    Who just so happen to wholeheartedly support the Republican agenda in the US, with the exception of Gates.

    You don’t make billions by supporting fair wages, labor unions, health and safety regulations, affordable and accessible healthcare, social programs, socialized infrastructure, and higher taxes on the wealthy.

    To be fair, there are plenty of billionaires backing the dems too, they're just a bit more subtle about their intentions, but they are not pioneers of the working class.

    Of course the dems getting in in 2024 mightve slowed the roll of fascism, but it would've just delayed it rather than solved any of the underlying issues. With the exception of some truly progressive members of the party, the dems are basically just there to uphold the status quo.

    You can blame only Republicans which even if they disappeared wouldn't solve the issue, or you can acknowledge that both parties are corrupted by oligarchs and PACS

    Not just Republicans, conservatives in general. All Republicans are conservative, but many Democrats are as well. That needs to change.

    Mamdani shows it’s possible to start the purge of the DNC. We need to continue that. Primary every last conservative. Drive them from the DNC, drive them from politics, drive them from political discourse and public life. Authoritarianism must be crushed, Constitutional rights must be restored, and common sense policies for real people must be enacted. If we can’t achieve that, then all is lost and totalitarian neofeudalism will prevail.

    You are correct! I tend to use the two interchangeably when I know that conservatives pushes out to a larger group.

    And frankly, anyone who acts like this was just another election where one side lost is only slightly higher on the totem pole than conservatives are.

    I'm tired of rich and/or petty people controlling us. We're better than this.

    How about tired of the uni-party system! We need real change, politicians who care about the workers, not corporations and their oligarchs.

    Im tired of the purely performative nonsense in modern democratic party as well. For the resources and votes that go their way they always find a way to deliver nothing, or actively betray us all. Supporting far rightwing genocide, pissing on progressives and progressive causes, and utterly ignoring the working class in the last ~10 elections (since Carter) are prime examples of this.

    Time to toss the traitors out the door and clean this party out.

    Unbelievable that there are some Americans in politics who wake up every day and consciously decide they want to destroy everything around them.

    My optimism for the future is dead at this point. Even if we miraculously have a collective pivot into sustainable practices tomorrow, this train ain't stopping in my lifetime. Maybe it'll be better for future generations, I sincerely hope it is and I'll keep doing what I can to ensure that. But my future is doomed to dealing with the mess that unchecked greed and exploitation has wreaked upon our world.

    Yeah, this is kind of my attitude as well, sadly. I'm a younger millennial, but I feel I've been around long enough to determine we're truly just a pot of boiling crabs dragging everyone else down to try to save ourselves.

    I think one of the hardest parts of getting older, at least for me, is watching the childlike wonder and hope for the world within yourself slowly vanish. I'll never stop fighting the good fight, but the light has definitely died in my heart. Honestly, sad as fuck.

    I'm tired of both Democrats and Republicans destroying the future, and people pretending Democrats don't because they do it slightly less

    I’m tired of the future being destroyed by capitalists/christian nationalists. That’s been happening for hundreds and thousands of years, every time they gain power, no matter where or when. Republicans are relatively new to this game.

    I’m also tired of society having to relearn this lesson at great loss of life and suffering, over and over.

    We’re smarter than this, and we far outnumber them.

    Owning class.

    How much in your bank account isn't the point — it is how that money got there. It just so happens that practically nobody ever became a billionaire without the use of exploitation.

    Yet, it is not just billionaires but any who make their income through exploiting their private ownership over the tools, land, and resources which make production possible that, under the capitalist system, entitles those "owners" to the excess value of labor, in the form of profits, that are generated by the working class – individuals who must sell their labor to these owners for a wage – under their employment.

    Just, ah, be careful of the angle you hold it at when you raise it.

    I would raise both hands, so we can include the Democrats as well.

    Both are part of the problem. Along with their owners.
