Absolutely not. Burn the whole thing to the ground.
Oh shit, things are significantly worse now.
Maybe if we continue to refuse to support the progressive party in protest then things won't get significantly worse again next time? /s
There is no progressive party. We have two parties doing their best to support billionaires.
The DNC sure do audit and tax Billionaires a lot for their supposed supporters.
No, they really don't. They throw more money at customer service but they definitely don't audit more and leadership knows that.
Lmao
They audited less than 40 times fewer than smaller businesses? You realize that small businesses and billionnaires don't exist at the same scale, right?
Heres my evidence, the Biden administration increased federal revenue, and at the same time the rate of audits for those who made less than $500,000 declined.
What?
I think you misread the article or I am having a hard time parsing the meaning of that sentence.
During the 5 year gap from 2019 to 2024 they only flagged 22 ultra wealthy companies cases vs 848 flags for small companies and that doesn't mean a full audit was done just referred. And that's the 40 times fewer, the number of flagged criminal referrals.
I really don't think you read that. I think you really are looking for bias confirming items and even gloss over presented data.
Take a second and breath and think that it might be ok to progress your views beyond what you already think you know.
Or please point out to me your evidence?
Typo on my part, missing the word Times.
I think auditing the ultrawealthy is great idk why you're so opposed to it.
You are making up a stance that I don't have to think you are controlling the conversation.
Also, adding times did not make your position any more clear. Please clarify your evidence and what you are taking away from that article.
I guess you have reading comprehension issues, sorry.
And you have a problem resulting to insults when you are not being understood rather than trying harder to communicate.
What progressive party?
The DNC
HA
Oh boy shortest standup routine to get me to laugh that hard.
Thank you for being exhibit A in my argument, you're doing great to make my point for me.
Me laughing proves the DNC is a progressive party? I don't think that logic is very robust.
I think it makes you feel more confident in disregarding the arguments of others which is the point you want to conclude but it's unrelated to your previous point and that's searching for evidence to back your preconceived notion which is also bad science.
Plus this isn't science or a polling sample it's a conversation.
So much wrong with how you interact with others.
It proves that people would rather stoke flames than support a progressive party.
The dem socialists are progressive. The DNC is right wing
The DNC are right wing for such conservative ideas as:
The dnc choke on billionaire cock bro
Well the Republicans wrote the tax bill for 2016 to 2026, we gave the DNC 50 or less seats every year since, so theres not much to go on but the Biden admin did increase audits on the ultrawealthy and increased revenue substantially.
Also pretty much every DNC has held the stance of overturn Citizens United since it first happened.
And how are they progressive? What progressive things have thsy done recently? What progressive things do they stand for?
Or are thry progressive because the]re progressive?
Taxing the Rich, Expanding Healthcare coverage to everyone, regulating businesses for health and safety, guaranteeing liveable wages and sick days, removing money from politics.
You know who endorses the DNC candidates in almosy every race? Bernie Sanders. Listen to Bernie.

The best thing they did on that in my lifetime was just ripping off mitt romney
Citation needed
Even if its all true (doubt) thats not progressive; it's moderate
Why? Is he my dad now?
An Anti-Bernie and Pro-Romney "progressive" lmfao
Best reading comprehension. Butbi guess thats why you simp the midwives of fascism.
You appear to be one of those, actually. Odd how projection works.
Yes, BUT, we gotta get those conservative fuckers out first. Baby steps.
That’s been the game. Back and forth political theater. A vote for a billionaire bootlicker is a vote against the working class.
Alright. Were you still planning on casting a vote (write in "None" or something) or were you kust planning on decreasing your voting demographics influence?
I’ll be voting for socialists. My votes will no longer go towards the people that actively work against the working class. The two right winger parties in this hell hole can go fuck themselves.
Same, and it's a shame that the Dems can't fail hard enough to get the ideologues to do anything differently.
As long as you're voting.
