    Oh no, what will I ever do if I can’t keep buying stuff I dont need.

    “Americans might have trouble expressing greedy tendencies under a Trump presidency.”

    The entitlement of americans is absurd. Palestinian children are killed with made in america bombs while our population weeps over its loss of made in china electronics.

    Clearly the american dream is dead if you can’t replace your computer every year.

      Your post right there? That’s one of the reasons Harris lost.

      Of course people (not just Americans) are selfish. Doesn’t matter if it’s good or not, that’s just the factual truth. The Republicans knew how to work with that, by selling the voters a solution to the things that actually interested them. That’s also what helped Obama (“Hope”, though a bit vague) and Bill Clinton (“It’s the economy, stupid”) get elected (Yes, it also didn’t hurt that they were rock stars). Now the Democrats are perceived not only as a party that’s not willing to work on issues that concern them, but as actually criticizing them for wanting what they want.
