that's gonna take 1029 months to hit a drumpf check, and you might not even see all that if you got born right now in the US with how fast the life expectancy is dropping

$600 per person is also about 10% of the average annual cost of insurance premiums, not to mention all your other expenses from copays and deductibles that arise from the truly awful health insurance situation democrats continue to defend because they are worthless + going to get destroyed in 2022

$600 per person for 2.7% of the population will surely make a dent in these graphs

Curious how dems always scream about how we must vote, yet studiously ensure they're never in a situation where they can vote. What do they know about voting that we don't? Has a study on potential side effects ever been conducted?

their secret research must tell them that the most they can do is urge you to vote in a general sense - telling people which way to vote or to specifically vote for dems must have some catastrophic consequence only they know about

Serious question, I'm in a deep red state and while this sort of Romney 2012 republican was common up to 2018 or so, they pretty much went extinct in the run up to the election and I've heard nothing from them since. Has anyone spotted one in the Biden era?

Yes, Joe Biden.

Can't wait for them to fundraise off a political failure they created on Roe vs Wade similar to Trump winning the general election.

Can you trade in futures for this kind of thing? Like you know they're going to do it, pretty easy to project what they may make, arbitrage future income against current? I mean I know it's not sportsball but still.

It's especially funny when people ask how voters don't seem to care about abortion/didn't they know electing Trump would get rid of abortion?

If you live in a deep red state, abortion has never been a real issue that factors into anyone's calculus. Me being pro abortion has about as much real impact on politics as me being a communist. Even the Democrats here are anti-abortion.

literally every time i talk to my lib friends they can't believe i don't live in one of the, like, 10 acceptable coastal cities

when i point out even if i wanted to live in them i can't afford it, i get "but i love it here."

okay great find me an apartment in my price range

talking to californians in particular is like talking to a chili peppers song ~hey oh day oh me oh my oh you should move to cal-i-for-nia~

but they sure know what us hicks that live in the sticks need to do to get our lives together

(nevermind that overall i like living in the southeast, weather is nice, good food, cost of living isn't $1500 for a studio or 1BR)

they do get real mad when you point out that if they want to claim they care about black people they can't write off an entire swath of the country that's full of black people

touting a fraction of student loans that have and will be forgiven

touting a tiny fluctuation in gas prices

touting tiny healthcare savings for only a few people

screaming about codifying abortion rights they've had generations to do

He did engage non-engaged voters, but isn't that just because of population growth. Biden got more votes than Trump in 2020, and Trump got more votes than he did in 2016.
