    Maybe try not being neoliberals and building an economy that rewards honest labor over speculative, insider info laden, increasingly abstract (credit default swaps, stock shorting, etc) GAMBLING, and never at the expense of those that need help the most.

    It hasn’t been tried in living memory.

    But we all know you’ll be back in two years promising to protect our beloved society economy.

    Corporate enslavement, but with rainbow ribbons. Better than literal murdererous fascists, sure, but that’s like saying be content being led by a murderer instead of a cannibal murderer. Fuck being enthusiastic about that choice.

    When I vote blue out of harm reduction, and I have like clockwork for 20 years, it has felt like going to a fucking funeral every single cycle, because there’s never anyone to vote for, only against as even worse.

    The only happy voters only ever seem to be the racists and Christian cultists voting to hurt others as its own end, because they’ve been too deluded to see the unrepretent capitalist oligarchs are their enemies.

        I’m extremely confident there will be an “election” in two years.

        Whether with or without quotes is what remains to be seen.

        Oh we’ll have elections. They’ll just have that “Russia” flavor to them. The kind of elections where you don’t really need to have them.

    Yeah, it seems like everyone just want silent after the election. Have barely heard anything from the Democrats. This is going to take a while to get over, isn’t it?

    Still can’t believe that January 6th ended up meaning absolutely nothing to people. Wild.

      Honestly Dems look like a Karen standing at the counter with her mouth wide open, looking at the other customers for justice after the manager told her to go f*luck herself. And nobody seems to care.

      Karen needs to learn that she doesn’t get to set the rules. She needs to shut up and learn them if she’s ever going to get satisfaction.

    Let’s just hope some military brass arrests him when he tries to abolish the constitution or something.

    If he’s not a threat to America (domestic) then I’m a moon rock named Phil McCracken.
