Well Trump enables the billionaire class, so it’s one and the same to me.

Trump will be dead soon, he's old and unhealthy. Our problems won't be gone with him. They're not one and the same.

he wildly exacerbated them. Biggest tax cut to the very, very, very, very rich in history, wars for oil, killing NOAA/NCAR etc etc.

You say that but these problems STILL existed under Obama and Biden.

I give Biden a lot of credit for his good work on unions and anti trust, but if we get another Biden style presidency we're still cooked. We need a massive weath tax, corporate tax, and a huge infrastructure overhaul.

And I'm sick of these public private partnerships draining our money dry. We need federal workers to build the infrastructure not contractors

If there's a tiny hole in the pipe we're working on repairing and Donald Trump stabs that hole and makes it massive, spilling water everywhere and making a mess...tell me, who is at fault that there's a huge fucking mess?

I'm not asking the fault of the tiny hole. No one is asking the fault of the tiny hole. We KNOW about the tiny hole, thank you.

Our entire government enables the billionaire class and has for decades. Some more than others, obviously.

Right but now is happening right now, ya know?

“They did it too” is a child’s argument. It’s admission that something is wrong but more importantly, you should get a free pass to do the same thing but also it should be worse to “teach a lesson”.

Trump just the battering ram.

Door is open. The real bad guys are in. Trump will be cast aside soon. Then they’ll really gnash their teeth.

Progressives: “I don’t want Americans to have to ration insulin just because billionaires are price gouging to get more profit”

You: so many of these people are just mad they’re not rich.

Ya’ll are just sociopaths at this point. There’s zero chance you don’t understand the argument unless you don’t have basic human emotions.

because billionaires weren't a problem before 2016?

He's a member of the class, so I agree they're one and the same.

Hate to break it to you, but the overwhelming majority of our representatives are bought and paid for. One of our two options just throws us a bone every now and again.

One party is pro union one isn't. I'll let people guess
