ok

I said what I had to say before your characteristically vapid input. If you want more of a reply then be more substantial as a person.

oooo smarm smarm

smuggy smarm smarm… lol smarm smug

That’s you. That’s what you look like.

yeah exactly. when the system is about to blow up, they turn a valve and release a little steam

Not once it gets to that point. The release valve of elections is a hedge against this kind of thing happening in the first place.

Those movements were resolved by murdering their leaders and imprisoning their organizers for several decades.

I guess it’s best to say they do both at the same time

it happened with the antitrust act, it happened with the New Deal, and it happened in the 1960s with the Civil Rights era and the end to Vietnam

The thing that ties all of these exceptions together is the immediate threat of ideologically organized revolutionary cadres mobilizing the masses into a socialist revolution

Any analysis that gives agency to individual voters and not the campaign is blockheaded

The people who didn’t vote for Blue Hitler aren’t the ones who forced Blue Hitler on the ballot.

Twist: the poster above me wanted you to vote for someone actively committing genocide

Felt like context needed to be added because your rhetoric is completely disconnected from reality

And it’s disgusting

combat liberalism (derogatory)

You’re separating government from the capitalists and I don’t think that’s an accurate way of looking at the world. Capital will eat itself even more voraciously than it does right now without some mediating force on itself. Government isn’t a hedge against capitalism that mediates its excesses. It is a PART of capitalism that mediates its excesses. The anti-trust act wasn’t for us; it was for them.

But the reality that capitalism is a fundamentally unstable system can’t be fixed by blunting it. And as the rate of profit goes down, the very restraints that capital put on itself to ensure its survival must be destroyed in pursuit of that profit.

Let’s not forget that a large part of the inflation, and especially on food and housing, was driven by pure greed and opportunism from the capitalists that control those basic necessities. And that’s something that could have been prevented with tools that capital permitted under Ronald Fucking Reagan.

No, sorry, but you don’t get to say that four years later.

The economy got trashed in his last year… but remember how the sparse economic relief that were carried through the democratic congress got completely wiped out as soon as Biden took office? When the democrats took away the child tax credit childhood poverty doubled overnight. And you may say the cause of the inflation was Trump’s mismanagement (And it wasn’t. The supply chain breakdown would have happened no matter who was in office.) what was the democratic response? Fucking Chicago school.

What’s happening is the US empire is not so slowly rotting and material conditions are deteriorating. That’s independent of what party is in power. But both parties are wedded to capital. And voters are hopping from one foot to the other while standing on that hot skillet trying to find relief. You’re not going to find it without overthrowing capitalism. This is the barbarism we were warning you about.

If the US military was overwhelmingly in support of Trump Jan 6 would have gone completely differently.

Good! It’s a shame you were asleep the last four years!

Win what? The conversation with a snarky dipshit debatebro that had already ignored most of what I was saying?

Yay!

I’m not a fan of hers, nor am I credulous to everything she says. But I acknowledge that she has a platform

Doublethink

To be clear

Good thing pedantry exists or you wouldn’t have something to correct me about

I don’t like to be told to read something by people who don’t have any reading comprehension.

She has a platform in the sense that she has a bunch of shit she’s willing to say after a political career of being willing to say literally fucking anything. “It’s just a debate hahaha!”

Oh wait. Did she actually say she’d raise the minimum wage to 15 dollars an hour and you believed her? Did the woman that illegally kept marijuana offenders in prison after the feds directed her to release them in order to use them as slave labor tell you that she’d legalize marijuana AND YOU BELIEVED HER??

Is that why you’re so credulous to every astroturfed line that comes out of their bot farm? You’re just stupid like that?

There are much more rewarding works of fiction to spend that time on

Maybe .ml has good moderation and you’re just insufferable.
