(29 posts)Yep, this article sums up the Democratic Party. It's always the messaging and never the policies.
Unemployment is low! (but the jobs all suck)
Inflation is back to normal! (but the prices from the prior inflation and price gouging are still there)
We're going to give you a small amount of money to buy a house! (but do nothing to lower the prices to actually buy the house)
We lifted millions of people out of poverty! (by barely getting them over the federal poverty level). Ask a family of four making $33,000 if they are still poor or not (the federal poverty level for a family of four is $31,200)
The Democratic party has baby-stepped us into fascism. Everything they do is too little and generally too late. Always baby steps, never big changes. Even in their proposals. Things like $6000 tax credit to newborns. One year of benefits then back to your crappy life only now you have a child to care for! $25,000 to buy a new home except that people can't afford to save up for a down payment and that $25,000 is a down payment on a home that costs $125,000 while the median home price is $420,000 (and the average home price is $501,000).
You can't be the party of government works and can help people without actually making government work and help people. That means not just the poor but everyone who is NOT RICH. That means the lower middle class, the middle middle class, and the upper middle class. Because guess what those people are NOT RICH.
