Pretty sure the Democrats also had a platform of helping small businesses? Like those still exist.
They will string together a lot of sentences about how they want to help small businesses but none of them will be ambitious structural changes with long term effects. We’re talking tax credits and incentive programs that will be on for a year. Big whoop. Want to help small businesses? Give them a healthy, stable workforce that don’t need their employer to buy them health insurance, and a good public transportation system to get them to work on time. Give them a workforce that aren’t sleeping in their cars and self medicating to deal with it all.
The Democrats have a platform of saying that want to help small business, in fact they steal from small businesses to give to Big Business, same as the republicans, although a little bit less.
Steeply progressive tax rates on business profits would accomplish a lot. As long as all forms of income are taxed equally. We have to see the end to people like Musk paying a near-zero tax rate.
Also billionaires delenda est.
Yeah that person is speaking emotionally not truthfully. Kamala ran on a first time homebuyer credit to help out the enormous swath of millennials and Gen z that have been priced out of taking part in the economy in a meaningful way, just as a single example that is top of mind. Im sure a quick Google would reveal a bullet list.
Which would be means tested to uselessness, as is the typical approach every time the Dem leadership wants to appear to help regular people without upsetting their owner donors too much.
Fixed it for you.
Due to almost universally bipartisan legislation and lack of regulations.
Sure. A quick Google would reveal a lot of things.
Most of the top results would be heavily distorted if not outright fabrication in favor of the billionaire-owned media whitewashing of the pro-Israel and pro-billionaire politics of both major parties, though.
The result of that policy would be an increase in property prices equal to or more than the amount of the incentive.
Plenty of deep blue state governors who could do this if the Democratic party had any intention of solving the cost of living crisis. It's empty promises.
Anyway it's a moot point. Harris was a trash candidate. Registered Democratic voters made it very clear they never wanted her to run in the general election. Not that it was her fault she ended up in that position. Biden was hot garbage and anyone who voted for him in the 2020 primaries is an asshole.
Your rebuttal is nonsensical. She had every opportunity to distinguish herself, and ample resources to get her message across.
SHE FAILED!
We had a vote, and she lost, to a horrific pustule of a human being. There is no greater indictment of her than that. She a clean shot and she missed completely.
Rebuttal? The actual fuck are you talking about.
I just stated a fact. I said nothing of her winning, I...
You know what, I'd prefer you don't respond, actually. Go have the life I know you'll have.
Ooh, a block button! ✌️
Dude, you threw the first turd. Don't play innocent with me.
"Yeah that person is speaking emotionally not truthfully."
That is what we call a fact, my guy.
Back to the block list forever. 🥂
No, that is called a supposition.
Her loss and her failure are facts.
Save it for an audience that doesn't know any better. We all know Kamala was a neoliberal hack that was annointed and not even nominated by voters with four plus months to go, for the majority of this country's history the Presidential nominee was not chosen until late August.
But you needed that time to fundraise, how did that workout for you? And you are blaming us? We all knew she couldn't win and you nominated her anyway.
