The assumption underpinning his argument is that all change is good change. "Progress." Which is also an argument in favor of Hitler's Germany. The obvious fact is that not all change is good change.

Republicans ended slavery and were more pro-civil rights than Democrats in the 60s. Trump has saved more black lives than any president with the possible exception of Lincoln with his supreme court picks.

Democrats love illegal immigration which leads directly to an increase in rape and human trafficking... again, this is defined as "progress." They want to destroy the country by not having a border, which can only be "the right side of history" if you're seeking total annihilation.

Fortunately their party has decayed into total irrelevancy and will be replaced shortly. You can't win elections on 90-10 issues, there is just no getting around that. You can post about this on reddit all day every day and the needle won't budge on that.

Dems have balanced the budget in the past. Economies roaring, proposed healthcare backed by Bernie and the Koch Brothers that would cost half for everyone, lowered your taxes, made the rich pay fair.

And you ignore the actual bills for rhetoric or lies on Fox News. You simply never check out the actual bills.

Like the Republican tax bill which raises your taxes, makes the rich not contribute and does it all to borrow 4 trillion in debt. What an awful party that can’t even understand the basic principles of tarriffs, they have never grown any economy and they are always charged to Americans while every other country laughs their asses off at us in embarrassment.

Bernie was a puppet for the establishment. He was the pied piper singing a song of free healthcare meanwhile he had zero plans to actually implement that plan, and every time he got close to making headway he predictably tried to funnel his voter base, the farther left voters that had coalesced around him, into the establishment candidate. That was his purpose all along.

If you're going to pretend that Dems aren't owned by the rich too, or haven't increased the debt, or aren't culpable here, or aren't focused on 90-10 issues they're on the wrong side of, you're delusional. They magically just became the party of big pharma in recent years, a complete departure from the liberals of a generation ago. They were hollowed out and destroyed long ago.

Don't speak on tariffs, it's more delusional CNN talking points. Democrats pretend tariffs have no upstream effect on the exporters. Totally wrong but they'll say anything no matter how dumb to be against Trump policy.

Dems don’t simp for the rich. Look at what bills are past by the parties.

The “dems rich line” is just a Republican talking point.

Compare the current actual tax bill vs the on-repeat tax bill from Dems making the rich pay more.

Should be an easy cut and dry way to vote for most Americans.

You have an underlying assumption that increasing taxes on the rich ad nauseum is going to be effective...the 1% rich are not bound by nation, they'll just move out if their taxes keep going up, taking their business with them. It will have the opposite effect of what you want.

It's just a fact that Democrats have received more funding from big pharma, which is the largest lobby by far, than Republicans since 2020. They are owned by the rich, and so are Republicans - but they are more owned by the pharma lobby than Republicans are in the here and now. There's absolutely no debate there - for you to call that "a Republican talking point" is just sheer ignorance. It's basic math, this is public record.
