The beginning step is convincing the poors to care more about “the economy” than their own lives.
They want the poor slaving away to keep raising corporate profits with a smile on their face.
It’s why it’s so concerning that Dems are doing it now too. They’re literally the only thing standing between us and fascism, the problem is they won’t stop jogging over to the fascists.
We need a party that actually fights the fascist, not just hang out on the other side of a velvet rope but still in the same club.
For them the problem with fascism is that it is poorly marketed, rather than it being abhorrent.
Do they have a problem with it?
From the last three elections that have featured trump, it seems like the DNC loves fascism because it lets them run terrible candidates that spent decades trying to get to be president.
It’s only worked 50% of the time, and a random candidate would easily win.
So to me, it looks like the DNC was just waiting for a reason to run less popular and less progressive candidates.
trump gives them an excuse to shout down anyone that wants to hold the DNC to any standard what so ever.
We see the games they play and it appals us. Unfortunately it’s the only game in town. To change the game, you’re not only fighting the DNC and RNC, but network effect and inertia. And some of us don’t have the luxury to risk it. Even if it leads to a better world.
And some of us don’t have the luxury to risk it. Even if it leads to a better world.
To bring it back full circle:
Poverty literally rewires our brains and makes us plan on very very short timescales.
Feeling like you don’t have the luxury to plan ahead is both parties playing on normal human thinking to take advantage of you.
They keep you poor, and you can’t see through their bullshit.
Nothing will ever be fixed if we’re always ignoring the long-term and just taking any crumbs were offered now.
We get the option of a shit sandwich or a single baloney sandwich a day.
Obviously the bologna is better, but it’s not enough to live off of, we’re just going to starve slower.
Missing the fourth panel, where Moneybags shoves one of the workers over the line and announces “They hate you for your success!”, while the rest of the crowd stabs the outsider with pitchforks.
Biden told me the economy is doing super duper well right now
At least it’s not completely shut down like it was under your boy Trump’s presidency.
That’s like the difference between getting two slices of shit in your shit-sandwich or just getting one.
We got tax breaks for the rich and a handout to business owners while the rest of us got a couple extra paychecks for all that time things were shut down. This was all because we had our pandemic response plan killed by Trump because Obama had put it together. We also didn’t bother taking a hard stance on border crossings like New Zealand did early in the pandemic even in easy areas to do it like Hawaii.
The Covid pandemic response was 100% on Trump and his buddies.
I was in Finance at the time of the 2008 Crash and keenly watched the response to it from around the World, including Barack Obama.
If you think the handouts for the rich started with Trump, I have a bridge to sell you.
So you’re saying, hypothetical socialist nations would be justified being nationalist? Perhaps we should call it national socialism 🤔
Pure bait.
