We can’t blame the President for inflation, gas, cost of living, wages, or justice… so why vote?

[Freedman]

Freedman negged you for your post in the thread We can’t blame the President for inflation, gas, cost of living, wages, or justice… so why vote?. With the following comment: Dumb nikka babble
Seems kinda outlandish

I neg everybody on here who saysdumb shyt like that

The thread title named everything that effects our day to day but y’all made it about Gas and Republicans. It was general question about presidency.

This is proof that the presidency is not the thing to be voting for, but the local, and state elections, as well as the senate and house seats. They hold all the power. People just dont pay attention and/or care about those important races/seats.

Its the same as most of your majority black cities having a Black police chief and/or mayor. When shyt goes bad in those areas, they can put all the blame on the Black person.

So why was the democrats acted as if we didn't get Trump out the world was doomed and not campaign off the importance of local voting?

People only care about the short term. How does this affect me today fix it now!!

Without considering what's happening long term. Most of you don't care about how you leave this planet to your children.

We have been trying to plan for a day where oil isn't as easily accessible and are stopped by rethug oil industry shills at every corner for decades. Conservatives are going to argue on behalf of oil until there isn't a drop left, and they will always get the low hanging fruit to buy in on it because who doesn't like more gas lower prices.

But it's a long con really. Sometimes to really move forward there is a hard transition but some people are too slow to see the forest for the trees.

What is the solution exactly? Get in bed with Russia so billy blue collar doesn't have to fill up is over sized f350 at twice the cost?

Yea this might not have happened under Trump, but at what cost? Getting in bed with a fascist for more comfort?

You know the Nazis fed the poor to get their vote.

Yall didnt keep the same energy for orange man

ORANGE MAN WAS SIGNING ORDERS LEFT AND RIGHT WHILE DISRUPTING THE MARKETS INVOLVED.

EVERYTHING HE WAS CRITICIZED FOR WAS A DIRECT RESULT OF AN ACTION HE TOOK.

 

[humminbird]

I still believe trump voters should be jailed, banned from voting. and sterilized for their participation in the trump era

Why? Cause people act stupid and take this Democrat/Republican thing way too far instead of electing a competent person to run the country. Everything is about party lines, and neither Dems nor Repubs will vote for the greater good because of that. This is what is actually fukking up this country

 

[CodeBlaMeVi]

Cause once we start criticizing, it’s always a reason why it’s not their fault or it’s something they can’t control

How did I miss this thread?

Exactly

 

[Eternal Tecate]

There's no point. They're all neo-liberals aka fascists. The change comes from getting people to read history, not from the voting booth.

How do yall keep falling for this dudes threads?


He'll drop the facade at times too and people will still roll with it

 

[MostReal]

It means you can't blame their preferred president. If Trump was in office and all this shyt was going on, these same shills that suddenly found nuance, would be blaming it all on him.

Yep

 

[Worthless Loser]

This is simple minded. Presidents can issue Executive Orders and direct policy in DOJ, Department of Education and other cabinet agencies that have a direct impact on people's lives. For better or for worse. The next President comes in and if he's from a different party, he reverses everything and issues his own orders and policy directives. Trump did this.

They can also influence governors and mayors to encourage their legislative bodies to pass laws that reflect the President's belief. Example, President Obama couldn't get Congress to raise the minimum wage so he encouraged Governors to do it at the state level. Several states ended up raising their minimum wage. On the wrong side of the equation is Governor DeSantis and the legislative body being literal MAGA robots with proposals and signed legislation that mirrors what Trump wants. Trump claimed the election was rigged and GOP Governors and their legislative bodies went crazy with voter suppression laws.

And obviously legislation. The Americans with Disabilities Act is President H.W Bush landmark achievement and it changed everything for citizens with disabilities. You may not get that if he wasn't President. FMLA (job protection law good up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave to take care of your own health, child health or parent health) under President Clinton may not happen if Bush beats him for a second term. Obamacare doesn't happen if John McCain won the election.

The Presidency is more complex than what's on the surface.

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

I'm just tryna follow the train of logic cause it always seems reactionary with yall.

Oil companies and Republicans have consistently fought against renewable energy & electric vehicles. Gas prices rise and then y'all go "Damn Biden/Dems fukking up we should vote Republican"

This energy problem is not going away, it'll only get worse. We should invested in alternatives decades ago but we're kicking the can down the road.

Name me some politicians whose platforms are based on the/a energy crisis?
