The democrats were and have never been anti-privitization in the long term. In late stage capitalism you must privitize because you must seek new avenues for profit. So don't laugh at the less fortunate victims of the system that will eat you too. Even the ones you think were asking for it dickhead

This both sides bullshit is what got us here. Yes, the democrats are shit. But we wouldn't have gotten here without republican lead efforts to privatize everything.

So don’t laugh at the less fortunate victims of the system that will eat you too.

I explicitly explained that I wouldn't.

Even the ones you think were asking for it dickhead

Some are very clearly are asking for it. I will shed no tears for them.

I say both sides because it is explicitly true. You can't keep working within the system when the system was never meant to benefit you

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It very clearly isn't true, even for milquetoast democrats:

You can't work at all if you let the system ignore you.

Nice graphs, I have some too

The parties get different funding but neither of them are going to save you from the interests of capital

Their confidence intervals overlap...

In the short term yes, in the long term no.
