In 2016, we warned that Hillary Clinton’s campaign was not resonating with Americans. In 2024, we warned about Kamala Harris, and we were ignored again. Now, the worst has happened. So, what do we do? A leftist analysis can help us chart a path forward.

    You said your “don’t jive” with such measures because it doesn’t concern you as a childless person, I’m telling you it’s ridiculous to “not jive” with such measures because you still need people to have kids even if you don’t have them yourself. You don’t like a measure that benefits you because you are too self centered to realize it does.

      Oof. Bad take, bad take.

      Here’s the thing, I can still not personally like something, complain about not ever getting anything myself as a single non married person, while still voting for the person and that policy because I know it benefits the greater good.

      You don’t seem to realize that people can dislike something, and feel left out of policies like these, but still support it for the greater good.

      Next time before you call someone fucking self centered, how about getting more details.

      Fucking asshole. Have a terrible terrible day today.

        That’s the thing though, you are getting something from it! But because others are getting money and you’re getting something that isn’t money you can’t see it and therefore dislike the project!

        Who’s got a bad take here? The person disliking social safety nets or the person disliking them when it isn’t a direct advantage to them?

        You’re part of a community, when people suffer you feel the consequences, when people do better you do better. Get your head out of your ass.

            Prove me wrong if I’m so stupid.

            Child poverty leads to people who don’t get as much education which leads to people voting against their own best interest like they did a few days ago.

            Are you going to pretend you won’t feel any consequences of that?

            Less education leads to people being less healthy which leads to higher healthcare costs that comes out of your pockets.

            Are you going to pretend you don’t feel any consequences of that?
