I think the "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" idea is overstated, most people I interact with have a somewhat negative outlook on the economy and their future wealth.
I think the real issue is that no viable alternative is presented to most people.
The alternatives presented are Russian-style authoritarian oligarchy, Islamofascism, or a Venezuela-style "socialism" in which the narrative only focuses on poverty.
Are you paying attention to the media lately? Its filled with outright lies, warmongering, and bloodthirst.
Just like the lead up to the Iraq war.
As if supporting the Israeli genocide wasnt enough, now Harris is proudly campaigning with a family of war criminals.
Yes he signed up to give his money away. To a charitable trust. Which he and his family controls. And can withdraw from at any time.
It isnt a charity pledge, its a plan to avoid paying taxes.
I have no problem with this, because the latest Trump press releases have given me so much hope.
You know what, you're right. You've convinced me to put my hope in press releases.
Biden sent out many press releases about a public option before he was elected, so I'll put my hope in him and stop paying my health insurance premiums.
Obama similarly sent out many press releases about holding climate change below 1.5 degrees and codifying Roe v Wade. What a relief! Now I don't have to worry about climate change or women's reproductive rights anymore!
Real hope is a good thing. Blind hope is a weakness.
If you are getting your hopes up from a press release, and ignoring her entire work history as district attorney, then you are being duped. Actions speak louder than words.
Policy is what matters. A public apology is just optics, and I only care about optics insofar as it affects policy.
I was offering up a public apology as one way to help resolve her current hypocrisy on this issue. Harris' current position seems to be something like "allow current and future cannabis consumption, but continue to brutally punish those who consumed cannabis in the past" and I find this deeply schizophrenic.
Ah the good old "but you support Trump" debating line. Truly you are a paragon of mental acuity.
