More than a dozen former Ronald Reagan staff members have joined dozens of other Republican figures endorsing the Democratic nominee and vice-president, Kamala Harris, saying their support was “less about supporting the Democratic party and more about our resounding support for democracy”.

    And Trump has already proven to support Israel’s eradication of Palestinians and expansion into Gaza and the West Bank. Israel is not the point of comparison between them. Trump is worse for Palestinians.

    Trump is the same as Harris with respect to genocide. He can’t just buy bombs on his personal card and ship them via DHL, this is a bipartisan effort because the basis is economic, not moral.

    More money in the hands of the lower and middle classes stimulates the economy and drives stock prices. The middle class is considered the most wasteful class. That consumption drives consumerism.

    No idea why you’re bringing this up.

      Have you compared Biden and Trump’s tax proposals? They’re extremely different. Stabilizing the lower and middle classes will result in more consumerism, which in turn helps stock prices. Middle-class conservative stockholders or business owners would benefit from Biden’s tax proposal. It’s the $400k+ earners that get hit the hardest.

        Again, no idea why you’re bringing it up in any capacity. I know what you’re talking about, not why it’s relevant. For starters, “lower class” and “middle class” don’t mean anything, they are entirely arbitrary.

            I brought up US Imperialism and the promise of juicy profits to the MIC. Palestine obviously matters the most, but I truly don’t see why the tax proposals are relevant when discussing why fascist Reaganites love Harris. Harris will continue to push US Imperialism even further, with more exploitation of the Global South.
