The goal of American leftwing politics is about ensuring that no one working 40 hours a week lives in poverty.

Absolute garbage. What about cheap college and training a living wage and healthcare like in every other modern country, brainwashed functional moron?

Unconstitutional.

Those irresponsible countries allow immigration. You have plenty of choices. We do not.

That pretty much ends the discussion.

You don’t understand how nutrition works. Getting fat off of the McDonald’s dollar menu drive thru does not mean your nutritional needs are being met.

Preach it, commie.

Learning to cook your own fucking food is way cheaper. And more nutritional. And doesn't require Dem Socialism.

And way to ignore the whole TV and air-conditioning thing.

That's the problem with your Democratic socialists. Everything is relative but you don't see it that way.

You need to immigrate to a Dem Socialist country. They won't shoot you there.

The labor non-participation rate (around 38% for working age Americans) is what is killing the $13-$15 a hour employers.....They can stay home and game the system and make more.

Lol you’re talking about a metric that has been mostly the same for many decades. A metric that’s only decreased in those decades.

United States Labor Force Participation Rate

Labor Force Participation Rate in the United States increased to 62.70 percent in March from 62.50 percent in February of 2024. This page provides the latest reported value for - United States Labor Force Participation Rate - plus previous releases, historical high and low, short-term forecast...

Republicans think leftwing politics in the US is about communism but this is of course ridiculous. Has any democrat in office proposed this or any other solution involving ending capitalism itself? Nope. Not even close. Eliminating the wealthy class is also not on the table. All American lefties want to do is reduce poverty, strengthen the middle class, and making sure that the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes EFFECTIVELY. The EFFECTIVE tax rate is what a class actually pays in taxes. The OFFICIAL tax rate is what they are expected to pay but because of deductions and loopholes, they do not pay that tax rate. Why this concept escapes republicans is beyond my understanding.

Without a doubt both parties have failed to do much of anything when it comes to alleviating poverty, but here’s the difference with democrats: they actually make attempts at the issue. They at least TRY to pass policies that meet this goal such as raising the minimum wage or child tax credits. Hell at least they passed the child tax credit to begin with even if it expired.

What do republicans do for the poor? Absolutely nothing. No attempt. Nada. That goes for the middle class as well. They don’t do jack shit. Doesn’t all of this bother Republican voters? The middle class shrunk and the poor became more poor under Bush and Trump but for some reason that does not bother them.

Of course it is worth mentioning that, historically on average, economic metrics like GDP and job growth are better under democrats than republicans.

Jobs, Income, GDP Growth 'Startlingly' Higher Under Democratic Presidents

Democratic presidents are "more willing to heed historical lessons," but Republicans cling to "magical" tax cuts and deregulation theories during economic downturns, states a new economic analysis.

LOL.....The land whales don't want to cook.

I worked the local food bank on two occasions handing out professionally processed deer meat donated by hunters for the hungry a few of years back.

The land whales and their equally obese kids came in and tore through the limited supply of sweets, chips, and processed food in minutes and turned up their noses at the deer meat.

The only takers were a couple of oldsters that came in.....Of course I loaded them up.

I also noticed that they were the ones that were availing themselves of the produce available and one old lady said she was really looking forward to some deer stew and had picked-up potatoes, carrots, and onions.

Nobody gives a rats fuck what your commie ass has to say so why don't you just shut the fuck up?

I cook 100% of all my food and I only eat one meal a day. Macros are 70% fat, 20% protein, and 5% carb. No dextrose or msg derivatives. No corn products. No grains.

I will bet I am 1000x more fit and nourished than those "poor" (lazy) idiots eating 4000 calories a day on McDonalds, and I get it at 1/5 the cost.

Game. Set. Match.

Fuck off democratic socialists. You lose.
