    People: We appreciate the Democratic party for helping the minorities and lgbt to have a voice and civil liberties, but there is more to it than life. Can you help us alleviate from economic pressure of inflation, housing costs, medical bills and college debt?

    Democrats: Best I can do is identity politics.

        Democrats: You will be happy with the breadcrumbs that we rich me and my oligarch boss give, or those people will deport you.

        Now that I think about it, Democrats are basically threatening people to vote for them or they will be deported. Not saying the quiet part out loud.

            Democrats: WE WILL NOT HELP THE PEOPLE LIVING PAY CHECK TO PAY CHECK! WE WOULD RATHER ENABLE FASCISTS GET INTO POWER THAN LOSE OUR CORPORATE DONATIONS! YOU WILL VOTE FOR US OR YOU WILL BE DEPORTED BY OUR COLLEAGUES ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE!

            Well, ever since Chuck Schumer allowed much of the Republican budget bill to pass without resistance, I haven’t heard more people saying “vote blue no matter who”.

            Just saying.

              so. just to be sure, for us minorities. Be deported to el salvador or pay the same same exact money in taxes and prices as you would with your opposition?

              do you see how dumb this sounds? Do you see why this is so ridiculous?

              Hey! let me cut your balls off! the other guy will do it anyways (but also take the shaft and tip) does this make sense to you? GEE whiz I wonder which side I will choose they are both so similar

                Do you think taxes are the only economic concerns?

                “True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.”- Franklin D. Roosevelt

                If the Democratic Party still thinks we’re still partying in the 1990s at the height of economic boom and neoliberal politics, when the average Americans’ purchasing power was much higher than now and wealth inequality was low, then they need to wake up. The party is over.

                  for white people? yes. once again you guys worry about investments and apparently egg prices. minorities worry about being fucking sent to prison. the parties are not the same.

                    More Latinos and African Americans voted Trump than before.

                    Ultimately, it is down to economic anxiety. The rich co-opt identity issues to manipulate the public to keep fighting amongst themselves. If you can’t see it, you will eventually.
