I'm tired of the future being destroyed by billionaires.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

Who just so happen to wholeheartedly support the Republican agenda in the US, with the exception of Gates.

You don’t make billions by supporting fair wages, labor unions, health and safety regulations, affordable and accessible healthcare, social programs, socialized infrastructure, and higher taxes on the wealthy.

To be fair, there are plenty of billionaires backing the dems too, they're just a bit more subtle about their intentions, but they are not pioneers of the working class.

Of course the dems getting in in 2024 mightve slowed the roll of fascism, but it would've just delayed it rather than solved any of the underlying issues. With the exception of some truly progressive members of the party, the dems are basically just there to uphold the status quo.

Most of the billionaires that back the republicans also back the democrats, and the democrats also have their fair share of billionaires funding/controlling their candidates all their own. It is a uni-party system that puts on a kabuki show of 'right vs left' for their entertainment. Stop buying tickets for it!

Im tired of the purely performative nonsense in modern democratic party as well. For the resources and votes that go their way they always find a way to deliver nothing, or actively betray us all. Supporting far rightwing genocide, pissing on progressives and progressive causes, and utterly ignoring the working class in the last ~10 elections (since Carter) are prime examples of this.

Time to toss the traitors out the door and clean this party out.

Not just Republicans, conservatives in general. All Republicans are conservative, but many Democrats are as well. That needs to change.

Mamdani shows it’s possible to start the purge of the DNC. We need to continue that. Primary every last conservative. Drive them from the DNC, drive them from politics, drive them from political discourse and public life. Authoritarianism must be crushed, Constitutional rights must be restored, and common sense policies for real people must be enacted. If we can’t achieve that, then all is lost and totalitarian neofeudalism will prevail.

Not just Republicans, conservatives in general.

You are correct! I tend to use the two interchangeably when I know that conservatives pushes out to a larger group.

And frankly, anyone who acts like this was just another election where one side lost is only slightly higher on the totem pole than conservatives are.

Just worth saying again for the tankies that are very passionate, but seemingly not enough to vote or organize material change. As disappointing as the dems maybe they are still the home of the little progressive wing we have, and we should work into growing it.

You can blame only Republicans which even if they disappeared wouldn't solve the issue, or you can acknowledge that both parties are corrupted by oligarchs and PACS

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 days ago (4 children)

While I agree with your premise, its very disingenuous to imply a lot of issues wouldnt be solved/improved if Republicans blinked out of existence like a Thanos Snap.

I’m tired of the future being destroyed by capitalists/christian nationalists. That’s been happening for hundreds and thousands of years, every time they gain power, no matter where or when. Republicans are relatively new to this game.

I’m also tired of society having to relearn this lesson at great loss of life and suffering, over and over.

We’re smarter than this, and we far outnumber them.

I just want free public transit, affordable housing//rent/food/bills and some free time to actually enjoy being alive, is that too much to ask?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 6 days ago

Republicans: Yes, you entitled whiny millenial. Also, no one wants to work. Also you are probably a groomer.

I'm tired of this country sucking all the fucking life out of me.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 6 days ago (5 children)

I'm tired of rich and/or petty people controlling us. We're better than this.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (6 children)

Left or right we're getting fucked one way or the other. The whole foundation's been corrupted to the core.

It's like every debate, any talk of politics is pointless and anything truly reasonable is quickly surpassed overpassed by political "sports team" entertainment while people with real [heartless] willpower continue to do what they do. And I mean that from the streets to the president. The corruption is the same essence and the same evil at any wealth status, education, or social position and all of it is the rotted part of the foundation the country is built upon.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago (5 children)

That seems like a completely nihilistic and empty view of politics. What do you even actually think a society that isn't "corrupt" (or at least is less corrupt) could look like? How can you blame the people with no power at all just as much as the president?

Blaming everyone for everything is basically the same as blaming nobody for anything.

It's fine to think that the vast majority of people believe in propaganda or are worried about things that don't matter.

My main problem really is with you saying "any talk of politics is pointless". It's just complete doomerism.

You don’t really have a left, not at the moment. It’s getting better but oh my god the disasters it took for your shithole country to start to rally…

Nothing makes the Right happier than when someone on the Left says that there's no hope.

Look at NYC. The Dem candidate for Mayor is being threatened with deportation and arrest for being a Communist.

The fight isn't over until we give up.

How about tired of the uni-party system! We need real change, politicians who care about the workers, not corporations and their oligarchs.

My optimism for the future is dead at this point. Even if we miraculously have a collective pivot into sustainable practices tomorrow, this train ain't stopping in my lifetime. Maybe it'll be better for future generations, I sincerely hope it is and I'll keep doing what I can to ensure that. But my future is doomed to dealing with the mess that unchecked greed and exploitation has wreaked upon our world.

Unbelievable that there are some Americans in politics who wake up every day and consciously decide they want to destroy everything around them.

Unbelievable that there are some Americans in politics who wake up every day and consciously decide they want to put their foot on someone else's neck so that they can feel superior, even if it means they are worse off.

As an outsider you're both just as bad as each other, Republicans and Democrats

I would raise both hands, so we can include the Democrats as well.

Both are part of the problem. Along with their owners.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 days ago (4 children)

One of them is certainly a much larger problem.

My list of "ways conservatives have fucked or tried to fuck me or people I care about" goes all the way back to age 13.

I'm not a cheerleader for democrats, but I think we can make our own thread to bitch about them. Only one party is speedwalking us to the 4th Reich right now.

This is a long standing plan mainly by the Heritage Foundation and the GOP. Musk hacked vote tabulations to deliver them a victory and they're quickly dismantling America. They stand to inherit lifelong positions in the government without actual elections similar to Russia. There are less than a few thousand people responsible for all of this. Societies degrade rapidly under these scenarios. Remember them when if that happens.

No he didn't. Unfortunately, americans are just that stupid. Thats the same rhetoric conservatives were trying to use when they lied about dominion.

Things would still be shit if Democrats were in power instead, just a bit less so. It's not like everything was rosy under the very recent Biden administration. The two party duopoly needs to be dismantled and it should be a matter of priority for Americans.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (10 children)

Oh I must have missed when Biden sold off public lands, sent masked thugs all over the country to lock up American citizens and anyone with a darker complexion away in concentration camps, gutted consumer protection, corporate oversight, environmental oversight, and every other agency that works for the people and not him, fired everyone in government not loyal to him, and sold of our national secrets to Russia. Must I go on because I have a whole notepad dedicated to keeping track of this shit. You cannot in good faith argue what you're arguing. You're just further pushing the Russian narrative meant to keep us so divided we can't progress. The Dems are by no means perfect but it's like comparing an apple with a few brown spots to a truck tire. I'd rather eat the apple.

I agree. Trump is just a symptom of the problem. People didn't like Biden. They just didn't want Trump. With the wealth gap widening and the national debt interest costing more than our defense budget, there is no way our path was sustainable. It's one thing Elon said I agree with. I just wish we could have dealt with our shit without half the country being kneejerk about it and deciding they would just rather hate and alienate everyone while we deal with the natural consequences of our inevitably collapsing system. The collapse was coming regardless, but they needed everyones racist anger and inferiority complexes to accelerate it.
