This is TERRIBLE Strategy! Spending Taxdollars on Rich people is GOOD! Spending Taxdollars on Poor people is HORRIBLE AND LIFE ENDING!

-DNC Strategists!

It’s going to start trickling down any day now.

Why does it taste like pee?

Don't ask.

Traditionally, it tastes like horse shit.

Nah. If the DNC thinks a Cuomo or Harris or other right-winger is electable, they will ratfuck progressives.

You literally just said "Don't vote DNC" which makes you, whether you want to or not, an advocate of the GOP. People like you are the reason we are in this mess.

In 2026 and 2028 your options will be GOP or DNC, and no matter where the DNC candidate lands on the spectrum they are progressive from where we are now and they are better than the GOP.

K. Still not voting Newsom or any other republican-lite.

Don't you see?

Paying for buses for ILLEGAL ALIEN IMMIGRANTS doesn't make money trickle down! When you "invest" money into poor people, they'll just waste it! Money they don't spend on the bus ride, they'll spend on one more grocery at Walmart, which is INCONSEQUENTIAL FOR THE ECONOMY!

When you INVEST into products and services, that person will HIMSELF INVEST into buying what he needs. That makes money TRICKLE! Do you KNOW where our CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY WOULD BE WITHOUT ELON?!

So close! Instead of spending it on Walmart, in your text they should be spending it on booze and drugs. Then it's Republican-speak at its finest ;-)
