egg prices probably slipped their mind what with all the other shit going on like mass firings and department of education being shut down and benefits at risk of being cut off due to staff issues and no more phone services among other things lol
If the people currently in power move too far beyond egg prices, they're going to have to come up with answers for a whole lot of other things they aren't too comfortable discussing like how we got here in the first place.
I still don’t buy avoiding the shut down was so Republicans can’t blame Democrats. The republicans run the joint. I can’t see messaging “we demanded the end to Musk destruction of the government and they refused.”
Or trans people existing. I they should be mad that a whole class of people are under existential threat! But the idea that “boys in girls sports” is people’s number one issue and thing that Democrats should cave on immediately seems pretty quaint now.
ooooh don't say the name Sanders, though. Bluemaga will burn the whole thing down and hand it to Trump before they support Sanders' policies. They've said so themselves.
And they call Sanders' supporters the crazy ones...
It's done and it's over
I'm not spending any more time on it and I'm sure the Bernie Bro's aren't either. He is speaking truth to power and it is what we SEE that matters. We aren't seeing a whole lot of nuthin'. Bernie et al can speak all they want. I'm positive that's what the Bernie Bro's think
That's so true.. like 'what, do 'politics'? Crazy idea...' I'd like to think the point of the blue team was to reflect the concerns of their voters, and maybe even try to... gosh, I dunno... 'alleviate' such things via good governance...
Actually I think they like that part too. They want the same stripping of functions and resources from the federal government, and they want someone else to do it, so they can get it done while campaigning on how unpopular it is
The commonwealth of of Massachusetts needs to get revenge on South Carolina for that canning they took before the civil war. I’m pretty sure Elizabeth Warren could kick Lindsay Graham’s ass.
The 2020 George Floyd protests come to mind. “Oh wow, the American people just spontaneously erupted in the largest protests in American history, on one of our party’s longest-standing issue areas. Better shut that down!”
I am convinced one of the main purposes of the Democratic Party is to take popular sentiment, channel it exclusively into Democratic electoral politics, and thus destroy it as a movement. It call it "deflation theory." And have seen it happen over and over.
What’s so shocking is you’d think all these power hungry freaks would take the opportunity but turns out they’re all just a bunch of cowards who just want to go to fancy dinners in DC.
Watching the Dems operate in this moment is like watching Trent and Sue try to convince Mike to go talk to the girl at the bar over and over and over again but instead of that he pees himself every time
I’m joining the fight in my tiny red town in Florida. I’ll be working with the local Dem office doing all sorts of fun things with social media. We’re outnumbered here but that doesn’t mean we can’t be heard!
I legit think that members of Congress are typically insulated from their voters. Most people don't really show up at these town halls. Most people never think to write their Rep or Senator.
Until now. And they just are not prepared to deal with being asked to Do Stuff.
The obvious answer at this point is kompromat, right? It sounds crazy, but is less crazy than these pols actually being to dumb to understand the words people are yelling at them.
Big money donors and outside spending that make Dem politicians less accountable to the voters and more accountable to GOP-aligned business interests. Way more plausible than Russians having sex tapes of every Congress member or whatever
Glenn Ivey, to be fair, is the first Dem Congressman to publicly call on Schumer to stop aside. It took some yelling but he got it. It just takes more yelling to get the rest on board.
Politicians are all narcissists. If they remove Schumer as leader now, it would mean admitting they made a mistake, and they absolutely cannot do that.
Yay, sleepy Americans are FINALLY at the "Hey, something's not right so I'll put down the video game stick + the Dunkin iced latte for a minute to get upset over something that the crazy lib tried to warn me about & it has NOW directly affected my life & I've magically started to understand."
The DParty's role in the US politics is to kill grassroots movements, to promise just enough to keep people from rioting. This is what they're doing right now. Again, they've got the slowest pitch in the world with the easiest win and they're not even swinging. They don't think we'll do anything.
But even the conservative townhall attendees are pissed about Elon and demanding their reps do something material to address him. Not sure it’s making a difference, but at least we can say that the majority of people in the US are aligned in their disapproval of him!
I think people mistake the reasons people start to get mad for the reasons people are currently mad. Like sure they started angry at eggs but then that anger made them look at stuff more and notice all the crazy shit.
When i am mad at something i dont just fucking drop it completely and act as if i didnt care in the first place. Trump votes are lying pieces of shit that would complain about queer in public but then cry if their family is victims of homophobia. They are worms.
They made a conscious choice to tolerate a brutally racist, sexist and transphobic campaign that violated democratic values in multiple ways. My thinking is that if one is not a fascist, one would reject such a campaign. Fascists elect fascists. Houston we have a problem.
There are definitely bigger things happening every day as our government is dismantled for the profit of the elite. But if egg prices is the trigger for R voters to see the lies and hold their elected officials accountable, then it’s not as trivial as it seems.
Odd isn’t it? Like that was why they voted for him. To bring the prices down for them. Instead they are told merica is giving away money to other countries so it looks like the world is angry about the US bank closing. Even though the money they were giving was back pay for the wars they started.
When they talk about the issues “every day Americans care about”, they’re specifically referring to the cartoonish depiction of a white man in a hard hat and steel lunchbox standing around a construction site and nobody else.
It was never about the price of eggs, it eas about sticking it to the Dems, and now finally they're realizing they stuck it to the themselves most of all...Red States count on handouts more than anyone else
It also seems like the livids at many town halls are a day late and a dollar short.
This era has convinced me that most Americans are not people I want to share a republic and soil with.
It was never about the eggs. That was the media and the politicos latching on to a simplistic explanation. Further proof that they think we are all idiots on both sides of the spectrum.

It looks like bankruptcy comes before both eggs and ss.
And they call Sanders' supporters the crazy ones...
At least we can all agree that Schumer has to go.
I'm not spending any more time on it and I'm sure the Bernie Bro's aren't either. He is speaking truth to power and it is what we SEE that matters. We aren't seeing a whole lot of nuthin'. Bernie et al can speak all they want. I'm positive that's what the Bernie Bro's think
And his rabid anti-immigration rhetoric.
Until and unless that changes, none of them are serious.

Trump Took EGG

You'll know they're really pissed off veterans when the ushers flee the town halls...
Eggs are the least of our problems.
They get it. We get it. The rest of the world gets it.
