Poor one out for all your LGBTQ+ homies in America, they’re about to be hunted for sport.
Clinton repealed glass-steagall setting the stage for the meltdown of 08 and what happened since (the exponential growth of the billionaire class) eventually leading to trump.
Obama made fun of a vindictive litte narcissist causing him to decide then and there to run for office. And did not nearly do enough with his wave of support, he was a true democrat… slow as fuck.
And then Biden, anemic response to the exponential rise of fascism under his watch… his legacy will be letting trump take over and not putting the boot on the project 2025 crowd.
I feel sorry for the 60 million Americans that voted against trump, but they need to realize they are surrounded by fascists and people that think it’s not important that their country is turning fascist… Same as in Germany in the interbellum.
Compare the occupation of Crimea to the Anschluss and the war in Ukraine like the split of Poland, china showing their muscles in asia and the state of the world is worrying… It feels like I was taught about this in school.
Like I said in the other reply:
In 1992 he was a young charismatic politician running on a progressive platform.
How he disappointed people while in office is important, but not really relevant when we’re just talking about how to win an election.
The topic currently is how a Dem can win an election.
While it would be best to have an authentic progressive, at least one smart enough to lie (like Obama and Bill) would have beat trump.
True… I also think that Dems should be hammering their victories more. It’s like they fail in public and their successes happen in the shadows.
"Look, the financials for all normal people are shit, the whole world has had massive inflation, we had less than the rest of the world, and if we had not had to clean up trumps shit and massive debts, it would have been even better. Meanwhile the rich got richer by firing you or your family members, refusing proper pay bumps, outsourcing your jobs and gouging you on prices while making record profits. We are mad too, at the republicans and their tax cuts for their mega donors, at the corporations for treating you unfairly while stealing from you… Point your anger at them…
You deserve a living wage, deserve to not worry about your health or going bankrupt by seeing a doctor, you deserve good and affordable housing and clean drinking water. We will tax the ultra wealthy and make them pay their fair share, stop their tax dodging and shady constructions. And we will show them they are not above the law.
