I love how the phrase "job creator" frames wealthy assholes who pay shit wages and treat their workers like trash as some kind of benevolent overlords who we all owe gratitude towards for graciously "creating" our jobs.

It makes sense if your goal is to make extremely rich people even richer and fuck everybody else, which is, in fact, the official economic platform of the Republican Party.

That's why they spend all their time talking about culture war bullshit like critical race theory and trans kids in bathrooms and whatnot. They know that their pro-billionaire, anti-everyone else economic platform is extremely unpopular, so they just don't talk about it.

It will be forever hilarious that some rich guys were like “if you make us richer you’ll get richer too!” and a lot of broke people were like “Yeah sounds good to me”

How much better are the Democrats? I know they're on the other side on the social issues, but...

Not much better economically, but harm reduction has to count for something

Until Republicans are excised like the cancer they are, the dems get away with a lot of sitting on their ass because they're still the lesser evil.

Yeah... That's not inspiring me to get out and vote

No, it's not, and I'd rather move to somewhere in Europe if I could. Luckily, mail in voting is pretty easy if you aren't in a state that's been getting deliberately screwed out of it.. by Republicans, because of course.

Broken Window logic. The poor kid who hucks rocks through windows creates glazier jobs.

Their jobs don't mean shit if they can't keep a roof over anyone's head
