People should constantly talk about Democrats being controlled opposition unwilling to speak against the wealthy.

Too bad the only people that matter are corporations.

Cowards?

Pelosi was pretty brave defending insider trading after someone used her husband to stress test their hammer.

They aren't cowards. They're morons or traitors.

They aren't -afraid- to do the right thing.

They're afraid of losing money and power. Or worse, they actually think they're doing a good thing.

That bit makes more sense when you factor in Scotus making corporations people.

That's fine. The Democrat plan is to normalize fascism.

"Both sides are the same" is ultimately true because both empower capitalism's subjugation of democracy. Every time the GOP tugs right and the DNC meets them half way. The greatest accomplishment of the Democrats in the last 20 years is the ACA- designed by the heritage foundation but stripped of the greatest cost savings measures.

Step one: fund raise on trans rights.

Step two: not support trans rights or any meaningful reform for the people.

Step three: keep losing support while leaning ever right

Step four: fail to do fuck all about RvW for 4 decades

Step five: blame trans people for losing by bringing the party "too far left" while continuing to cut corporate taxes and increase police funding as a percentage of municipal budgets

And my boss still says I'm one of the best on the team... 🤷🏼‍♂️

If America saw what America was doing to America...

Some of this is objective. Some is just nostalgia.

You can still download music and play wow. On this front you probably miss simpler times when you weren't aware of problems you are now or resent responsibilities that took you from things you enjoyed and make you feel old.

On the other hand, society globally is markedly worse than before COVID with substantial right-wing shifts.

Unfortunately, end of days accelerationists and techno fascist billionaires have been working quite hard to make the world a worse place for several decades...

So I largely agree. Personally, in terms of skills and assets, I'm in a much better place than I was 2000 years ago. However, in terms of happiness and hope for the future... I actually still had some then.

"Rushing change" is a glorious example of "liberal" media sane washing a fascist coup burning the guardrails to the ground.

Yes, they are part of the system. You're so eager to disagree you don't understand you're making my point.

You all won't be able to fix anything if you're more focused on what feels good to yell about you can't focus on the root cause.

I agree. The bad taste is not that while not wrong per-se, it's just reduces a complex issue into "red bad" while wholly failing to acknowledge that Democrats have been complicit in facilitating the Overton Window this far.

"Progressives" are really hard on the "REPUBLICANS DID THIS!" and never really pick up on the "and Democrats met them half way."

This blue no matter who reduction hopes to hide liberalism is the slow road to fascism.

The problem isn't meany racist MAGAts. It's the entire system spending decades working overtly toward fascism with a bunch of clueless fucking rubes staring complacently.
