Economy & Epstein: Dems have their blueprint for 2026 / 2028

[RoryN]

The existential crisis of losing our Republic, and the social issues behind racism and xenophobia, are topics that are obviously too advanced for most of the American public. (They're too stupid; the evidence for that is insurmountable.)

These two topics aren't: did he make the economy better for you and / or your family? Did he lie about the thing you really cared about?

Done. Grab back some Deplorable votes, win elections and then, once the House, Senate, White House or combination thereof are back in Dem control, make them pay. Think woke, but on steroids.

But who to lead the party? Big question.

Game on.

Democrats in Congress say they will introduce measures this coming week to press for the disclosure of the Jeffrey Epstein files as the Trump administration balks.

As recently as 2023, when Democrats led the Senate, they blocked a GOP proposal to subpoena Epstein flight logs. But now they are leaning in as the “Make America Great Again” movement is in an uproar after the Department of Justice (DOJ) claimed it had no evidence that Epstein had a client list, blackmailed powerful people, or was murdered.

But the economy is good. Epstein is a wash. Add in all the other unpopular bullshit the Dems are for and they'll need a whole lot more.

Economy and Epstein: Gen Z MAGA wants results


TAMPA BAY, Florida – The economy and Jeffrey Epstein were on the lips of almost everyone at one of the largest gatherings of MAGA's Gen Z adherents this weekend. And they're demanding results.

Why it matters: Republicans made stunning gains in the 2024 election after young voters made an unexpected and unprecedented jolt to the right. To keep those voters in the tent, the party is feeling the pressure to respond to a generation worried about achieving financial milestones and a government they're convinced doesn't protect their interests.

• "It's really a race against the clock, and the clock is, young people have an economically disordered life post-COVID," Charlie Kirk said in an interview with Axios at Turning Point USA's Student Action Summit. "It is a volcano that is waiting to explode, unless you can kind of turn that corner and people can start to see their lives improving year over year."
• "Then also, for a smaller portion, I would still say it's important, and obviously it's been talked about at this event, is clarifying and cleaning up the Epstein stuff. For younger voters that are hyper online, more libertarian, it's definitely a concern," he added.

Inside the room: At the conference, heavy on pyrotechnics and thumping base music and including a dance floor for attendees, Axios spoke with a dozen Gen Z attendees.

• They outlined a pervasive concern about their future ability to have well-paying jobs, buy houses and afford families – and a deep skepticism of the Trump administration's rollout of information around the 2019 prison death of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

What they're saying: "That's a sentiment I see a lot among my peers, is they are very fearful for their ability to just live a normal life in the future," said Jacob, a 19-year-old Virginia Tech student who didn't want to disclose his last name.

• "I think they need to release information. I think the Trump administration is being forced to cover it up," Donavan Fogle, a 20-year-old nursing student, added about Epstein.

Run AOC up the flagpole and see who salutes.

Make that very nicely.

Yeah. I'm nice to nice people.

You think going even farther left is answer? Lol.

Democrats blocked releases of documents under Biden

No they didn't.

 

[YDB95]

You say "even further left" as if the Democrats are already a bunch of wild-eyed radicals. Truth is they're barely left of center, and a bit right of center on some issues. So yes, I want voters to have a choice not an echo.

How far left of center would you say AOC is? She won't be pulling in many votes from centrists. But by all means, nominate her.

 

[YDB95]

She won't be pulling in many votes from centrists.

Depends on whether you mean real centrists, or people who call themselves that but are really right-wingers. (There are a LOT of the latter.)

It doesn't really matter what you call them. They are what they are.

That directly contradicts the point of your last post.

The only point is see is your pointy head. Lol.

 

[YDB95]

Oh, I have no trouble believing you've missed your own point.

 

[Rotadom]

Nice one.

 

[Saint_Ann]

Oh, I have no trouble believing you've missed your own point.

That a far left candidate won't pull in many centrist voters compared to a slightly left of center candidate? Are you new to politics?

You're still not getting it. Most of the people you're referring to are not really "centrist" at all. Besides, we saw how Bernie Sanders attracted support from people you would normally expect to vote Republican.

I hope she wins the d primary, if you're still having them.
