“There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party … and it has two right wings: Republican and Democrat. Republicans are a bit stupider, more rigid, more doctrinaire in their laissez-faire capitalism than the Democrats, who are cuter, prettier, a bit more corrupt — until recently … and more willing than the Republicans to make small adjustments when the poor, the black, the anti-imperialists get out of hand. But, essentially, there is no difference between the two parties.”

No they won’t, these are in fact further evidence that the millions of voters who sat out of the election were AT FAULT for refusing to vote for Kamala. They were the ones who RUINED the pristine functioning of the American democracy.
Expect maximum smugness from the libs when minorities are threatened by fascist gangs, when immigrants are getting deported (“Latinos voted for Trump! Let’s see how they like it now!”), when Gaza is going to fare much worse under Trump’s plan etc.
In fact, the more suffering there are, the more vindicated they will feel about themselves - a self-reinforcing loop that will make them double down on voting for the Democrats and bullying the people who refused to do so.
I know we both despise and utterly loathe reddit liberals, but honestly we don’t hate them enough.
They’ll forget about this lol
I wish I kept a screenshot of the time a
user told me that it’s actually good that the entire goddamn nation bends to the whims of a bunch of backwoods numbskulls.But if the democrats broke a norm, then Republicans could do the same thing! Sure, they’re doing it now even though we upheld it, but don’t you see? Now, the voters will see that they broke the rules
It’s over Drumpf, we have the moral high ground!
😤
nooooo, not the rules
😔
Remember when Stone Cold Steve Austin became the biggest thing in wrestling by just sitting back and taking it when he got screwed out of the championship time and time again?
It’s so easy to get behind a complete and total chump!
If there’s one thing that’s absolutely reviled in American culture, it’s a loose cannon who doesn’t play by the rules.
Yeah but they won’t. It’s always performative outrage and them a Dem comes into office.
watching the whole federal payment system get overturned by some incels with laptops after years of getting told that the parliamentarian was an insurmountable obstacle to wiping some numbers in a spreadsheet
You wouldn’t want to hurt the parliamentarians feelings though? They’re just a widdle guy.
Ok I’ve tuned out of a lot of American politics recently. Anyone want to clue me into what the dems excuses were and what Trump has accomplished?

How do I acquire this ability
Whenever Dems have had the opportunity to enact substantive laws, they stumble across ‘the parliamentarian’ or some other hurdle that prevents [progressive thing] from happening.
Trump has let Elon’s sycophantic minions loose in DC as the DOGE: Department of Govt Efficiency. They have full admin on multiple systems in the Treasury Dept, they are ‘fixing problems’ with the aviation safety systems, they were supposed to be visiting Labor Dept today, etc. Basically, the old ratchet effect of US politics.
they are ‘fixing problems’ with the aviation safety systems
In my opinion this is because of that account that existed on Twitter entirely to track and publish the location of Musk’s private jet.
GOOD post
They aren’t laissez-faire, they just want slightly different types of control. Deregulating a group and adding some subsidies is just a different way to reward your buddies, but neither is representative of a free market.
I’m not sure how you guys view regulation as a whole, but an inordinate amount of it exists to help corps rather than us.
lawfare, regulatory capture, monopolies, proprietary lock-in, planned obsolescence are all attempts to cope with the tendency of the rate of profit to decline
this is another reason a large portion of the US economy is now the trading of financial assets and services associated with trading, doing actual production is much more difficult to keep profitable
There’s a reason it’s somehow profitable to have trees of businesses larger than some cities when nobody in any of that structure makes a fucking thing.
I’d be interested in seeing what things would look like if we didn’t let people offload liability to society.
I think workers owning their means of production is about as short as you can make that line of connection
capitalism is based in the abstraction and obfuscation of that line of connection
That is the shortest chain and ultimate goal. Peeps can group up, but still have to be able to handle the risk they take on. Once people become chess pieces or statistics in an org there’s no way for a human to consider them as individuals, regardless of that person’s psychology - the structures we have turn good people into monsters as surely as religious zealotry.
