How is this political drama? Debating policy and figuring out what steps to take to fix problems is what we pay these people to do. It's Bernies job to fight for policies he and his constituents support.

that said, I love politics and am living for FB rn

I understand you here in bold. Totally agree.

But I am kinda getting bummed out on politics, and that sucks cause I was sooo into it and the worst thing is to not be involved. People have to be involved for the system to actually work, and so many are so disillusioned by it that they stop caring which is about the worst thing that can happen for a democracy.

 

I for one hate getting on FB cause of how depressing the news is, but the Obama-Biden memes are one thing helping it a bit! Keep them coming!

Well, I discovered for myself that the Democratic Party is sh*t. But, maybe sh*t with good intentions. But maybe not. Who knows?

I understand how I feel, the news is despressing rn but we must stay involved in the political process. Bernie says it's extremely important for us to stay involved like u said. We have tell Washington that they have to represent us as well.

Couldn't agree more. Ignorance is not bliss.

This is not political drama. This is being a well-informed adult, and an active member of whatever community you are in.

ok I'm all down for Bernie, but I need a way better explanation of Trump's plan to really understand it. Is this saying just any random corporation can invest in infrastructure projects to get a tax break? That's weird. is that even how those projects work? I'm gonna need a non-partisan explanation ???

Basically Trumps plan would be to let corporations build the infrastructure instead of the government. The problem Bernie has is that many of these corporations, keep money out of this country to avoid it being taxed and Trump is proposing giving more tax breaks so that the companies will build the roads. Bernie believes that the government should pay for the infrastructure but do it by closing loop holes that allow corporations to hide money from taxation, that's how he wants to pay for it. Basically he's saying Trump is enabling the rich who don't pay taxes instead of standing up to them.
