...

You think it's a clock and is only real after 60 years?

Progress is a constant thing. It's pushing a cart up hill. If youre not further up the hill every step, it's not progress.

60 years, 60 months, 60 days, 60 minutes...

The length of time doesn't matter, just that progress happens.

Every well adjusted person should have a shit ton of regrets, because they keep progressing as a human and find prior behavior unacceptable. That's the same for a nation.

Do you legitimately not understand that?

    What is the progress tho?

    There hasn't been any...

    From the early 90s to 2025 the neoliberals controlled the DNC. They kept moving right, so Republicans did the same to differentiate.

    We finally have a non biased DNC again (Obama just ignored it, or wed have gotten in in 2009 and shit never would have gotten this bad)

    That means a neoliberal won't win the next presidential primary, because they could never win a fair primary. It took Hillary hiding behind Bill's charisma to get them the DNC in the first place.

    But all of that was orchestrated by the wealthy to stop progress. They just plan on generational timelines.

    US has been genociding an entire people for the past 3 years.

    Gaza? The government has been enabling it, but acting like it's already America commiting a genocide, just means when/if our government crosses that line, people are numb to it.

    That's a widely used propaganda technique, and trump himself does it all the time. Everytime he says "we may do that" is so some people get outraged early, and that prevents people from getting outraged at the same time.

    Like, I fully understand your intent and that you think you're helping, but you're only helping the oligarchs when you blur lines like this.
