His constituents really need to understand that he doesn’t care. He’s willing to tank the economy b/c he and his rich friends can afford to weather that storm. In fact, it’ll be a buying at discount opportunity for them. The vast majority of that base is absolutely not those ppl. They chose wrong, and I hope they’ll learn.

Just straight up stop buying shit. Drink filtered tap, and live off only what you need and shrug off ppl that think buying expensive shit will make them cool.

politics @lemmy.world•Tim Walz says he may run for president in 2028 despite failure of Harris campaign
1·2 years agoI disagree. One of the largest groups to swing right were young men, and if you listened to many of their criticisms, they thought Tim was pandering to them which made them think he was disingenuous. If he tries to flip it in the next campaign, he’ll seem even less authentic. If he doesn’t, we’re at status quo. I don’t see that being different for any dem candidate, regardless of gender, without a change in approach.
I’m not saying their criticisms are right or wrong, but they are voters. Whether we like it or not, we need to listen to them b/c of that fact.
Even if the candidate was a woman, a genuine attempt to engage with them and find common ground would likely have a better chance at swinging enough of them than if we stick to Tim. However, knowing how people respond to being slighted and pandered to, I’m unsure there’s much of a chance to reach them anymore. But it would still be a better chance if we engaged with them rather than ignoring them.

4·2 years agoBeing POC is absolutely a huge factor in being bullied, and I never said it was only a POC thing. All the groups named can be bullied, but in the context of this article, POC-based bullying is absolutely a correct statement to bring up.

I would like to remind everyone that there are many MANY POC that deal with this, suicide or not. It’s much more common that POC are often the first to be bullied b/c others think they can get away with it. If you want this to stop, you have to call out every instance of it. It’s not just Trump that’s responsible. It’s also all those that sit back and let it happen. If you say you’re against it, then do something about it.
We gotta get him out of the first charges first
That largely depends on the position imo, and this is not one of the positions where being smart enough is enough…if youre trying to do a job that helps the most people possible.
I think he is smart enough to know that causing chaos will help only those that he favors tho.
Trump’s so stupid that it has alleviated any sense of imposter syndrome for me, and it should for you if you have it too.

22·2 years agoI also think we ought to stop being consumers at a broad level. It’s clear the rich don’t actually trickle anything down and instead hoard it to invest. So, they won’t spend to prop up the economy.

Tbh, a Trump presidency just presents too much fuckery. I don’t even really like Kamala, but I’m more comfortable with what the US looks like after a term with her than with what Trump put forth.
This is a vote in avoiding a very obvious detriment to our country.
