getting at is it feels like Dems don't really have this under control like i thought. Like we haven't fully learned from our own mistakes yet, just wanted to run that by ya'll.

It's still way too early.... Also, Beto isn't in Congress anymore so he's got tons of free time.

Warren's charitable giving. :wow:

D4W02QiXoAACHx6.jpg

The fact that that could be considered a lot is insane to me. :dwillhuh:

You're making nearly $800,000/year, you're only giving 6% of that away to charity, and people think that's gracious? :what:

She could give ten times that much to charity and she'd still have way more money than 99% of the world does. :skip:

Rich people are greedy as fukk, even the "good" ones. :wow:

Are you talking about Elizabeth Warren or Kamala Harris?

33% of Warren's income goes to taxes. And you want her to give 60% of it to charities too?

40% of Harris' income goes to taxes. If you multiplied her charity by 10, less than 15% of her income would go charity. Harris would still have 850k left (45% of 1.89M).

You realize that most of those tax payments would disappear if they made charitable donations of that size, right?

If Elizabeth Warren donated $500,000 to charity last year, she'd still be clearing over $200,000 AFTER taxes.

Like I said, that would give her more income than 99% of the people on the planet. And that's ignoring her $8 million net worth. She could make an easy living off of interest alone even if she donated 100% of her other income to charity.

I'm not hating on Warren, I'm making a comment on society. The fact that we would laud an extremely wealthy person giving just 6% of their income to charity says something about all of us.

No shot? He is the incumbent but he won by 77,000 in 3 states to win the presidency. His approvals ratings in the Midwest are down. Beating him isn’t impossible especially if he remains unpopular.

The media is lying to you like the normally do. Trump got the Mid West locked up including MI, OH and WI. The immigration issue is backfiring on the Dems behind the scenes.

If he has it in lock why did all 3 of those states elect Dem US Senators by healthy margins 6 months ago? 2 out of those 3 elected Dem Governors. Trump campaigned in the Midwest.

Pennsylvania has also elected Gov and Senator who are Dem.

Trump’s favorability numbers are underwater all through the Midwest. He ain’t got shyt locked up. This isn’t Obama 2012. Look at the map.

What are Joni Earnst and Mitch numbers? Why do I have the feeling Joni is a secret Cory Gardner?
