Now we’re down to the final stretch, the last section of the platform, which they call “ A commitment to sweeping, transformative change.” It’s only 4 points long, so this won’t take that long. We should be finished by next Monday. Mostly, I think we’re going to see, these are all areas they want to pander to, not that will be good for the nation as a whole because neither extreme cares about the nation. They just want to make everyone just like them. Hard pass on that.

I’m taking this from The Progressive Promise, which is a platform statement from the House of Representatives. Unfortunately, like all platform statements, what it says doesn’t stand up in actual reality. Yes, I know that this is not what all progressives believe and that it is being stated in the most attractive way possible to attract people to vote for them, but still, this is why I cannot stand any of these positions.

Demanding bold and visionary legislation to address the needs in every community and rejecting incrementalist approaches that fail to deliver urgent transformative change.

These are not people who live in the real world. They’re not concerned about “every community”. They have their groups that they pander to and anyone who isn’t on their side, they entirely ignore or villainize.

The only changes they want are the ones that put more voters in the voting book, casting votes for them. This is why, when it looked like Biden might have a chance of winning, I changed my entire investment strategy back in 2019/2020. I knew that a Biden presidency would screw up the economy  because virtually every Democratic presidency in recent history has.

Therefore, I took the majority of the money I had invested in people who sold things, ie. retail companies, and reinvested it in people who made things, either raw materials or components used to make other things.

This was before Covid, of course, but my investments in lumber futures made me a ton of money. Had I a little foresight, maybe I would have left some more money in Home Depot and Lowes, but lumber futures shot through the ceiling. By May 2021, it was sitting at around $1650 per 1000 board feet. I finally dumped a lot of it  back in May 2022, when it came down to a thousand per thousand board feet and today, it’s down to $500 or so because the economy sucks. That was fortuitous on my part, but generally speaking, my investments really paid off because I knew Biden would suck.

The communities that they don’t care about are the ones that are self-sufficient and don’t need to suck on the governmental teat. You know, the ones who pay the bills for everyone else. They don’t want to talk about those people. They just want to print money so they can buy votes.

This is all just big words that mean nothing because that’s not what the left wants. They are based on pure fee-fees and not fiscal facts. My community, they don’t care about, in fact, they are doing everything that they can to destroy my community. The people who don’t vote for them are not the people they want to support. Sorry, but aren’t you being elected to represent EVERYONE? Nope, that’s not how modern politics work. So I’m not voting for any of you assholes anymore. Screw every last one of you.
