Cant imagine making 30 k a year and having to pay even 1600 in taxes. This is saying it will increase that much.

    Eh, it’s what the majority of the working class voted for and I’m not going to assume that I know what they need better than they do. The relative effect on my own taxes is fairly small so I’m also not going to object for my own sake.

      30% of American adults voted for trump. Millions didn’t vote because of “feelings”.

      I don’t feel inspired.

      I feel like my vote doesn’t matter.

      It all feels too exhausting.

      I feel cheated out of a primary.

      It feels like Gaza isn’t being prioritized.

        Only the people who voted matter. Those that didn’t were fine with whatever outcome, and can’t even be assumed they would have voted the way people wanted them to anyways. Americans wanted this or at the very least completely fine with it.

        No, people were factually cheated out of a primary, and Gaza factually wasn’t being prioritized. And people told the Democrats for over a year that this would happen, and yet they still made their choices. The Democratic party fucked you, not the voters. For anyone who was paying attention, this isn’t a surprising outcome.
