The main thing most people don’t want to return to is lockdowns, which they blame on Democrats. They think the pandemic is over. They also got some cash money in 2000, and they credit Trump for that.
American Airlines would go insta busto - and then we’d just bail them out again.
That’s just good, simple politics that most bought and paid for Dems can’t engage in because their corporate overlords don’t want the precedent of big fines for lying to customers.
It signals he’ll stand up to corporations, it resonates with anyone who has been screwed by an airline recently, and it pisses off ~nobody who’s a voter, except the handful of CEOs who live in Pennsylvania.
If I were a politician, one of my big issues would be no more bailouts without equity. You want a bailout from Uncle Sam? Fine, we own your ass. Give us shares, we’ll sell them back to you at the market rate in the future or sell them on the open market at a time of our choosing. You don’t like it? Go cut a deal with Warren Buffett then, asshole.
It sucks that Fetterman has the life expectancy of the bananas I bought from Kroger yesterday.
Isn’t that what the government did with GM under Obama?
That’s socialism bro. We can’t do that. You know what’s not socialism though? Giving private companies taxpayer money anyway, so they can privatize the profits. Clearly that’s a much better outcome… for eDems.
The eDems assure us that they have consulted with Industry Experts and giving corporations more money will fix the consumer experience, according to Industry Experts, who we will just assume are not actually corporate lobbyists and corporate insiders that work for corporations. I mean, what are the odds of that?
That’s appropriate, because after I donated to him I got hounded.

I misread the senate poll and almost threw my lunch at the wall
The Rs are going to win in 24, change all voting laws to lock themselves in for life, and then deport anybody with a hispanic last name, citizen or not, and we will hear a lot of “Oh god, why leopards, why?”
JFC. What kind of country allows this kind of shit. I’m sending you a check right now!
Is there any other country on earth that allows this kind of shit?
Feels very much like they’re all in on it.
Considering he might be one of the only TX dems with a shot at a senate seat, yeah count me in too.
Sounds like Pelosi has BIG PLANS! Someone tell her to let Harris know what they are.
