• Housing
  • Student Loans
  • Medical Care
  • Child care/The cost of children (assuming that's something you want to do not making a value judgement)
  • Education
  • Wages/"JOBS™©®"/"THE ECONOMY™©®"
  • Inflation/Cost of Living/Value of currency
  • Just the political issues we all face but are the best "hot button" issues

All that sort of stuff. I'm not minimizing stuff like Palestine of course, but I don't recall in the seemingly endless 2020-2024 election campaign. I don't really think I heard any sort of real "kitchen table issues". I feel like even the most basic political issues have been obfuscated or ignored. It feels like these very political issues have been removed from the sphere of political discourse.

I don't know what my larger point is, but it feels strange to think that for example I haven't heard a single mention of something like higher education costs for example. This isn’t just a dunk on Democrats either, though it is worth saying “get fucked losers”, but I think since about 2020 I haven’t heard a damn thing about healthcare or housing in a real political way from the big two or the media in general.

Again this isn't to meant to minimize any other real problems either, not trying to "this is more important than that", just saying I haven't political people talk about politics all the while not being able to escape the political dimension

      That's vile. I can't imagine thinking it's cool to dunk on others that are struggling. That's the sort of lowbrow shit they hate about their supposed opposition

        They frame it as mocking trump supporters but what they really show is that they've never had to worry about where their next meal is coming from

          God I’m going to be so fucking happy when the Dems get shit on during midterms.

          Shoutout to the time I told PugJesus I was going to be so fucking happy when they lose… and then they did 😂.

          Weird how leftist theory always proves itself correct.
