The American press refused to report Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables" statement in context. For all their faux consternation, she wasn't wrong. "You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people — now have 11 million. He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric. Now, some of those folks — they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America. But the other basket...that other basket of people are people who feel that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures, and they’re just desperate for change. It doesn’t really even matter where it comes from. They don’t buy everything he says, but he seems to hold out some hope that their lives will be different. They won’t wake up and see their jobs disappear, lose a kid to heroin, feel like they’re in a dead-end. Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well." Over 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, with 20% struggling to pay their monthly bills. 56% can't afford $1,000 in an emergency; 27% have no savings at all. 12.8% have difficulty putting enough food on the table. While waiting in increasing desperation for Reaganomics to "trickle down", instead $50 trillion has been siphoned up from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1% since 1980. The wealthiest 10% now hold about 93% of all stocks; the richest 1% owns 54%. The lower half of Americans own only 1%. It's hard for 90% of Americans to feel included in your vision of America when you're crowing about record stock market highs but they only hold 7% of stock, their adult kids face a lifetime of indentured servitude to the banks holding their student loans and are sleeping on their couches because housing's no longer affordable and wages have been so flat for 40 years that most entry-level jobs barely cover the cost of gas to get to work and back and if anyone gets sick there's a 66.5% chance you'll be bankrupted by medical bills from some of the most profitable corporations in the world. The people who form the contents of this "other basket" aren't deplorable; their fears are very real, perfectly legitimate, easily converted into existential rage by Fascist demagogues, and completely ignored by centrist corporate Democrats.
Derek Chauvin a hero ?? What the hell is wrong with you, the whole world saw that video. Deplorable is right. This little Troll gets alot of views too. They are retards. Sorry you morons but you can't support Americas mass incarceration police state and the liberty meaning of the don't tread on my flag at the same time. Dumbasses. With that asside I hope we make America healthy again and gut the bureaucracy.
I just have to point out just because this Hillary is correct that some people on the right are truly awful doesn't mean she is not an elite criminal politician creep herself. This pick a side thing gets old after awhile. Package-deal fallacy - Wikipedia "I agreed with Hillary on something so I *must* be a fan or something it gets so old.
He can't ....MAGA is like a 100 Amoebas clinging, trying to form a quarter of a brain cell, trying to form a laughable / easily debunked conspiracy theory..... and they still try to push their long debunked conspiracy . Just like riding on deflated/ flaming rims .
This is typical of the BS spread by the rich. They start with AGI…..have you done your taxes lately? By the time you get to adjusted gross income, the system has worked it’s magic and the wealthy people have shrunk their income massively….not you or I. This is an irrelevant analysis. Just how do you think the rich have been increasing their share of the wealth at an increasing rate? If I had a copy of this analysis, I would put it outside my front door to wipe the mud off my shoes before I came inside.
Neither was Kamala. The success of the R s in 2025 and 2016 was a result of sexism and misogyny…..pure and simple. Only Indian young men resisted the swan song of treating women as less than. Young White and Hispanic and to some extent young Black men went all in. Young Crow, Siletz, Comanche and Ojibway knew better. You can check the county by county voting statistics. So now we have a government that is by the wealthy for the wealthy ….Men. And those who think they will be winners and every one else losers, that’s not the way it works. I’m old enough to just turn up the old AC as the earth heats. That’s not going to work for today’s young people. Burn baby burn might make a few rich in the short run but it’s a recipe for extinction. And for those who criticize Hillary and Kamala for the slightest of mistakes, look at the major crimes, fraud, and social violence of today’s R s
