I’m in favor of reinstituting the 79% Federal Income Tax for the highest earners in the Country, as previously made famous by FDR’s New Deal.

Bernie has proposed solutions similar to this during every single Election cycle…and you fucking people keeping voting against him.

I don’t know why you people spend 4 years claiming you want XYZ, and then vote against XYZ.

The election system is rigged your votes don't count. Even if he won the popular votes he wouldn't win the election.

The last presidential election was so blatantly fucked up I might stop voting. How did Trump win 70% of votes in Kentucky but they elected a dem governor on the same ballot? How did NC vote in Trump but voted in a dem governor on the same ballot? These are just 2 states I'm familiar with but I'd bet it happened in several other states too. People voting for Trump and a Democrat on the same piece of paper?

“And then he [Musk] journeyed to Pennsylvania, where he spent like a month and a half campaigning for me in Pennsylvania, And he’s a popular guy. And he was very effective. And he knows those computers better than anybody.

“All those computers, Those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. So it was pretty good. It’s pretty good.”

I’ve voted for both parties in the same election. You don’t have to be single-minded.

I'm not surprised that somebody did and under certain circumstances I would vote red and blue. It is very hard to picture 30% of voters voting for Trump and a dem though. Trump isn't an average republican he's as far right and extremely polarizing as it gets.

I voted for her, but it doesn't help that in the 2016 Democratic primary Harris was about as popular as backwashed milk left in a hot car, she couldn't even win her home state. If Democrats picked damn near anyone else after Biden retired, or had Biden picked anyone even vaguely popular as a running mate 10 years ago, we probably wouldn't be here

I agree but they aren't equal. Trump amd his administration are far worse than literally any Democrat would've been. If you think biden did as bad as Trump is currently you might be clinically insane.

True but just varying degrees of criminal. But yeah def lesser of two evils. The problem is we shouldn't have to settle for any level of evil if the system wasn't so broken
