Trump’s fake middle-class tax cuts are dead
The midterms are over, and so are Republicans’ phantom middle-class tax cuts.

Yo, so I keep requesting a absentee ballot and they keep sending more applications for an absentee ballot. I’ve done this four times. Mn is trying to suppress my vote!
I hope I can still vote in person and they don’t say I tried to vote twice.

Doubt it. Find out when early voting starts and show up to vote ASAP instead of waiting in line November 3rd.

So now plans don’t matter? When people have been tagging me asking about his plan for black Americans for months?

dudes just decided this thing just went away...
There are quite a few examples of Trump proposing ideas before elections that never materialize. The middle-class tax cuts and healthcare come to mind.

like his racism, trump has a long history of claiming he will do something ANDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD not doing it
for example:
Trump and the Truth: His Charitable Giving
Trump says he gives away millions through his foundation, but an analysis finds that he hasn’t put up any of his own money since 2008.

1. Ask me to show Trump’s plan for black Americans because Biden shared a plan for black Americans.
2. Say well it doesn’t matter if he has a plan because he has a history of not following through
3. Ignore Biden’s history
Never change

Still reading through this, but I saw it on my TL and wanted to share:
www.vox.com
Democracy works because it disciplines politicians and parties: It forces them to hew closer to what the voters want, and punishes them when they diverge too far. But that disciplining function dissolves when the pathway to minoritarian rule strengthens. That’s broadly understood. What’s less understood is that it also dissolves when the mechanisms of governance weaken, when government begins routinely failing to deliver voters the change that has been promised.
“It’s very difficult right now for Americans to see why it is that they go to the polls and — maybe — the people they vote for get elected, but then not much seems to change,” says Suzanne Mettler, co-author of Four Threats: The Recurring Crises of American Democracy. “They don’t follow the fact that, well, there weren’t 60 votes for cloture in order to bring something to the floor in the Senate.”
The Senate sits at the center of both these currents of dysfunction, and its toxic role in American politics, and American life, has been protected by the thick shroud of mythos and tradition that surrounds it. It is why American citizens in DC and Puerto Rico remain disenfranchised. It is why reforms to make democracy more responsive, to protect it from the flood of cash and the perversions of gerrymandering and voter suppression, have no chance of passage. It is why, even on the occasions when one party holds both chambers of Congress and the White House, so little gets done.
“One of the worst things about the filibuster is it allows senators to say they support something without ever having to stand behind a vote,” says Stasha Rhodes, director of the 51 for 51 campaign, which advocates for a DC statehood vote free from the filibuster. “It’s one thing to say you support DC statehood and another to say you support bypassing the filibuster to see it actually happens. It is one thing to talk about the need to reduce gun violence in America. It’s another to say you’re going to remove the hurdles that stand in that bill’s way. The difference between removing the filibuster and not is the difference between theory and action.”

His plan is to give black business' in Atlanta loans? Thats it?
The Messiah has risen from the grave to save black folks with 50 billion in LOANS
It looks like your problem is that you're trying to revise history and project with number 3. Just because you refuse to discuss the pros and cons of Trump doesn't mean others haven't for Biden.
Never change.
