    I get the sneaking suspicion that all the “but both parties are the same people” are going to end up kind of right – but maybe not in the way they thought.

    From my vantage point, there is only rich vs poor. Any other ideological divide either a) has been worsened by rich vs poor, or b) was invented to keep attention away from rich vs poor, à la divide and conquer.

      The current tax plan was written by republicans in Trump’s first term and expires in 2026.

      Kamala Harris’ tax plan was to tax the rich.

      Trump’s tax plan is to stop taxing the rich while he attempts to reduce deficit by removing 70 Million American’s healthcare coverage.

      There is no “both parties” about this, people just keep choosing the obviously worse party.

      I’ve been screaming this for a while now. It’s the 99% VS the 1%. Funny how they can control us with such a small percentage.

      Lol. “Kind of right”. Rich vs poor. Yeah. Same thing dude. Most dems and Republicans get more money while in office. Not 2 times or 3 times. No hundreds of thousand or more. There are a few better than the rest but all of our politicians who can make waves are owned by an outside party with an agenda.

      OSCAR W. UNDERWOOD (Nov 8th, 1964) – Senator Underwood was a top contender for the Democrat presidential nomination in 1924. However, he obeyed his conscience by speaking out against the Ku Klux Klan, one of the Democrat Party’s most powerful forces.

      His courageous stand cost him the presidential nomination and then his senate seat
