VLADIMIR STOP

Soooo Dems won't make it better but least won't make it worse.

So seems like disenfranchisement

So the Dems did make it worse by being terrible at running the country during the 20 years they've been in power over the past 30 years?

They fucked up strategically: creating the material conditions for the rise of Fascism
and they fucked up tactically by running two terrible candidates who abetted genocide in Gaza, and couldn't even be bothered to promise a feeble social democratic programme (which would be less than the bare minimum), and because of this tactical mistake they've lost to fucking Trump who is very clearly an idiot.

Calling it a fuckup implies that Democrats actually care about winning elections and developing the country, which is debatable after all these fuckups and all their anti-left rhetoric...

But they did make it worse, their policies led directly to where the US is now.

It's so fucking ridiculous!

In the past 30 years Dems were in power 2/3 of the time, so they very obviously did contribute to the state of affairs that led to Trump being elected twice!

Or if the country moved rightward regardless of what team the President represents, then it means voting in this system is only ceremonial and completely useless activity.

Either Dems are enablers of Fascists or voting is useless, there's no third option.

A universal right to a job and basic necessities

But then you don't need UBI with a Job Guarantee program with a strong social safety net / high enough unemployment benefit.

And those are counter cyclical by nature, so they are like an automatic fiscal stimulus in recessions, unlike UBI.

That is not the situation today, where most Americans have NO retirement savings. Unless you're redefining what capitalism IS, then that's a problem caused by the people in charge (oligarchs).

Bananas were cheap too... because Western [capitalist!!!!] imperialism supported fascist death squads in Latin America who sold out their country to United Fruit [a capitalist corporation]. It's a whole system of oppression, not just the WASPs you see on Mad Men reruns.

You are the one who is deeply confused.

Capitalism is the private ownership of the means of production. Thinking there was no oligarchy when C. Wright Mills was writing The Power Elite shows that you are not only confused about economic theory, but misinformed about the history of the US as well.

I don't have the bandwidth for a non 'fuck off' reply

You don't have to debate shitlibs on the internet, you won't ever convince them anyway, brainworms burrowed deep, and their response is pure copium

I also had this very same debate years ago and the lib just raged and raged... basically saying that going to the moon worth more points than anything, there's no arguing them out of this "West is always superior" position

NYT, who gives a fuck that he's married and has kids? He's a fucking scumbag.

Also NYT:

12 year old Palestinian men found dead after explosion near Hamas-run alleged hospital

i'm sorry but the kremlin can't find a second russian who wants to prosecute this war.

yeah an interim gov led by Medvedev... he seems very chill about the war

Capital letters suggest it's an NGO

The liberal won't let him

prison population

But they broke the law!

They always do this with the USSR too

When you point out colonial crimes and engineered famines in the colonies of western Empires, that's "unfortunate" and "sure, that's bad too", but USSR "is worse because it did it to its own citizens"

They don't know shit about fuck and they are so arrogant about it too

Good luck on your journey

Yeah, fuck you too
