Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Rhe DNC already increased taxes on the rich under Obama with the 2013 tax plan, Biden increased audits against them, it was in Kamala Harris' campaign as an unrealized gains tax starting at $1M, and it's part of the DNC official policy platform to increase their taxes in a variety of ways: https://democrats.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/2024-Democratic-Party-Platform.pdf
So you can let the GOP and foreign powers push this bullshit bothsides narrative, or you can call their fucking bet and put them in a position where they actually have to follow through.
Deckchairs on the titanic.

So we've established that the RNC has been the anti-tax party since right before Reagan and that the DNC have been responsible for any tax raises in that period. Glad I could help you see the light.
I have never had any doubt that the republicans are worse. That's not news.
But I also don't think the existing DNC and their policies are a solution. Multiple things need to change: the republicans need to be ousted, and the democrats need to be more progressive/socialist/whatever you want to call it. Defending the DNC doesn't help with either of those things. The DNC are unappealing to a large majority of voters (including a lot of progressives, which is a large part of why Harris didn't win).
Ideally the US also implements a more progressive voting system, but that's not really on the cards until the other two conditions are met.
So you yourself cited the DNC being the solution and refuse to believe it? I think we're done here.
Are you intentionally misinterpreting things? Where did I say that?
I don't think it is intentional, just a severe lack of awareness, and as evidenced earlier a complete misunderstanding of what anarchism is.
Look at that dude's name in the modlog before you attribute his antics to stupidity
Idk, that earlier one seemed a lot like willful ignorance to me.. But I appreciate your generous perspective.
Nice jerk circle
Thanks for the confirmation :)
