If You Have Interest In Joining A New US Center-Left/Left Political Party Which Caucuses With Democrats, Which Formal Name Would You Choose?

I'm a social democrat, but I think there's enough sentiment among Americans against associations specifically with "socialism," and have considered more broad and inclusive alternatives which includes social democracy and other left democratic goals.

Feel free to post alternative names in comments.

Just thought I'd point out another of Trump's lies.

Project 2025 will...

  • ...reduce the size and scope of the EPA and eliminate or weaken various environmental regulations. This means that companies will be able to pollute more, which will make the air and water dirtier and could make people sick. [420]
  • ...**prioritize industry over environment by promoting economic growth and energy production over environmental protection.**This could lead to a prioritization of short-term economic gains over long-term environmental sustainability. [13] [521]
  • ...allow more pollution from cars and trucks. This means that the air will be dirtier, which could make it harder for people to breathe and could cause more people to get sick. [628]
  • ...make it easier to build roads and pipelines in places where animals live. This could hurt animals and destroy the places where they live. [61] [533]
  • ...make it easier to cut down trees in national forests. This could hurt animals that live in the forests and could make the air dirtier. [308]
  • ...let companies drill for more oil and gas on public lands. This could hurt animals and plants that live in those areas and could make climate change worse. [521]
  • ...weaken rules that protect endangered animals. This could cause some animals to disappear forever. [534]
  • ...stop the government from studying climate change. This means that we will know less about how climate change is affecting our planet and what we can do to stop it. [61]

I know this sounds weird, but all the news about Trump made me do research, and more research. I found video evidence! Pardon the video quality, I just slapped everything together so you could see it. Here is Proof that Trump really IS Hi#ler!

You all need to understand that Trump et al are confused about tariffs causing inflation, they WANT inflation

Edit: Oops! I mean for the title to say “You all need to understand that Trump et al AREN’T confused about tariffs causing inflation, they WANT inflation”

Look, Trump has a ton of debt and his rich buddies have a ton of debt. A lot of people don’t know how this works, but if you are a billionaire you don’t spend your money unless you have to. Instead they use their shares of the companies they’ve started as collateral and get securities backed loans at super low interest rates from the bank. Cash you receive from a loan isn’t taxed, so this is a way to access the value of their assets without actually selling any and triggering capital gains taxes.

Loans have a set principle in dollars or whatever the currency at the time of setting the contract, and after that you have to pay back the amount borrowed per the contract plus the interest.

If the dollar suddenly devalues by 100x because of hyperinflation, you can clear out your debt at a huge discount because paying back each original dollar in the contract is now like paying back a penny, meanwhile your stocks / investments have likely somewhat kept pace with inflation so you have lots of extra dollars.

It isn’t stupidity, they are trying to screw everyone who doesn’t earn a living based on asset valuations.
