They think the Dems are the ones allowing the CEOs to fleece us and think Trump will do something about it. They are stupid and easily manipulated. Their legit anger, but lack of skepticism is allowing them to be lead around by charlatans.

I saw a comment somewhere saying Trump will immediately pardon our hooded modern folk hero… we need to form a team for Olympic-level mental gymnastics with the galaxy brain takes some of these jamokes have

I think it’s that they know the Dems are not going to do anything about it either.

Many Dems actually believe that they are the good guys and aren't also to blame for the corpo nature of America.

Two sides of easily manipulated angry people being led by charlatans.

Can we not do "both sides are the same" as we're sliding into a dictatorship?

Most younger D voters don't actually like the DNC and don't believe that they will help much. They just prefer that to the active harm the Republicans are trying to achieve.

Lets not pretend its just youth. Its every demographic, isnt it.

I know too many boomers and GenX who were excited for Biden and Harris. Don't get me wrong, I still voted for them and kept my cynical comments offline until after the election, but I sure as hell wasn't excited.

Biden increased the minimum corporate tax rate from 0% to 15%. By following the money (and the tax rates) we cut thru the tired bullshit of vague claims. The best way to achieve clarity is to focus like a laser on what happens with tax rates.
