Cowards?
Pelosi was pretty brave defending insider trading after someone used her husband to stress test their hammer.
They aren’t cowards. They’re morons or traitors.
They aren’t -afraid- to do the right thing.
They’re afraid of losing money and power. Or worse, they actually think they’re doing a good thing.
It’s a dopamine versus serotonin issue. People think they want to be happy, but that longing is more for purpose. Eating ice cream can make you happy, but learning to cook your own meals makes you a more component being able to provide for yourself and those around you.
Most modern luxuries are basically Skinner boxes at this point monetized in some way to keep us staring at it or consuming it.
We doom scroll at the expense of relationship building.
We door dash instead of have community gardens.
Instant gratification isn’t always and intrinsically bad, but the more the default it becomes, the less patient and competent people become.
Then you pile on decades of American exceptionalism and actively encouraging selfishness at the expense of a functioning society and the present state of things is hardly surprising.
If you think it’s insane it’s basically still how we took the Kingdom of Hawaii.
Lol. Welcome to chasing a pipe dream or crippling depression.
The answer is largely as simple as socialism plus Kant with some secular Jesus because any system that condones human exploitation will eventually implode due to psychopaths’ willingness to sacrifice others for power.
But literally basically everything is done wrong to maximize exploitation. Housing, schooling, medicine, food… All fucked to make the richest richer.
Liberalism is the slow road to fascism.
That bit makes more sense when you factor in Scotus making corporations people.
That’s fine. The Democrat plan is to normalize fascism.
“Both sides are the same” is ultimately true because both empower capitalism’s subjugation of democracy. Every time the GOP tugs right and the DNC meets them half way. The greatest accomplishment of the Democrats in the last 20 years is the ACA- designed by the heritage foundation but stripped of the greatest cost savings measures.

Step one: fund raise on trans rights.
Step two: not support trans rights or any meaningful reform for the people.
Step three: keep losing support while leaning ever right
Step four: fail to do fuck all about RvW for 4 decades
Step five: blame trans people for losing by bringing the party “too far left” while continuing to cut corporate taxes and increase police funding as a percentage of municipal budgets
And my boss still says I’m one of the best on the team… 🤷🏼♂️
WHY DID DEMOCRAT LEAVE LEAVES?! 🤬🔥🍁🍂
“Rushing change” is a glorious example of “liberal” media sane washing a fascist coup burning the guardrails to the ground.
Most people fail to realize that reason and rationality are best case scenarios for hormonal meat beasts and very far from the default.
Fairly non sequitur. You’re not wrong but people being coached to revel in hate from birth isn’t going to be addressed by encryption on your wank session.
Good luck overcoming 300 years propaganda.
Your average American reads at an 8th grade level and has spent their entire lives being told what to think but not how.
The majority are so ignorant they think even the concept of currency is capitalism.
And this is how social media hijacks brains.
America is failing as a country because people are willing to spend more energy on things they hate than things they need like functioning education and transit.
Yes, they are part of the system. You’re so eager to disagree you don’t understand you’re making my point.
You all won’t be able to fix anything if you’re more focused on what feels good to yell about you can’t focus on the root cause.
I agree. The bad taste is not that while not wrong per-se, it’s just reduces a complex issue into “red bad” while wholly failing to acknowledge that Democrats have been complicit in facilitating the Overton Window this far.
“Progressives” are really hard on the “REPUBLICANS DID THIS!” and never really pick up on the “and Democrats met them half way.”
This blue no matter who reduction hopes to hide liberalism is the slow road to fascism.
The problem isn’t meany racist MAGAts. It’s the entire system spending decades working overtly toward fascism with a bunch of clueless fucking rubes staring complacently.
People should constantly talk about Democrats being controlled opposition unwilling to speak against the wealthy.
