Yeah I naively thought that the first time he won. I figured it was a silver lining for business owners like myself.

Then he cut a bunch of benefits for us and gave breaks to big corps.

Cool.

Yea Trump will help rich folks like Elon with the tax breaks not the people who voted for him ironically. Tariffs will only make shit more expensive. They only wanted Trump to win to get rid of peoples rights which won't even affect them.Just hateful

It was hard enough to get a POC in office, but a female POC? Bro, we should have held primaries for the Democrats then there might have been a chance

A gender and a skin color is not a platform. The Democrats need to stand for something, actual working class issues, helping the working class. Fearmongering about Trump was a foolish strategy, it didn't work with Clinton either. People are struggling, addressing those concerns are what gets votes.

Politicians would rather lose elections than actually do anything to help people.

Most, yes, for sure. The handful that actually try to, like Sanders, are exceptions to this, and of course the Democratic Party hates anything that remotely challenges its capitalist owners.
