Not only do the establishment liberals blame the working class, they see this election as a mandate for their party’s habit of ignoring that class altogether.

Americans REALLY don't like taking about class because it lays bare the stark differences in people's financial situations and those differences make people angry if they see that they've been screwed over; the article is advocating for a cultural sea change that I'd like to see but somehow keeps missing how deep it goes and doesn't address it.

They're so fucking whiny. They literally had a trifecta just over two years ago, and now they're acting like politics is over.

[-] Bloobish@hexbear.net 40 points 1 year ago

It's like 2016 all over again, rinse and repeat when it comes to liberals not wanting to admit liberalism really isn't about fixing the country

[-] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

Trifecta and did nothing with it.

I wish they would give up and let people who actually want to win get a chance. So sick of neoliberal "WE NEED YOUR MONEY OR TRUMP WILL EAT YOUR CHILDREN" bullshit. Give me an actual platform that doesn't include genocide or throw queer/disabled/minorities under the bus and maybe you'll actually have a chance? It's so telling how they never address the eligible voters that refrain from doing so. There will always be non-voters because people are lazy but there's millions that would if YOU ACTUALLY OFFERED THEM FUCKING ANYTHING.

Death to America

That’s great. And what else do you propose?

Look at what Claudia Sheinbaum ran on and what she's doing now that she won in Mexico. A taste: one million houses to be built by the government and offered at cost with interest free mortgages. No developers or other middlemen jacking the price up. The kind of infrastructure project that neoliberals would never dare to even whisper because they would be assassinated by the real estate lobby.

Hm, it just occurred to me that politicians could say they oppose genocide.

We're pretty big on the PSL as an alternative to the Dems around here. Here's their website if you want to give it a look and see what they're all about: https://pslweb.org/

I had hoped that we wouldn't have to deal with you fucks anymore once the election was over, and yet here you are. Please fuck off.

Someone pointed out that this guy looked weirdly similar to Elizabeth Warren, and now I can't unsee it

Liberals please read settlers, it'll all make sense.

[-] MayoPete@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago

Libs don't read books unless they're written by Michelle Obama or have something to do with witches and sparkly vampires falling in love...

Maybe we need some agitprop that explains Settlers in a way libs will understand 🤔

“Trump is Not a Fluke — He’s America,” with a subhead intoning that “the country will get what it deserves,” Mystal writes: “We, as a nation, have proven ourselves to be a fetid, violent people..."

Where's the lie

Can we use this to convert liberals to Maoist Third Worldism? "Now you see, the Amerikkkan elekkktorate is irredeemable."

[-] AmericaDelendaEst@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago

liberals gave up on america already, they tried nothing and are all out of ideas

[-] miz@hexbear.net 37 points 1 year ago

Do you ever think about how our intellectual ancestors a hundred years ago used to say it was "socialism or barbarism" and how we now live in that barbarism? And now we say we have to do something about climate change right now or it's going to be like, very bad for human civilization, and all we have on our side is these fucking liberals? You campaigned with the Cheneys and lost and now it's just fuck the working class.
