At face value, that’s not unreasonable…Except which positions are you talking about? Because they’re often at odds with each other

Well, being unclear about your position is one of the shitty strategies.
But give me an example.

Broad student debt relief

Forcing small privately held businesses to comply with DEI initiatives that the owners don’t believe in

A zero-sum energy agenda that is well-intentioned, but often at odds with science and economics

Take your pick

Well, the first I can get on board on, and the other two are well-intentioned, poorly executed policies. I suspect I don't really agree that small, private businesses were ever forced to incorporate DEI incentives, but I'll admit, I haven't really dug into that. I support incentivizing DEI incentives and clean energy, which I see as the Democratic platform.

Isn’t that both parties

I have no solution here. Biden fucked this issue in every way possible.
But no matter how shitty he was at this, the Palestinian people will do worse under Trump.

Empathy would not be in my top 5 guesses.

We got a bonafide Minister of Truth over here.

Harris took over 1 billion in campaign funding. If she had won and Bezos and musk and Zuckerberg had been at her inauguration, it wouldn’t feel so transactional and seedy. Or as dangerous. When it would have in reality been all the same thing.
Whatever you attribute to Trumps ascendancy a second time, how much can you blame democrats actions/inaction for it? Whatever the answer, it’s time for them to get their act together now and construct a response. He’s not going to be able to deliver on any of the big promises on bread and butter issues like inflation, especially not while getting into tariff wars with neighbours and allies. So start there. In two years ordinary Americans are going to be really feeling it at the supermarket checkout and gas pump. Far more than now. Get out ahead on that and make it clear it’s down to him.

And whatever about oligarchy what do the tech bros actually want? Does anyone know? Tunis taken their massive donations, they think they have a seat at the table now. What else can they give him that he wants?
I’d be far more concerned about trumps supercharged kleptocracy 2.0. Who launches a crypto currency a day before taking office? He does. Slashing funding across all sorts of government departments, research and international funding (except Israel’s of course)

Where is all the money being ‘saved’ going exactly? Has anyone asked him?

And the morons who wouldn’t back Harris owing to Bidens stance on Israel which she was nowhere to be seen on by my reading of her, Trump wants Gaza cleared and condos and casinos everywhere. Just with no Palestinians in it.

“Trump also confirmed he had lifted a Biden-era hold on the provision of 2,000-pound bombs for Israel.
“We released them today and they’ll have them. They paid for them and they’ve been waiting for them for a long time,” he told reporters.”

Trump suggests his plan for Gaza Strip is to ‘clean out the whole thing’

He talks a lot, and little is done. So it likely won’t happen.

The man who wants to deport millions of people from the states, is going to ask the Arab states to take on a million refugee immigrants, That the US had the main hand in creating.
You couldn’t make this shit up

He sure is good at smoking scared white men out in the open though.
