“Most progressive” is a very low bar to clear given the presidents we’ve had. Unemployment is not controlled by the president. The credit for capping insulin prices should go to Bernie Sanders, who would’ve been the president starting back in 2016 if the democratic party hadn’t insisted on crowning Hillary. We could’ve had a much better president and no Trump!
The problem is that most of the growth goes to the already rich as they pay immigrants poorly and make them pay high rents (hence the need to have multiple families living in a single unit). It’s still a death spiral, just with higher profits for the rich few. The only way to make it not a death spiral is to force the rich leeches to stop sucking the blood out of everyone else.
What else would I stroke while thinking? 🤔
I’m not trying to be profound, I was making a simple point. Just because you refuse to recognize it, doesn’t mean you didn’t ask a loaded question. Sorry to hear that you couldn’t handle this and had to run to your block list to shield yourself from minimal pushback.
This is one area where we’re supposed to benefit from the greatly increased automation. We don’t need a huge mass of people doing make-work. The current situation is that we force people to do make-work to continue making on-paper profits which mostly go to a tiny set of wealthy people. The current situation is unsustainable even if population growth increased because it’s a pyramid scheme. The system relies on infinite growth.
Repeating yourself doesn’t make you any less dishonest.
They made sure he’s the only other viable candidate. I’m sick of the complete lack of actual choice.
The birth rates are low because of the terrible environment that doesn’t support having and raising children. All you’re doing is importing more people who will also barely have any children within a generation or so. Mass immigration is just throwing bodies at the bottom of the pyramid scheme. You can see this in action in Canada where housing is absolutely unaffordable, but large numbers of immigrants are brought in who have to work for shitty wages and live with multiple families in a single rental unit.
The screaming about low birth rate is because corporations want to keep a high labor pool so they can drive down the price of labor while keeping up demand for consumption.
You couldn’t even answer a simple question? Wow, I guess you’re dishonest!
Simple yes or no question: Have you stopped eating poop off the sidewalk?
You think the left could somehow do worse than biden. That’s really all that one needs to know about you. Keep excusing your BS with claims that I’m not reading your posts right. Try writing a post that isn’t a thinly-veiled bashing of the left.
You suspect that progressives could possibly do worse than your decrepit neoliberal king. How is that an incorrect reading of your post?
I just did. Can you ask a non-loaded question?
Of course you view the left with suspicion. All you do is bash the left.
It’s not like democrats just happened to have this happen to them, they actively pushed for this in 2020 when they told all the candidates they could to drop and support Biden while paying for a PAC to keep Warren in the race to split votes with Sanders. They worked harder to fight Sanders than they did to fight Trump. Then democrats made sure to make the 2024 primary as one-tracked as possible, in the name of “unity”. The democrats made their bed and they were content with lying in it until Biden shat in it and they woke up from their little bubble. It’s not like Biden was doing amazing before this, but his debate performance was so bad, even democrats steeped in the kool-aid could see how decrepit their beloved candidate is.
The scary part is that we’re so far deep in this shit that I don’t know if it’s even possible to back out. It’s an oncoming train collision which had its course set back in 2020 (or perhaps even 2016) that many could see coming but democrats chose to ignore because they place upholding the status quo for their donors as the highest priority.
Assange’s hatred of Hillary existed long before the election. He’s not a Russian spy. Just because goals overlap, doesn’t mean they’re allies. It also doesn’t invalidate all the other insightful leaks he helped publish. You speak of honesty yet ironically frame a question in a dishonest manner.
Logically we should care more about the ones who have more influence on our elections. If you actually cared about election interference, you’d want to address the primary source of it, i.e. billionaires. Just because Assange revealed information which might have damaged Hillary’s already garbage campaign, doesn’t mean he’s a Russian spy.
“Domestic” billionaires interfere with our elections far more to the point where it makes what Russia does look like nothing, but you decide to focus on a journalist who exposed information, a fraction of which is information that you think might have helped Russia. I wonder if it’s because of the billionaire-backed media machine telling you to care about this particular instance.
It’s worse than idiocracy, it’s plutocracy.
