It's Joever for the Democrats no lie. I know polls are still pretty even and something could happen to give them a shot in the arm but honestly all the videos I've been watching and conversations I've been having IRL are just pointing to a complete anti-Democrat vibe. Watching a few videos that are saying the same thing and it could just be algorithm bias but idk. I don't even mean just for 2024 election like long term this party is fucked. I used to think they were going to be bent over and moved out of the way by the Republicans (consequently establishing a further fascist government) because Dems are spineless but they're actually doing such a terrible job that they're going to get voted out and allow the Republicans to further fascist-ize the US if that's even possible.

I'm low-key here for it, going to be interesting but I'm very scared for marginalized people and the proleys in general.

Eh, I wouldn't say Republicans are better at that. They're just marginally better at distracting and downplaying.

This basically. They definitely protect big business and privatization, sprinkled in with some reactionary patriotic bullshit and that's them in a nutshell

republicans cut the corporate tax rate from 35 to 20 percent

It was temporary, and it's gone back up so that they can do it again. They're smart at playing their benefactors in the long game.

The corporate tax cuts are permanent I just looked it up :/

[–] ComradeSalad@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 10 months ago

The 2024 congressional budget will set the tax rate to 28%, not much, but at least better then now.
