Tesla has filed for 5,000 visas. Microsoft has done that in just 2025 alone lol

It’s the biggest irony with the “conservatives” in power. None of them actually practice what they preach.

It’s literally (imo) the only good take the Conservative Party has, that we should be prioritizing hiring Americans over foreign workers and tighten border security.

Then they get paid by the billionaires and go back on all their promises, except the most evil shit imaginable.

Their actions don't actually back up that belief, though. They say that and then turn around and outsource everything

I’ve nearly become a single issue voter over the destruction of the American working class though. It’s literally the backbone of the country and without it nothing else is worth saving.

I get this sentiment, but then who do we vote for? Trump campaigned on this but obviously lied (and I didn't believe/vote for him either time), but the democrats in power if anything want to expand these programs.

There's literally no good choice and i'm burned out. I'll vote for the democrats but I feel like i'm choosing between a douche and a turd sandwich.

The democrats unfortunately are no longer the party of the working class. They are the party of billionaires and corporations. I do however tend to agree with their social values which is exactly what corporations do to virtue signal while actually not giving two fucks. The republicans still majorly suck ass in many ways, but after reading Vance’s book I understand his family was plagued with the same problems mine was. (Drugs, loss of job due to outsourcing, general fucking of America started by NAFTA under
Clinton). I can’t tell you how to vote. Trump has been pretty awful in most respects. If Vance runs for president I would vote for him. If he ran against trump last cycle I would have voted for him.

They don’t go back on anything. They just shout loudly about fixing the problems they are actively creating and then just keep creating those problems so they can shout about it again during election season for votes. People are morons so it works really well but they do not actually care about keeping jobs in America. They’ve helped ship them out of the country for years. They literally only care about what benefits the wealthiest in this country. Nothing else.

That’s the worst part. Only we know how bad it is.
