  • The Florida Republican Party now has a 10-point voter registration lead over Democrats

    Jump

  • Republican Fascists are the Neoliberals "esteemed opposition."

    The few leftists with power are spoiler candidates, because both parties only promote candidates on the basis of their ability to get bribe checks, and are the Neoliberals enemies.

    If you want to see the Democrat party treat a President as a threat to the nation that must be resisted at every turn, just elect President AOC. They're in a power sharing agreement with the Republicans.

  • I pay $15k a year health insurance for my family, it only kicks in after I spend $5k, and a doctor can say I require one thing and the insurance can reject it

  • The country gave them a supermajority and then the bar became "Well you didn't give us every seat in congress so womp womp."

    Just more bullshit. In no universe does either major party want to lose out on the health insurance confidence scheme bribe money.

    The county met them on their nearly impossible terms which a supermajority is, we met our end. they're just bullshit artists running a con just like the Republican fascists.

  • How Spain put up wealth taxes - without chasing away the billionaires

    Jump

  • I wish we could get such policies. At the very least there should be codes that wealthy people that leave to avoid taxes will be barred from doing any business in the US, which should extend to global partners that choose to do business with them if they then wish to expand to the US, nope you partnered with asshole McGee after they ran away so fuck off. It could be done, it would just require the agents and resources to do so.

    But just as our elected officials won't vote against their own interests, they will defend the interests of the robber barons that pay their real salary in bribes, which is effectively legal post citizens united, so nothing can change under the current system, a new one would need to be made in its place.

    Jump

  • I'm all for chasing them away.

    If taxation is what they won't accept, They always saw your nation as something to be exploited and sucked dry, which means they were never on your society's side, which with such resources makes them incalculably dangerous.

    If they fail the taxation test, the nation should be relieved when they run away.

  • Oh I think the capitalist "grown ups" as you say only concerned with quarterly GDP and their own individual hoards in charge are doing fine on their own. Don't you?

    They don't need some idiot commie child as you say like me getting in the way of this great society's trajectory. This bull is loose!

    I lost, we leftists lost, and since the capitalists are destroying the very COMMUNal climate we rely on from one breath to the next, it's too late for us to ever turn it around, as civilization hangs by a thread on the easy baby "just don't shit where you sleep" climate mode we enjoyed and are eviscerating as we speak in the name of year over year metastasis.

    What does winning feel like? Is it awesome? Do you feel victorious in your capitalist society?

  • (for me the main one are the tankie scum devs)

    This right here is the crux of the problem and why the problem goes back so much further than the design and algorithms of platforms. We teach kids to focus on individual achievement, to celebrate the self, and we don't teach empathy, something that needs to be taught young and can easily be taught but the west increasingly considers weakness and a dirty word.

    When we fail to teach citizens of a society collectivism, because being a member of a society means you are part of a collective whether you decide to be a good collective that functions or one that operates against itself (herp derp competition!) that does not, you get communication between members like this.

    "I hate these people fuck them they should me more like MEEEE" "their opinions suck because they aren't more like MIIIINE" and we act as a bunch of petulant infants that resent each other's very existence in OUR world.

    If we were taught that it is our responsibility to lift one another up, if we rewarded people in society on the basis of who and how many others they've helped and not how much they hoarded for THEMSELVES, this wouldnt be as much of a problem. We could, now that we don't have to survive in nature, orient our mindsets to the positive, which would have to be encouraged young. Instead we're made to be like... This. A useful state for killing a rival in YOUR hunting area when there's only enough game in the region for one tribe to survive the winter, not so much when trying to build a civilization up. And don't get me started on the counterproductive mindfuck that is nation states and super serious imaginary lines between them, meant to protect hoards of INDIVIDUAL wealth of respective elites.

    The problem is, how do you start such a virtuous cycle when everyone from the owners down are only concerned with "ME ME ME MINE MINE MINE?"

    Then again you hate tankies, so go ahead and cuss me out for calling out the reality that capitalism, especially when it has effectively conquered the culture, turns people into selfish little gremlins more likely to shoot a stranger than help them.

  • Are you a feminist? (If so why, if not why not?)

    Jump

  • The first wave was right. (equal legal rights)

    The second wave had a good point. (reproductive rights and workplace discrimination)

    The rest were just further attempted power grabs that don't even make the people they claim to represent happy. They tried to do what well meaning but ultimately misguided anti racism waves did by claiming gender shouldn't even be acknowledged aka "I don't even see the color." Which is it's own kind of bigotry.

    Everyone should be allowed to fill the same role, but while a minority might be ecstatic in the corpo grinder, it made society worse for men and women more generally, and I don't see many women who enjoy being forced into the hunter gatherer role by the capitalists and the convenient femininists whose message they coopted to boost productivity by mandating ALL the poors make widgets for them if they want to subsist.

    It hasn't been productive to raise women to believe it is essential that they defy gender norms as if it is their mission in life to do so. More than anyone else, modern feminists have culturally demeaned the role of being a wife and mother in society, which is ironic, since they seem dead set on making women fit the mold of the men they see as their oppressor.

    Men and women are different, with different strengths and weaknesses and intrinsic desires. With overlap, there are things that make men happier and things that make women happier generally. We should have equality, but we've been trying to shoehorn both genders to be interchangable in any societal role en masse, and it's taken a massive toll on men and women in different ways.

    Edit: Nevermind, everything is awesome, we did it!

  • that one liberal

    As a democratic socialist I think I am more annoyed by neolibs than the Fascists. I wish the Fascists were gone more, but the neolibs found a way to be more insufferable.

    Fascists largely seem to know they're selfish, hateful pricks and take a perverse pride in it. Note the shit eating grins and lazy circular arguments meant to provoke more than defend.

    Liberals want to have their cake and eat it too. They have no problem with mass homelessness so long as it's not in their backyard, and they like record profits even when it involves legal murder of customers, but they blow a microchip when informed that means they work against society and are also selfish fucks who want there to be winners and losers instead of everyone having full bellies. You cant be for mass homelessness, for basic needs not being met by some while others have too much and be a decent person.

    At least the Devil is the Devil and not perpetually trying to find the new middle ground of greed and power and asking to be called a good boy or girl for it. I prefer sociopaths that announce themselves.

  • I voted for Harris, just as I voted for neoliberal fascist light my entire life out of race to the bottom harm reduction. I'm 40 and have had no non-capitalist filth to vote For in a general, yes I primary, my entire life. Unchecked capitalism always leads to fascism.

    Don't pretend that the tide of fascism hasn't been rising since Reagan with Democrats. Democrats take the same marching orders on the economy and have no problem with mass homelessness and industries like "Healthcare" killing their marks for sport. Democrats just shrug and call it market forces instead of pointing and laughing at you, which is better, hence why I vote for them.

    You should MOURN every vote for them as I do though. Whether this happened in 2020,2024,or 2028, this was happening. The table was set and the Fascist's "opposition" have done nothing but enable them and become more like them for half a century. Note how their fighting against this tide with furrowed brows and doubling down on hating leftists who have never had a shred of power in this country but are still somehow the big enemies as their esteemed opposition build concentration camps, lol it's pathetic.

    Next cycle the Overton window will have Democrats calling for more humane concentration camps in their march rightward into meeting the Fascists in the new middle. I guarantee it. After all, just as with our regular prison INDUSTRY, there's profit to be made in such projects, and those profiteers will be happy to bribe both parties as usual.

    Even IF there's another real election, and even IF the neoliberals win, they'll do NOTHING to reign in our robber baron profiteers destroying the world and our society, which will leave the table set for the Fascists to continue their work in another 4.

    But hey at least we'll burn not being socialists, amirite?

  • Nah.

    We think we're that powerful, but there's an entire domain of creatures we can barely reach that utilize geothermal energy that will just keep plugging away out of our sphere of influence.

    Surface and shallow water life is and will suffer greatly until we burn ourselves out and are no longer a threat on the scale we currently are, but humans are even egotistical in this topic. We couldn't come close to sterilizing this world, even if it magically became as important to us as fucking one another over for paper simulacra of supposed value.

    We are a nuisance, but we aren't the first evolutionary nuisance the earth has dealt with. We have no mastery over this world as much as many like to believe so. A nuclear detonation possesses a tiny fraction of the power of a volcanic eruption.
