The Republicans are a mass shooter massacring children inside a school
The Democrats are the Uvalde police department
They’re just standing around holding their dicks LETTING it happen completely unopposed.
Best analogy I’ve seen so far, thanks so much.
they aren’t the first person to say that i’ve seen this week, but they are the first person i’ve seen pass it off as their own.
I hadn’t read it as “theirs”, I assume they heard it somewhere and are repeating it just as I plan to do.
Not all of them, but yeah you’re right.
Everything is an over generalization. Nothing is black and white. Only a sith deals in absolutes.
Sith Lord Kelvin
Lmao took me a second but yeah, as always, not everything haha
Secretly cheering on the school shooters
…and the American people are the citizens of Uvalde safe in their homes watching it live on their screens.
No, the US populace is the town of Uvalde then overwhelmingly voting GOP again immediately following their completely preventable tragedy.“Learn nothing, be more confident” is our real motto.
I think your “no” could have been a “yes, and” because I’m right there with thou on this.
“thou”!?
Seriously wtf, autocarrot?
The Citizens of Uvalde not feel “safe” whilst watching their children FUCKING DIE, LIVE, IN REAL-TIME, actually.
They didn’t inundate the school and take care of the problem themselves.
controlled opposition.
Doubting that this is the case, seeing how they are trying to push back against protests against Republicans, is just delusional. I refuse to believe them to be so incompetent, that they constantly act against their own interests and boost MAGA message instead. Bernie gets way more attention from the public than everything they are doing right now combined, and they barely acknowledge he exists.
They deliberately act incompetent. And they have the same interests as the other side of the uniparty since they have the same donors and are ment to serve them, not the public.
And it’s not their own controlled opposition Bernie that they want to shut up or furiously andsuddenly competently work to get off the ballots, but real left 3rd party candidates.
They have their Bernies and squad members for the sole reason to keep their voters running away from them.
I am becoming a believer that it isnt weakness, its complicity. The weakness is just a good facade to hide the truth.
It also shouldnt be surprising, the government is just a capitalist mouth piece.
“Fuck you I got mine” should be printed on our money
It goes against their interests to promote class consciousness, same applies to any electoral party (even those considering themselves on the left), not just the dems or liberal parties of Europe. Class consciousness develops outside the electoral system.
Yup, rich exist in both sides of the political spectrum. The war between the right and the left is there to distract from the more important class war.
The existence of class war is a Leftist stance, are you referring to Democrats as the “left” or Leftists as the left? I agree that political theater is a distraction, but this wording is confusing.
It’s a big club, and we’re not in it.
It’s actually a small club, and we could make our own big club with healthcare and housing
And blackjack and hookers?
Dealers and sex workers should absolutely be pro-labor-party.
"I affirm your identity! You’re free to be who you are without shame! As you die in a cardboard box under a freeway of exposure for failing to be exploited well enough, and as an intentional threat to the other poories to keep laboring for their corpo bribers. 🤷
Ooh, but here, have a ribbon! I hear they’re quite tasty when boiled."
They’re not the primary villain, those are the corpo Fascists, but they’re sure as shit the bumbling secondary antagonist. The Denethor to Sauron.
Its all wedge issues. Keep us arguing about stuff that doesn’t get in the way of capitalism and you wont demand a better life. Hell many of us will even defend the party that aligns with our side of a wedge issue because “At least it isnt the other one i hate”, and while i understand voting for the lesser evil, we all do it, I will never understand defending the lesser evil. If 2 people are stabbing me to death I wont thank the one using a smaller knife.
“4/5 stabees confirm: Small knife party much preferred to Big knife party!”
“QUIT ATTACKING SMALL KNIFE PARTY FOR STABBING YOU! AT LEAST THEY’RE TRYING TO STAB YOU LESS” - Every pro DNC argument.
The power of the status quo flows through me
The tyranny of small donors has left me scarred and deformed.
Democrats are insidious like that, they lull you to sleep with petty reform (inaction) then all of a sudden your neck deep in some insane culture war with all these niche idealogies vying for uber-commodification meanwhile theres a mass congregation of rabid reactionary literal hitlerites spurned on by the media to act as a defense for the rich mfers.
Everyone is seeing for their own interests. We really need people in power that HATE being in a power.
I mean, politicians get paid pennies compared to CEO-s with massive risks, why would any intelligent & honest person consider being a politician. Cold fact is, being an honest politician is the worst employment opportunity ever.
I hold true to the notion that a representative government with representatives selected at random would be much better then what we have.
There would still be appointed positions but replace most elected posistions with a lottery and go from there.
On point
Can you please explain?
Democrats talk big game, but somehow always seem to be too weak to get anything done. However, when it comes to suppressing the Left and trying to prevent worker radicalization, they are mysteriously competent in comparison.

I think this is because of FDR
Not really, it’s more caused by being a mainstream party in a bourgeois democracy.
That’s one of the reasons. Another reason is FDR painted Democratic Party as party for the workers with his social policies when served as president
Kinda? That wasn’t because of FDR, more it was a response to increasing Communist sympathies as a way to prevent revolution. FDR was responding to the political climate, it wasn’t a decision made out of context.
When republicans are in power democrats are powerless because they are in the minority When democrats are in power they somehow are still powerless to do anything meaning full because "republican are preventing " them from doing anything The only time they seem to be able to do something is to crush any attempt to change the status quo in favor of the working class.
