    I dunno man, I was gonna try to use the $25,000 down payment assistance to buy a duplex but now instead I’ll be paying out the ass for everything because of those fucking tarrifs. The only thing Trump did for the working class was insult them with his pathetic McDonald’s stunt, and then clumsily climbed into the passenger side of a garbage truck to show off what a pile of garbage he is.

      pathetic McDonald’s stunt

      but it worked. the stunt worked.
      i am just amazed democrats couldnt come up with similar thing.

      FFS - kamala could have setup a lemonade stand near some factory and talked to workers.
      She could have worked in a soup kitchen one day and do small talk with homeless people - media would eat that up.

      or offer some new policies from Bernie playbook - like mandatory vacations and single payer medical.

      instead - all we got was complete and utter lack of initiative. lazy ass dem leadership is completely useless

        Raising a billion dollars in a matter of months and then pissing it away just as quickly, so you can lose in a landslide, with nothing material left behind that anyone might have been proud of.

        We do it every couple of years, and it always feels like such a fucking waste.

          I’ve been waiting since quite some time before the election for you to tell me which of the four options Hoosiers should have voted for in 2024.

          Weird that you won’t answer.

          Maybe you forgot the options and the fact that candidates have to declare themselves as write-ins, but no one did so that was not an option.

          Here they are:

          I’m sure you’ll answer this time and not look like you’ve been here dishonestly, in bad faith for months.

            Vote Your Conscience. Unfortunately, the only person on the list who isn’t genocidal appears to be Chase Oliver.

            Weird that you won’t answer.

            Weird you didn’t ask until after the election.

              Got it. You think that people should vote for a person who was to the right of Trump that wants to dismantle the whole safety net. So I guess we all know where you stand politically now.

              Weird you didn’t ask until after the election.

              That is a lie. I asked you multiple times before the election.

              But then I guess lying is the stock and trade of the far right.

                  Tell me you don’t know what a libertarian is without telling me you don’t know what a libertarian is.

                  Just FYI, privatizing everything is not to the left of Obama.

                  Of course, you know that and are trying to save face now that we all know you’re far-right.

      $25,000

      that was a fraud proposal. dems would have never been able to pass it and they know it.
      just like student loans - it would have been killed in congress or senate.
      The idea behind such proposals - is then democrats could just blame republicans “see - we tried it, but those GOP mean sunova removed”.
      but dont even worry about it. kamala or not - you would have never seen this money.
