I think it’s a fucking asshole for not throwing citizen Trump in a deep dark prison cell the second he stepped out of the White House.
Trump making the capitalist hellhole worse, does not make the capitalist hellhole acceptable. No matter if the presidents name was Trump, Biden, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush or Reagan.
An economy that cannot provide access to basic healthcare and education for its citzens is a failed economy, no matter how high the price tags of stocks traded by coked up psychopaths are.
If Biden or Harris were president now live would be better for millions, perhaps even billions, of people on this planet.
Both sidesing this it lazy and ineffective.
Going for the “lesser of two evils” over the past 40 years at least is what brought us to Trumps presidency. In particular Biden and Harris brought us to his second presidency, embracing the support of Dick Cheney, which is a Bush era war criminal Republican foreign invader mass murderer.
Yes i both side this. The Democrats in their current shape are a big part of the problem and they oppose getting towards a solution. Because a solution would be against the US oligarchy and the DNC is equally representing that oligarchies interests. Just the flavor of oligarchs is different between the two parties.
No people voting for Trump or sitting out elections got us a Trump presidency.
Both sidesing that fact is lazy and ineffective.
I agree, people should have challenged Biden and Harris in the primaries.
They should have voted non aligned and disrupted DNC events until a proper primary was held. The inaction in pushing the Democrats to bringing up a non genocide, non mass deportations, non economically cynical and classist towards the poor candidate was an issue. However that should not distract us from the institution that fought against getting any such candidate and instead pushed Biden until it was unbearable and then switched to Harris.
The inaction of the people was part of the problem. As the largest block was non voters, if these had went for an agreed upon third party instead, they could have made the presidential race even if the DNC kept blocking any progressive candidate.
At least now many people become fully aware of the true colors of the US empire and the evil it does to its citizens and people all over the world. Many people before deemed these acceptable under a Democratic president. Now is the chance to rebuild a proper political and economic system in the US. This is why it is so crucial to not let the Democrats off the hook either. There will be no healing in the US as long as the Republican and Democrat elites remain in power.
When Biden won the first primary the choices were Trump or Biden.
When he stepped down and Harris won the second primary the choices became Trump or Harris.
Either Biden or Harris would have been much better choices then Trump so both sidesing this is lazy and ineffective.
There wasn’t a proper primary for Biden. There was no primary for Harris. She just got all the delegates pledged from Biden. And they were destined to make sure that Trump or a similiar candidate would win the 2028 election if he didn’t win already in 2024. And this is a continuation of the Clinton campaign, that almost comically made sure that Trump would be the only one addressing the issues of working class Americans.
The biggest problem with reactionary progressives right now is that they want yo tear down the system without putting in the effort to rebuild a new one.
Trump is a clear and present danger to many people right now and Biden or Harris would be much better.
After they won their primaries it was a choice between them or Trump so both sidesing this situation is both lazy and ineffective.
Can we have Clinton’s economy again?
The true death of American manufacturing, an overvalued tech bubble that will bring down the global economy, and massive deregulation of financial rules that will end in the worst financial crisis since the Great depression?
That’s the economy you want?
I think Biden was an empty suit who personally didn’t do anything while president…
And a shit ton of “moderates” from his admin and mainstream media are writing books about how true that is.
Why the fuck do so many people want to act like trumpets do with trump and just deny reality to cheer their “team” no matter what?
without background & historical knowledge of our political posturing, it becomes little more than a red vs blue team sports and i bet it’ll stay that away until there aren’t enough people whose lives are untouched by the ghoulery to change things.
And we saw the results of that with Republicans where any flaw or mistake is ignored…
Are republican voters getting what they want out of that arrangement? Or is their blind loyalty being exploited?
Now, everyone seems to understand how that is bad…
So why do people think both parties doing that would be better?
If it’s just about winning elections, why not also run a candidate that agrees with the base, then ask for people to vote for the lesser evil if it’s still not what voters want?
Why start with someone far to the right of the Dem voters base?
Why meet fascists halfway? When has that ever worked out?
the “lesser evil” argument hits an absurd new low when both lesser evils options are kind-and-gentle-genocide or mask-off-genocide; yet you have people who THOROUGHLY believe that it’s practical choice and are so out of touch that the denigrate people for not cooperating in the genocide.
As a foreigner I think all American presidents on my lifetime have been pieces of shit and America is a hopeless hell hole. Fucking 10 corporations in a trench coat pretending to be a government.
Yeah I really wish there was some kind of patent reform so a company can only hold a patent long enough for the work to create the innovation to be worth the pursuit of it.
Instead they will use patents to stifle innovation and stop people from being able to compete with new ideas based on an original innovation. The patent system was supposed to foster innovation, not stifle it.
Ive never seen any politician on any side do anything about the aggressive use of patents. Companies will buy out companies just for the patents. Its obviously a big issue that reworked would make it harder for a corporation to thrive without continuing to innovate and provide what the people really want or need.
Yeah it was decided initially so that the creator could still benefit from it and recoup r&d costs before a third party could copy their design without the r&d and be able to sell the product cheaper.
But now companies just patent any idea without using them just so other companies can’t.
If a company doesn’t use their patent within a certain time frame it should be completely revoked.
