Maybe they can sell their $50,000 worth of bikes to afford the milk.

Seems strange none of the derposphere is screaming at these people to stop spending their money on dumb stuff like they do for actual poor people when they have the audacity to own a cell phone.

Yo, I just paid $0.87 for a gallon of milk. I would have bought 12 in solidarity, but the limit was 2, so I bought 2. $2.79 milk is fake news.

This is capitalism dude. You’re supposed to buy 8 million gallons at 0.87 and sell them to Trumpkins for 45.88 each.

What a dumbass. I don’t recall anyone bashing on the family. The criticisms we’re aimed at CNN.

Yes and at him, personally, for not thinking to do his job

The price of milk is too high? Are their bootstraps broken?

Price of milk is at an all time low if you price it in Bitcoin rather than lol fiat dollars.

Makes you think.

I long for the days of stability we had under the last two Republican regimes. Good times they were.

Massively good job numbers Friday along with upward revisions of the past two months’ lackluster numbers, and this is the narrative. It’s just mind boggling how bad we are at messaging.

Getting out of a 20 year war shows things are “getting out of control”

It’s a slippery slope man you start pulling out of 20 year military quagmires and next thing you know you’re providing health care to poor people. OUT OF CONTROL!!!

It’s a slippery slope. If the Ds use this tactic, the Rs are going retaliate by doing the thing they are going to do anyways and the Ds can’t risk that happening.

Not sure if this belongs in the education thread. LOL either way.

Choice quote in an article full of them:

As a slightly-related aside, it is amazing and disappointing how quickly and easily Republicans were able to paint Democrats as the Party Of The Ruling Class. Obviously they aren’t necessarily wrong, as Democrats continue to move towards being the party of upper middle class suburbanites, but it’s a hypocrisy that goes completely unchallenged. The Republicans just had a “billionaire” New York city developer as President! Most of their congresspeople whining about this are of the Ted “Harvard Law School” Cruz variety! Most of the money that funds their power grabs comes from rich people and corporations! Yet the Democrats shit on anyone that has any hope of countering this push (Bernie, Squad, etc) and seem to actually embrace it–“why, yes, we are the party of rich, coastal elites!”
