Now, the Democratic presidential candidate’s campaign is nodding to her summer job to highlight her upbringing and a platform to boost American workers that stands in stark contrast to her Republican rival Donald Trump, who “has no plan to help the middle class — just more tax cuts for billionaires,” according to a recent ad.

neither do you or your party
some of do not have the luxury of working McDonald’s as a summer job to learn values
for some it is a fulltime job that will not pay all the bills including food and will have the workers overworked and underpaid and underappreciated and sick from lack of healthcare
get the fuck out of here saying you know what it is like to struggle Kamala
doubt she ever went to bed hungry
if the Democrats truly understood the minimum wage would be $20 or more and we would have had universal healthcare because they would have fought tooth claw and nail for the people to have it despite Republican oppositions
“There was not a family relying on me to pay the rent, put food on the table and keep the bills paid by the end of the month,” she added. “But the reality of McDonald’s is that a majority of the folk who are working there today are relying on that income to sustain a household and a family.”
her saying that does not translate to Harris or the Democrats truly understanding the plight of the US worker
the actual people making sure the country is still in operation the workers who are always forgotten by the time shareholders are paid and elections results are counted
tl;dr
“She’s not Marx enough for me.”
It’s not like Marx himself would have passed that test.
just curious, whats your solution? you seem great at pointing out how everyone running is an ignorant piece of shit and unworthy of politics.
what, Realistically is your solution? vote 3rd party? vote for the faster path to fascism via the orange turd??
no candidates are going to be 100%, we will always be picking the best ‘running’. so, who the fuck do you think people should vote for now realistically, to get democratic ideals pushed forward?
so far youre just a whiner with zero added value.
if enough people put in enough vote to a third party then it would become a viable party
the democrats hold a carrot to their voters every election halting any form of progress
every election we get either the Republicans actively against the people or we get the Baby Steps Party that is full of enough empty promises to keep people on the treadmill
so you dont have a solution for the present . just some hyperbole on what people maybe should kinda move towards. got it.
doesnt seem to stop you from shitting on the actually choices people need to make now.
look, im with you. progressives have been shit on for 50 years by a very conservative democratic party, but if we dont keep voting the babystepping democrats in, we dont get opportunities like we had where Bernie almost made it.
that is the piece youre flat out ignoring. we cant get more Bernie opportunities if we cant keep people successfully voting down that path. your rhetoric is antithetical to actual progress.
if enough people put in enough vote to a third party then it would become a viable party
The ONLY way that’s going to happen is if the 3rd parties get their shit together and run a candidate and platform that isn’t insane; and if we completely eliminate the spoiler effect, which will require a complete switch to ranked choice voting or some other system that addresses it.
As of today, we have a duopoly, and the choices within that duopoly are fascism or not fascism. If fascism wins, 3rds are fucked right along with everyone else, so if you support 3rds then your best option is to vote Harris as a means of preserving a flawed but malleable system that can eventually be made compatible with your goals. Voting for anyone else, or not voting at all, just tips the scales that much closer to fascism.
I’m rooting for you. Viable 3rd parties would be a great addition to our system, but that’s going to take systemic changes beyond the scope of one election or party. You’ve got a LOT of work to do, but keep your eyes on the prize and don’t let your work space burn to the ground.
if the Democrats truly understood the minimum wage would be $20 or more
In Democrat-controlled California, the minimum wage for fast food workers is $20: https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/minimum_wage.htm
Glad to see a colleague in the Oval Office
“oh yeah, well i played at a McDonald’s commercial!”
— some old weirdo, probably
If she were from the east coast, we could have a “from White Castle to White House” slogan.
Makes it sound like a downgrade tbh
I’ve spent my entire life on the east coast and, to my knowledge, never been anywhere near a White Castle restaurant.
Though I would love to go to one. The frozen sandwiches are fantastic by my low standards.
As an non-american that seems very patriotic.
*to have worked at Macdonalds.
*t’ve mcworked.
t’ve mctwerked
Wait, the MacDonald’s? The one I saw featured prominently in 1988’s Mac and Me? Radical!
No, you’re thinking of McDowell’s from 1988’s Coming to America.
Now she’s making a hamberder out of Trump.
Yikes. I wouldn’t even feed that to pigs.
But Mr. Wu would feed trump to his pigs.
Swearengen! Cocksucker!

The American dream, it’s still alive. From dishes cleaner to president. /s
They really are just like us, come look, she even worked at mcdonalds.
TIL. Those who have worked in the food industry, will always have way more respect for somebody else who has worked in the food industry.
That shit is hard. I wonder if she had that moment many in that industry have had crying in the cooler.
Things must be getting really bad if the president needs a second job…
Particularly if that second job is McDonald’s. Nothing wrong with that job, just not the best job I’d think a president could get.
With the price of McDonald’s these days, she may be just doing it for the employee discount.

Why can’t she go to the white house? Why would a president need to work out of a mcdonalds? …
The same reason NASA used an abandoned McDonalds for dome projects.
Times are hard when you have to work two jobs by running the country and flipping burgers.
