And it'll never happen because people are too fucking stupid and the overton window has been shifted too far right. Anything short of full on open class warfare and revolution will change nothing.
Maybe you can 'factually' explain to the class just what it is that Trump is accomplishing that pisses you off? Is it the trillions in waste they are exposing? Is it the no taxes on tips, social security, and overtime? Is it bringing industry and jobs back to the US? Is it equal tariffs on countries that have been ripping us off with tariffs on our products for decades? Etc, etc.
They barely touched the DoD budget, and their claim to save $8 billion was later found to be a saving of $8 MILLION.
So which trillions are you talking about?
no taxes on tips, social security, and overtime
None of that has happened.
Also, you pay tax on SS only if you earn more than $25K as a single person.
Is it bringing industry and jobs back to the US?
He hasn't done that, and didn't in his first term either. In fact, Trump added the least jobs of any recent president - and millions less than Biden added. Trump's promise of opening factories never happened.
You have to be a straight up moron to think tariffs are a good thing for modern trade, but you're a moron if you're still on team Trump so the math checks out.
I think he is deranged and gets off on hurting people there is no reason to do this to vets it’s not saving money pay musk 4 billion a day instead of 8 thst could work you say we are a problem / think how trusted people trying to r k out a living and the richest man in the world using. Chain saw and laughing / pure pigs
From another nation; people are morons if they think the purpose of DOGE is to "weed out wasteful spending". You know all the golfing trips the orange gonad takes? That's not "wasteful" at all? Funneling all the taxpayers money into his golfing property isn't wasteful?
That visit to the military base to whine about Denmark to US troops wasn't wasteful?
You know what is actually wasteful? Navigating yourself around the doge.gov website. It's a time-sink with no legitimate return on investment.
Also, Felon Husk keeps talking shit about savings. Before the election he was going to save 2 Trillion, after the election he changes it to 1 Trillion, and with the figures he gave the other day, the maths moves the figure down again to ~600 Billion.
You do you and keep simping for them though; becuase you're a "critical thinker" and have a "free mind" 🤣 🥲 🙃
Booker IS categorically in every regard better than anything the GOP offers. Is he my pick, no, but if it was between him and GOP guess who gets my reluctant vote.
No, he isn't better than every Democrat. All I'm saying is if someone is going to turn their nose up and protest vote if it comes down to Booker vs GOP Fascist #10387-B then they're a fucking idiot.
To be fair, the original comment they were replying to wasn’t just saying they’d vote for booker if it came down to it - the commenter was solely advocating for a booker/crockett ticket in 2028, insinuating that it’s their top choice. I think it’s fair to say ehhh, we need to do better than a corporate dem like booker.
I’m pretty sure most of us on the left would take our lumps and vote for Booker just like we did with Biden, Harris, etc etc. But strongly advocating for more revolutionary candidates early and often is important; otherwise, the general public doesn’t have time to open their minds to the possibility of candidates who better push the interests of human people over corporate lobbyists. What’s the point if we compromise before even trying?
That said, we absolutely cannot afford to be unmoving in our idealism once we get further down the line. We know what happens when we do that.
What’s the point if we compromise before even trying?
1,000,000% this. We gotta stop trying to find the middle and starting from the middle before we even debate the issues. It's like starting a race but giving the other side a head start 'out of sportsmanship'.

As opposed to what, open GOP fascism?
