They don’t do the job they were voted in to do. They work for the same oligarchy as the Republicans. They are also inside trading criminals. I think the majority of potential voters ARE progressive (whether they realize it or not) and that’s why so many sit out the elections… Because there’s no one to vote for who will actually do the job they want them to do.

I’d be okay with him going after Pelosi and the rest of the Dem shills… Maybe they’ll do the dirty work and we can start replacing them with progressives who will actually fight for the peasants

Should we all short it at the same time?

You’re probably right, must be time to be done with mere “protests”… How do threats of violence affect revolutions?

Hopefully soon we’re done asking the enemies of the people to play nice

So, WW3 won’t happen until the oligarchy says it’s time. Not sure why now would be the time, but I suppose it could be. There’s like a billion people in the world making a dollar a day, a few billion people only making a few dollars a day… That’s a few billion dollars per day the oligarchy almost certainly thinks belongs in their pocket instead. So I could see them continuing to squeeze the world for every last drop of wealth, which I think will cause unrest in a lot of places. Add climate change to that and I think things just get bad everywhere for most people. Obviously the oligarchy will just go to their islands, yachts, bunkers until a few billion are dead and they can pop back out with their private armies ready to “save” the world.

A lot of people think they need us to buy their trinkets, but the entire consumer middle class is only like 100 years old, and I think was only designed to keep us distracted while they plundered the world. Now that a small handful of people own everything, and soon enough robots and AI will replace most human labor, it’s mission accomplished and we can go back to feudalism where they are gods and everyone else is slaves.

First, it’s the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Uyghurs, same as Israel and the Palestinians.

Second, no excuses here. You brought up the Israeli genocide in a thread that had nothing to do with the genocide and did it in a way so as to seemingly say that China is somehow less corrupt and guilty than the US… It’s not. Neither genocide is excusable or justifiable.

So did/is China… All countries are controlled by the oligarchy. The oligarchy does evil shit in every country.

I agree… What is it like 10% own 90% of the stock market, 1% own 50% or something like that? Major shareholders are the real evil oligarchy… CEOs are just shills they hire to take the bullet, same as politicians but paid better… I’d love to see some playing cards for the real oligarchy… But it’s pretty hard to really track them because they hide behind corporations and shit

Well, best of luck to you

Like 9 years ago… Going great! I think we’re winning lol /s

Gotta get your politics in line… Ranked choice voting was a good start… Is that still a thing?

Making maple syrup is my favorite late winter activity! I suck at it and have no real setup so it always has an ash flavor… But sitting around a fire all day watching sap boil is very relaxing… Almost everyone taps a tree or two at least.

Sorry if you’re stuck there in the Land of Entrapment… Really hope you find a way to escape!

Lol… It’s where Bernie kicked off the revolution

Vermont… I think we could get this done pretty quick… In fact, I bet the rest of the US wouldn’t even notice… Bonus, we’ll bring Bernie.

No… Tis a silly place

Jumped off a moving train and immediately ate shit, dislocated my shoulder… The train did not seem like it was going very fast. We were still at the platform, just getting going.

There’s a gif out there of a guy doing the same thing, that someone edited so he explodes when he hits the ground… Just like that but no explosion… Except the explosion of pain of course

Lol… Well there is, but I get most people don’t like understanding things like that. Let alone discussing them… But the prompt was “what’s your most unpopular opinion” so you know… Wtf

Yes

I believe the jury decides guilt or innocence, but the judge determines the sentence… In most cases
