Yeah it’s all just back to “yeah but my side isn’t as bad as your side” when really it’s just classic class warfare and we’re all trapped in this manufactured bullshit fight.

Democrats are controlled opposition for the billionaire class, and first pass the post makes it damn hard to get out of this ratchet effect pushing us ever farther right.

Sure, I’ll tactically vote for the lesser of two evils. Definitely vote. Maybe we can at least slow things down, and god willing get an actually progressive on the ballot, somewhere, but I do it with my nose held shut.

Not voting doesn’t send any message at all.

I don’t know if MLK was right about the arc of the universe bending toward justice, but I hope so. I just don’t see things getting better unless we can do some good old fashioned trust busting and take at least some control back from the Epstein class.

Wtf

What?

Reagan was far worse than Carter.

Carter was a neoliberal and set the ball in motion for a lot of the worst that capitalism has reeked on the planet

Two things can be true.

both sides are the same

I wasn’t saying that, but looks like that other guy went off the rails so good luck to him.

One side is trying to do the right thing as best they can (even if they fail or get some bad apples).

Oh my sweet, sweet, summer child.

FWIW, I generally agree with you.

Reagan poured fuel on the fire that burned out so many of us, and started a bunch of new ones that didn’t need to be started (War on Drugs comes to mind), absolutely.

OP of comments here made a direct call out that Carter implemented policies that started us on the path of neoliberalism.

You just seem to want to argue that Reagan was worse. That’s an argument that nobody here is on the other side of.

Ah. You can’t even see the point. Got it.

Question: What do you think about the policies that Carter implemented to address stagflation of the 70s?

EDIT: to be clear, I’m not trying to argue one side or the other. I’m just trying to point out that your posts appear to be arguing in bad faith.

Are you arguing in bad faith, or just failing to see how you just failed to address any of this guys points?

I fucking hate this comment. Plenty of other people deserve a comment like this, but not this one.

Is this a copypasta

Is now! yoink
