Trump: I want no tax on tips.

Waiters: Yeah!

Harris: I want the same thing!

Waiters: Why aren't you doing it then if you agree with it?

Harris: I'm not in charge; Biden is.  His brain works fine.

Waiters: Why doesn't Biden comment on the issue (whether or not he agrees)?  If he doesn't agree, then he should justify it; if he does agree, then he should pass it since MAGA world and Biden world agree.

How would the blue voter respond to this?

So lower taxes on the rich, lower taxes on everyone.

Then pray that Jesus will pay off the debt.

Waiters: Yeah!
I’ll believe his word if he follows through with it when he becomes president.

Let some actual left wingers make their argument instead of you strawmanning them.  Some are tagged.

I still haven't figured out if you sound more retarded when you criticized liberals or when you criticize conservatives. 

I just think you take the most retarded points both sides make and then adopt it. So you are in fact worse than a retarded leftis. Because at least a retarded leftist only believes retarded leftist talking points.

You are worse than a retarded conservative because at least a retarded conservative only believes retarded conservative stuff. 

You simultaneously believe the most retarded stuff from both sides, so in a way you are a double retard.

To answer your question that was only meant to take steam away from Trump on that issue. No Democrat actually gives a shit. 

Not a single Democrat voted for her based on that issue, but she may have convinced some waitresses not to vote Trump.

By your warped standards, I'm proud to be retarted (by your standards which don't make any sense).

Better retarted than in a cult!

Because none of this was brought up until months before an election. Congress was all out campaigning, no one is going to pass anything meaningful at that point.

If everyone agrees, then passing it should be very simple.  A democrat in the house makes the bill; the democrats will vote in favor; if Trump tells the republicans to vote against it; then Harris can use that against Trump and say, "I'm trying to end taxes on tips; but the MAGA Republicans are blocking it because of Trump who is trying to make sure I don't get a win that benefits the American people".

If Trump lets the republicans vote in favor; then the bill should pass very easily and quickly (3 days or so).

Again, you asked how does the blue voter respond to it. I just gave you the reality, no party is going to pass major legislation like that in the waning months of a political campaign. Harris has only been the nominee for a little over 100 days, and getting rid of tax on tips is a major sea change in our tax policy that would have severe domino effects if not done properly. With every member of the house out campaigning for their seats and about a third of the senate, this isn’t feasible and goes against the grain of everything politics is.

That answer may not satisfy some, but their gripe isn’t Biden or Harris it’s the entire US political system, so to take that out or use it against Harris is ridiculous.

It's easy to get stuff done if you want to get stuff done.  You know how quickly the states that wanted to do mask mandates got their mask mandates in 2020?  It's easy to get stuff done iff (if and only if) you want to get stuff done.  Roe got repealed; the places that wanted to ban abortion and legalize abortion were able to do it quickly because they actually wanted to do it.

Again, something like that would need Congress and Congress was not going to pass it weeks before an election. All the will in the world wasn't going to change that.

But if you want to insist they should have tried or if the whole point here is about left vs right, then fine, just argue that she didn't want to pass it and instead just wanted to win an election. If any right wing voter really wants to pretend that this is a terrible thing then remind them about how republicans shelved the border bill they've been asking for for years and keeping the border "open" for an entire additional year all because Trump wanted to run on fixing immigration. That is infinitely worse.

You're right; that's hypocritical of MAGA.

And yet, when they really wanted to, the left re-enacted all the executive orders to curb illegal immigration a month before election day so they could say "see! it's actually not a problem!"

No congressional bills are required for executive orders. Poison-pill or otherwise.

4 years of doing nothing and then doing something in the last month is how you lose an election.

It's not the left that's been screaming from the mountaintops about immigration for the past 8 years. That was there republicans far mongering about how they're coning here to rape your daughters, only to turn around and say  "nah, we'll wait till Trump is in office to fix it".

Say whatever you want about the democrats failure to take a serious problem seriously, when it comes to brazen hypocrisy and dishonesty they don't come close to MAGA.

The Mayor of New York disagrees.
