    1. Kids weren’t being forced back to labour in factories by the CEO of Amazon -see Florida.

    2. State Prison populations logarithmically dwarf federal prison populations, overwhelmingly Red States With Mississippi, Lousiana, Oklahoma, Idaho, Arizona, Texas, Georgia as the magnificent 7. All notoriously with a racial bias. No democrat president would have made the move or received the support necessary to dismantle private prisons at this point in history. What Trump is doing is not legal, you cannot rule by executive order, the judiciary are just all bought or neutered right now.

    3. Biden’s white house was about economic recovery because that was what was most important after Trump racked up the deficit. America enjoyed the lowest impact of inflation with the most economic regrowth of any country in the world after COVID. Things are significantly worse elsewhere. Inflation was going down under Biden, but social media gaslit the nation into believing it was way worse and once again that Trickle down economics would fix it.

    4. Crashing and burning the global economy was Big Tech’s goal, under Biden the judiciary ordered Alphabet to break up Google’s monopoly. It was just too late to happen at that point. No other government gave enough of a shit about our personal privacy and freedom to attempt to break the single largest corporate spy network in the history of existence. The democrats didn’t do everything we wanted them to, that doesn’t mean they didn’t make some very important and historically significant moves.

    5. There was no presidential immunity until the very end of Biden’s presidency at which point he was in noticeable mental decline and there was no supreme court stacked in his favour.

    It’s not black and white, is all I’m saying. The constant self-criticism is what splits the Democratic party, reduces the turnout and allowed corporatism the opening to advantage themselves. We’re lucky Trump still has the energy to rule without having the mental faculties to let others call all the shots. Sometimes, better than literal fascists is enough.







  • I mean absolutely no offence in this response, but if I might articulate myself further. The enemy of progress and the cause of this most egregious regression in The United States is division. Holding idealised standards of how political parties should be in the current political climate, is disingenuous virtue signalling and disregards how politics work(s)ed in America with AIPAC, corporate lobbying and a two party system of First Past The Post elections. I am not telling you you’re wrong, quite the opposite. I agree with you. I am instead asking you to contextualise your (valid) outrage into the broader scope of American politics. If we do not defeat the orange menace, there will never be any progressives holding office, ever. You are right to want further change, but right now our division only serves the ruling class. The fact is, at this moment in history, you cannot get elected to any federal office of the United States without the support AIPAC. It is wrong, it is unjust, it serves the purpose of warmongers, I understand. As does the act of poor Americans purchasing cheap clothes imported from China. Yet, there is no choice for the poor who rely on them to clothe themselves and their children. I see you comment a lot and I am glad to see that, because you obviously care. I recognise your frustrations with Centrist Democrats. Of course they’re impotent, they themselves are multimillionaires, just trying to hold on to their investments and not have their families disappeared. Spineless. Democrats are always targeted for their failings, both by republicans and from within the party and support is often split because of it. While republicans disregard all criticism and stay united through their hatred and obfuscation of the truth. They live with this absurd cognitive dissonance and they still won, because they are united. You can be right about everything, without also serving the purposes of our enemy. If they prevail, when they finally crush every last one of us. It will be because there was no united opposition. It does not matter how correct you are today my friend, being right won’t matter. “I told you so” means nothing in Hell.
