  • They'll be fine. They know they'll be fine. They got into politics to be bought and bought they have been, pariah leftists like Sanders and AOC who rejected the bribe checks excluded.

    As always this is class warfare, with propaganda twisting it into a narrative that keeps the poors beating on each other rather than looking up.

    No wealthy wife or mistress will ever lose access to abortion, no wealthy individual access to Amazing Healthcare.

    That's why I pity Republican voters, useful idiots, and move on. Americans are poorly educated on purpose to be more compliant laborers, those who were average and below that couldn't rise above that became them. No capacity to think or reason critically, empathy beaten out of them by media that preyed on those that rely on emotion in lieu of problem solving skills.

    As ever, the enemies aren't our more deluded fellow poors, or the well bribed middle managers in Congress. The oldest rule of finding who the real enemy is still applies: those holding the biggest bag of cash stock portfolio when all carnage's dust settles.

    We need to do more to Wall Street than occupy it, or get comfortable, because while the capital markets exist and run the nations meant to keep them in check, nothing can improve ever.

  • Treating the Neoliberals as allies since their former opposition got them on the take in the 70s and 80s is why we're here. The right leads the charge into fascism every cycle, and their "opposition" meets them in the new middle, but with affirmation ribbons instead of scapegoats, all the while both enabling murder for profit and mass homelessness to threaten the laborers.

    The Democrat party doesn't care if it loses. That's part of the grift. What it cares about is losing its half of the corpo bribe gravy train, which is why They would be treating a spoiler President like AOC the way we wish they were treating Trump.

    It's all been a game of social symptom good cop/bad cop while defending the oligarchs from the needs and demands of the people they consume by stoking and magnifying social division on issues that don't effect private profits, which is why half of America generally revels in the pain of the other half. Every bully pulpit, from for profit "news" to political podiums have been demanding we hate one another for half a century, and propaganda works.

    Divide and profit. We need hot revolution starting with doing so much more to the capital markets than occupy them.

    Or more likely, we'll continue to submit to this Hell of greed and antisocial cruelty like cowards until the planet itself handles the problem in a couple decades. Either way, I'm glad this situation can't continue for hundreds or thousands of years.

    Unchecked capitalism is always a race to fascism. Neoliberalism opens the door for fascism. Putting the wellbeing of our beloved economy aka our robber barons over human life as both parties proudly do can only lead to dehumanizion when profit/growth/metastasis expectations aren't being met. Powerless people to blame for society's suffering rather than the greed class that is responsible.

    If you still think the Neoliberals are some part of anyone's salvation at this late hour, you haven't been paying attention. The reason they have extra no plan now is because their bosses the oligarchs have basically cut out their middlemen middle managers in the executive branch and are just looting the country themselves. No neoliberal is going to do a god damned thing, Trump and Musk represent their actual bosses, and they probably own some Tesla Stock.

    And yeah, I voted for Harris out of harm reduction, because affirmation ribbons in oligarch hell is technically better than scapegoating in oligarch hell, and that is the extent of our "Freedom" since Reagan.

  • When a NeoConfederate and a NeoNazi start beating the shit out of each other, I'm on the popcorn's side. 🍿

  • I think treating the Neoliberals or the Fascists as allies is unhelpful.

    They aren't.

  • I'm genuinely shocked it was taken down at this stage in our self-destruction

  • The United States of America

    Kleptostan brought to you by Carl's Jr

    The fascists are worse. I voted Harris with a funeral dirge in my heart out of harm reduction, but make no mistake, all we've been arguing for half a century is the rate of decline. A little slower under neoliberals, a little faster under Fascists.

    NOTHING CAN IMPROVE until our government knocks our oligarchs down to size. Both parties are very well paid by the oligarchs to defend them from us. The oligarchs are running the asylum because both parties let them.

    Republicans having no meaningful opposition on the shape and priorities of the economy for so long made them this bold. Every cycle in most of our lifetimes, both parties have been marching rightward. I fully expect next cycle for neoliberals to advocate "more humane" concentration camps in their never ending March to the new middle, already deep into fascist crazy town.

  • The DNC and their non-spoiler neoliberals are still getting their sweet sweet oligarch bribe checks, so all is right with the world as far as they're concerned.

    They're literally more defensive about any actual leftwing movement to get them to defend the people from the murderous capitalists destroying us and the planet for short term profit.

    We either need a populist to steal the DNC's machine from them as they're kicking and screaming like Trump did the RNC, make a 3rd party, the best option have a hot revolution starting with Wall Street, or accept this hell as we sleepwalk into oblivion.

    Blue no matter who is rearranging deck chairs on a sinking ship. I voted for Harris out of some harm reduction, but the capitalists are the problem and own both parties. Republicans revel in the cruelty and are simply louder about it. Democrats will support your freedom to be LGBTQ... As you die in the gutter of poverty, exposure, and capital defense force brutality. Here have an affirmation ribbon to use as a blanket and/or snack in your cardboard box as they support the industry denying the claims for the nerve damage that made you lose your shitty subsistence job when your treatment would cut into their profit expectations.

    Both parties support the "Freedom" of the rich to toss capital batteries they broke into the trash when they're no longer of use to their bottom line. Freedom without social responsibility is a rampage.

  • That's literally like half of marriages.

  • The US needs a left-wing Party.

    This has been half a century of Fascists vs neoliberals, center-right "free to be LGBTQ as you die of poverty in the gutter" vs so far right we're building Concentration camps.

    Unfortunately our people have been poorly educated by design as well as brainwashed into believing profit comes before humanity. " Herp derp Anything less is socialism and therefore evil!"

    This is only "freedom" for the rich to trample the poor. Freedom without social responsibility is a rampage. We need revolution, revolution that does far more to Wall Street than merely occupy it , or we need to accept living in hell until the capitalists destroy the climate enough to destroy civilization all together.

    Don't worry, just a few more decades of the same at most for nature to do what we're failing to. This will end within a human lifespan, the choice is if it will be with or without a habitable planet for Humans.

    This isnt the usual ebbs and flows of history, There is a very literal deadline of humanity's own greedy making.

  • Sorry, you're stuck with hoards of people our economy has made too poor to get citizenship elsewhere. Shitty country run by selfish oligarchs. 🤷

  • Don't forget this either:

    We weren't some benevolent force for good in WW2. People love pointing it out as if we proactively fought for good.

    The Axis thankfully committed the greatest strategic blunder of the 20th century hands down and sunk our Naval fleet. They brought the fight to us. The US was quite fond of eugenics and practiced it in asylum before and after WW2.

    We fought back. That isn't being a hero, that isn't coming to save the day. That's self-preservation.

    The closest we've ever been to the good guys was at our founding, and even that was complicated.

  • Too bad they won't address all the "Christians" that make it their mission to live drunk on cruelty and schaudenfreude.

    If being Christian has anything to do with honoring and following the tenets of Jesus of Nazareth as written in the New Testament, there isn't a single Christian in the Republican party.

    They use Jesus like a mask or totem to be on "I win morality" base while almost exclusively advocating inhuman atrocities like destroying families and doing the opposite of everything in their supposed own book they've clearly never read.

    It's not like they try but fall short either. This isn't no true Scotsman, all they do is hate. When is the last time you've seen a Republican express love for anyone that wasn't rooted in angering (hating) their innumerable enemies? Is Jesus not love?

  • That's both party's strategy since Reagan got his former opposition on the take.

    Thats what both parties are bribed for.

    Stoke social issue wedges and protect our oligarchs grift economy from us.

    You can have scapegoating and oligarchal exploitation or affirmation ribbons and oligarchal exploitation. That has been the extent of our voter's power for half a century.

    Im glad the Dems support trans rights, and vote for them as harm reduction, but don't pretend DNC neoliberal democrats give a shit about a poor Trans person's right not to die in an underpass of exposure for the crime of being poor as a warning to the other poors.

  • Nancy Pelosi dedicated the month before Trump was inaugurated to ensuring AOC, a spoiler leftist in a sea of her crony neoliberals, didn't get an oversight committee seat.

    Neoliberals Democrats hate actual leftwing politicians far more than they hate their fascist opposition party. Makes sense, Fascists and neoliberals have the same bosses and take the same bribe checks.

  • Good thing I don't have that.

    If I did, I'd help protect the system when the molitovs start flying at it like a good house slave, I hope to assist when it isn't just me, as that would just be suicide by cop.

    This isn't class war, this is 50 years of class occupation and counting. Peaceful positive change has been made impossible here on multiple levels by the owners. I put my hope in the other thing, as that's the only rational place left to put it.

  • The DNC would murder her if she broke through their primary defenses and got close enough.

    They're fine with losing, the pendulum is part of the grift, what they aren't fine with is losing their half of that bipartisan oligarch gravy train. Our capitalists don't bribe both parties to have those parties stand against economic metastasis at all human cost.

    We can have affirmation ribbons and be sucked dry by the oligarchs, or we can have scapegoating and be sucked dry by the oligarchs, that is the extent of our "freedom." Reagan and Kemp saw to that by getting their former opposition on the take.
