When you’re told the economy is doing great this is what they mean. It’s a bad message to send in an election year.

Bidenomics is working! Why aren’t you people happy?!

Bidenomics is based in Reaganomics. Only it doesn’t hand social program budgets so quickly to the religious ministries to spend on megachurches. The public hoped for a Social Democrat, but the establishment party chose another neoliberal. (In 2016 the Dems lost to an open fascist — with a majority, but losing the EC — because a conservative neoliberal woman President was too spicy.)

Even in the 1800s railrod barons owned all the candidates in the primaries. So we can’t redistribute wealth by vote.

It does show capitalism gives us its true colors during the Great Depression. Our ownership class will gladly see us starve and freeze than give up their vast holdings. They’ll hire armies and lawyers alike to keep wealth they cannot actually utilize (except to gain more wealth) even if it drives the human species to extinction.

And the longer it takes for the public to fight back, the higher the global catastrophic risk.

This, however, isn’t to say we can choose revolution at any time. Violence remains unthinkable until the hour it is inevitable; until the hour we find our Mahsa Amini, we can only stir and wait.

Legit best response. Got a hearty chuckle out of me.

This is relevant to your point that the American Democratic Party hates lefties and endorses neoliberalism. I hope it is helpful.
