    But the democrats threatened to make them pay just a little bit more in taxes, like 2.5% more, so BOOM, fascism!

      Dems never actually threatened that, though.

      They threatened the working class, instead. Kept moving to the right, tossing queer peeps under the bus, tossing immigrants under the bus, etc etc.

      Even now, the Dems are attacking progressives harder than they attack the Reich Wing.

        Biden did threaten that, though, and his head of SEC actually started to go after a lot of tech monopolies. You are referring to the overarching democratic party. I was referring to the previous democratic admin.

          Did he or did he just provide pablum for the plebiscite?

          “Nothing will fundamentally change” doesnt sound like a threat to me.

            I mean the person in the SEC was real, and she was really taking on the corpos. Whether Biden’s tax stuff was to placate or not, he refused to remove her, and she was a huge threat to the monopolies of the tech giants.
