Late Stage Capitalism

It's not weird at all. It's completely normal. Both "parties" serve the same system designed by literal enslavers.

There was a referendum to tax the rich in Illinois and it fucking failed, by a lot. We don't live in a liberal country. We live in a center-right country with strong far right tendencies.

My favorite Mamdani quote:

For far too long, our party has seen its job as managing decline instead of delivering material change for working people,” Mamdani said at a rally headlined by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. “It has seen its job as explaining why we cannot instead of showing how we can

And I don't think it is accidental. I think Schmuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are Manchurian MAGAs who sold out the Democrats a long time ago. Even if they aren't doing it purposefully, their cowardly and insipid behavior is 50% of the reason that MAGA regained power. They should be out of politics for that alone, they certainly haven't done ANYTHING to prove they deserve a second chance at punishing MAGA. They didn't do it when they had the chance, they aren't going to do it in the future.

We should all be calling our Democratic representatives, and strongly demand that they vote AGAINST Schmuck & Jeffries for leadership. Start now, so everybody knows going into the Midterms that they can expect substantial change by the new Democratic Party.

First glimmer of hope in a long time has been Mamdani. Every week I feel like I hear about something new and great and it's weird actually seeing what someone can actually do.

Because Republicans are paid by the elite to make people suffer

And Democrats are paid by the elite to make people suffer.

Why are there no populist socialists? I mean people like Milei or Trump, but unapologetically radical far-left, who bring a chain saw to slash landlords, or implement a myriad of taxes that hit the wealthy. They would be incredibly popular. I don't want timid liberals who worry that capitalists emigrate to evade taxes. I want dyed-in-the-wool Marxists who confiscate their property and let them flee to whatever country wants them or put them in camps if they don't behave.

The long standing joke has been the Republicans are the party of bad ideas and Democrats are they party of no ideas.

If we could get the money out of the politics, then maybe things would be different. But both parties are just greedy cocksucking bootlickers.

It’s also weird how fascist policy like mass surveillance is going up at the same pace in blue states.

ITT: Excuses from people who like that the only thing democrats are willing to accomplish is weapons sales for genocide.

Cuz they all complicit. Democrats just argue about how fast and how much damage to do to get there. Rich ppl on both sides have rich ppl personality traits in common, they are just less or more psychopathic or narcissistic. They could all be like Dolly Parton and they choose, everyday, to be something else.

It takes more to build than to destroy. Not weird at all

Well Hakim Jeffries has been SECRETLY meeting with an UNELECTED SON OF THE DICTATOR to discuss the fate of OUR FUCKING republic.

ya don't say...

Well ... most of the so called "Democrats" are also corrupt conservatives. They just don't follow the Orange Fellon Rapist Turd

I expect at best it'll be business as usual when typical Democrats are elected. They won't persecute and prosecute Trump, they won't reverse most of his abhorrent policies and POs, won't restuff the SCOTUS with people who think over follow entirely a rhetorical edict, etc. etc.

I'm convinced those people saying no to revolution, it could make things worse, don't realize it's about as bad as it can get right now. When you're starting to pound at bedrock, going up is much easier.

When those Epstein files first dropped, it's like "Well the people in charge of every nation actually believe they work for Satan" and they've been shoving war and AI and shit so far down our throats in the hope they can get us all to forget that the curtain was actually pulled away for a second but I don't think I can forget that
