Hey, I voted for Bernie and really wanted him to win, but the Bernie or Bust mentality is how we ended up with Trump so… falls right into Russian propoganda reasoning.

This thread exemplifies the little naive echo chamber you”Biden needs to step down” people are in. There’s no scenario where any other candidate can do better this late in the election. This is “Bernie or Bust” all over again.
Interestingly, many of the talking points have shifted from “Genocide Joe” to this. Nothing more than the next wave of disinformation joined by a bunch of naive people who don’t know how far off their opinions are from the rest of the country.
No, but if it’s a new account that just joined to defend Trump and project 2025, then yes, you’re a troll. 🌻🌻
Russian troll. Go plant sunflowers!
Not sure what choice has to do with what I was saying. Of course those are choices, but my point was that there are certain inflection points with income where post-tax income can actually go down.
There are other deductions that no longer come into play after a certain income. If I recall correctly, mortgage interest, child tax credits, and some medical deductions.
Problem is that the Uber wealthy have all sorts of extra tax vehicles that even the 400k/year income folks don’t have. With various holding companies owning the various assets you use (e.g your car, house, etc.) your on-paper income can be quite a bit lower. Throw in various deductions and that’s how you get super wealthy people paying less taxes than “regular” people. Progressive tax rates already exist, and while this increases the percentage at these incomes, unless it addresses all the other loopholes, this will conveniently miss the 1% and instead impact high earning professionals.
In the US you could absolutely fall into a new range where certain deductions no longer apply, so you could make that extra little bit of income, then lose out on deductions totaling more than your increased income.
It’s not as simple as the progressive tax brackets look at first glance.
Most current resistance is coming from religious focused Republicans.
Yep, that’s on brand for sure.
How the hell does California, a relatively progressive state compared to many of the other US ones, still allow child marriages? I’m sure it’s those pockets of deep red outside the big cities.
You can’t even answer a direct question about who. You gnash your teeth and wish upon a star that a magic unicorn will come down and wave their wand.
Get real and stop wasting peoples energy and time with useless “what if” crap.
You’re completely naive if you don’t think it’s going to be Biden vs Trump. Anything other than a vote for Biden in November helps Trump, which is what I’m going to assume you want since you are being so elusive and obtuse.
Yeah? Who? Who has a better chance than Biden this late into the cycle. Did you just wake up now, or have you been supporting other local candidates years ago?
Want more progressive candidate? Start local and start early.
You’re a one note clown. Keep sowing disinformation and all your calls to vote 3rd party just show what a fool you are.
Better typing online than planting sunflowers eh?
Apple Maps sure had a rough start back in the day, but I will always use that over Google/Waze. It’s just so much better now and no worries about this type of junk.
Were there better candidates than Biden? Absolutely. Can we realistically expect any of them to jump in now and have a chance of winning? Absolutely not.
There’s a big difference, especially when you look at the realities of the situation. If you don’t believe me, name a candidate that would have a stronger chance than Biden now.
Come November, when it’s between Biden and Trump, any vote not going to Biden is helping fascisim.
You’re right, not just Russian Trolls, but wannabe fascists and naive fools here in the US. Anyone who doesn’t see the absolute disaster that Trump will be, and instead “BoTh SiDeS” things or uses “GeNoCiDe JoE” is just an absolute fool.
So is this the new Russian disinformation strategy? We loved on from Genocide Joe to let’s switch out. Iden?
Not going to happen, and I doubt any other candidate could do better at this point of the election cycle.
I already see our local Russian trolls spouting this bullshit.
No, not Biden, the USA. Where’s your critical commentary against the GOP who overwhelmingly supports Israel’s actions? Your one note anti-Biden posts are tiring.
Go plant some sunflowers.
Those “progressives” are either Republicans under a different flag, or complete morons who won’t vote Biden when the choice is Biden or Trump.
Come November, if the choice is Biden or Trump, anyone not voting for Biden is helping Trump. Plain and simple.
Oh look, this same clown account. Go plant some sunflowers vlad.
