      Neither party is salvageable, they both serve billionaires and billionaires alone. You cannot reform capitalism into a system that works for the working class.

        The Republican Party goosesteps along together but that’s not true of the dems. People like AOC, Mark Kelly, and Jon Ossoff would happily let Musk rot to death in prison.

          Okay, but that’s not what I said. I said that you cannot reform capitalism into a system that works for the working class. That would require fundamentally transforming the entire system into socialism, which cannot be done through the capitalist system itself, nor through a party that has evolved over the centuries to be in lock-step with billionaires, just as the GOP has. They represent different wings of billionaires, but billionaires nevertheless.

              Nope. I’m not a tankie. I’m not advocating for a violent revolution for funsies. I’m not supporting groyper accelerationism.

              I am asking for honesty, accountability and holding politicians’ feet to fire 100% of times without any bias.

              Donald is a warmongering pedo. I got no doubt he’s terrible for the innocent, poor workers of the USA as well as whatever’s left of the middle class.

              I’m also not in favour of forgetting or conveniently ignoring who was in charge and oversaw, even facilitated, the Gaza genocide.

                I don’t think you’re arguing in good faith, champ

                You don’t appear to be stupid based on your diction, which only really leaves the alternative that you’re disingenuous

                  There’s nothing disingenuous about what I said.

                  Why should politicians and political parties be allowed to shrug off their egregious mistakes?

                  We shouldn’t let following generations be fed a sanitized fantasy of what we witnessed and live through. We should all remember why Bernie Sanders was cheated out of his shot at leading US and the West to a better future. Or all the other stuff like a literal genocide.

                  The establishment Dems shouldn’t be allowed to hide behind token gestures. I appreciate the fact that they’re inclusive and got rid of the discriminatory rules prohibiting lgbt+ in the armed forces. But we also shouldn’t forget or overlook the forever-wars and needles conflicts they’re thrown into for corporate interests and profits.

                  I fail to see why you think that’s disingenuous.

                    I think that the system in 'Murica is fucked and needs to be totally changed, but that requires the entirity of every single institution to be torn down and built again

                    Barring some sort of cataclysmic event, that ain’t happening

                    So your pissing and moaning will do nothing more than persuading people already inclined to do nothing to not get off their arses and vote against the Republicans

                    Why would you take that approach?
