    Accepting reality is fine. Gaslighting and covering for an oppressive system is not. Especially since this supposed movement has failed to make any gains with its endless compromises.

    If the movement is only beneficial for the empire and not its victims I care little for it.

      This is an example of where you can slightly tweak it to say “America is supposed to have…” and the entire problem is sidestepped

      You know what Bernie is saying. I agree he can be more direct in this day and age. Anyone who has paid attention to Bernie understands he knows the system is broken

        This is the correct take. Idealism is fine, but proclaiming that the ideals were already practiced, when in fact they were not, does not further the cause.

        In fact it will only delude people into thinking it is not an area which needs improvement.
