    Oh another morality test for America, the last one was " will you vote for a corrupt rapist who has proven they are bad for the country, or a woman". This one is " knowing exactly how fucked everything you care about will become, will you still vote for it if a corrupt liar says they will give you money that they literally cannot give you"

    Democrats should counter that they’ll pay double whatever the Republicans pledge (min $10k, max $30k), paid entirely by a wealth tax on assets over $1 billion if they win a filibuster-proof supermajority.

    Billionaires actually have enough assets to get to $30.6k per person, so Democrats wouldn’t even have to tax their assets above $1 billion at 100% to get there.

    A promise from the always does lies man!

    Also, you’ve spent that and more on lost savings, higher gas, groceries, restaurants, fucking everything he broke.

    Shoots you in the toe, cuts off both feet and then announces, “if you keep me around, everyone gets a single shoe!”

    And if you’re a loyal cult member all this time, do you have any issue with the gate here? Like… Why isn’t he just giving you $5k today, or for the last election and and all the fascism you enabled? Almost sounds like he’s full of shit and only a moron would believe anything he says.

    I’m sad there are no repercussions. This shouldn’t be allowed. Its not okay. Even saying it isn’t okay.

    Election meddling isn’t okay.

      It’s not ok that politicians on both parties are controlled by corporations. But here we are. Our political system is so bad I’m not even surprised they’d win with this lie

    on the one hand this is stupid, on the other hand he was elected by stupid people, so upon reflection it will probably work as a motivation.
