current political climate
I have always been a democrat but lately getting frustrated with the politics in US. it used to be about helping middle class but now its about taxing anything that moves and giving people free stuff. Not a fan of Trump but wondering if im the only dem seeing it like this?
Careful, if you don't post acceptable, approved left wing stuff, your post might get flagged 🤣🤣
I’m still Democrat but don’t like the candidates this time around and the “bold” new ideas like wealth tax.
Uhhhhhh sanders is ALL ABOUT helping the middle class, you troll
He said “Billionaires shouldn’t exist”. I don’t agree with that. You don’t have to be a republican to disagree with a democrat.
He is just another commie in disguise. How many times do we have to see history repeat before we learn? Socialism and communism don’t work!
No you are not a democrat. You are a fcuking troll - may be Russian
Who are you, GoDems? You think dems will you green cards since you smart ass working for a broken company? There are millions illegals ahead of you dems are eager to make them citizens.
Oh puhleeze. Weak attempt at concern trolling.
Not a Dem but feel both parties are only few degrees separated on tax policies (Bernie / Warren are not representative of Dems). For decades tax burden has been shifting to middle class, whereas historically uber rich and corporations paid much more. Corporate lobbying has made R and D both shift the tax burden to the middle class (you, me and rest of Blind). Inequality will destroy our model of society like nothing else. Current climate reflects some Dems trying to capitalize on populism not make actual structural reforms. Middle class suffers regardless.
I think the shift began around the 80s where corporations and the ridiculously wealthy-- meaning absolutely none of you on blind with high tc-- began paying less and less taxes
Trump raised taxes on the middle class. Try looking at actual data on tax rates over time

TL;DR: To a large degree, the gap between perception and reality on the tax cuts appears to flow from a sustained — and misleading — effort by liberal opponents of the law to brand it as a broad middle-class tax increase.
Politicians always promise shit before an election. Fortunately, it is Congress, not the President that writes the budget.
“Um I’m dem and I’m not sure if I like this free stuff talk, so I think I’ll vote for a treasonous embarrassing mentally-challenged clown instead”. Lol. Try better next time.
You’re not alone. I’m not registered for either party but tend to vote dem. Based on the way the candidacy is going / free hand outs I’ll likely vote Trump.
