because she was the only Democrat more conservative than Biden
Biden is a middle of the road Democrat. I could probably come up with 200 or so living Democrats with experience as a state governor or a federal representative more conservative than him. Any member of the Blue Dog Caucus, for instance.
Harris is also middle of the road
It’s just hilarious with Hunter
At this point I want Biden to appoint him as the ambassador to somewhere so he can do blow and hookers with some minor European politician
Dude, leftists hate other leftists, I don’t think me agreeing to pretend that there’s a genocide going on in Gaza is going to change anything, as if that would be honest at all
They’ll just find something else to hate me for, depending on the exact variety of leftist concerned. They’ll always think that I “deserve the wall,” as I have been repeatedly told my smug intellectual children.
When did I ever say I was friends with leftists
I get nearly as much hate from them as I do from conservatives
Except that at those times, you could absolutely compare slave economies to non slave economies, and the non slave economies were healthier
It’s why during the civil war, the north was so much more powerful than the south
Turns out that if you stifle the potential of half your population, lock them in bondage, and assign a significant portion of the rest to watching them, it’s not very efficient. It’s better to just pay people, even discarding the abominable immorality of slavery and focusing on just economic efficiencies.
“it’s slavery when I work for money” ok clown
Liberals: this is a difficult situation and it’s not one which has an easy solution
Communists: genocide is an easy solution lol
Capitalism is the worst way to run an economy. Except, of course, all other ways which have been tried.
Launching rockets at civilians isn’t glorious whether you’re Russian or Palestinian.
You know, it took until 2003 for Russia to remove leaded gasoline from stations. The Soviets never did it LMFAO
but nice try
Comrade, we all know lead poisoning and the need for safety gear are capitalist propaganda! Now, get back in the mines! Production must increase 50% this year, and your state-appointed union representative says it can!
Like I said, attempting to degrade the only left leaning political coalition means someone is hostile to any sort of positive left leaning activism. If that doesn’t describe a given anarchist, then what I said doesn’t apply to them. If it does, then they might as well be a Trumpster.
I’ve participated in dozens of protests. Protests with political organization can lead to change. Protests without political organization are just yelling at a wall.
No need to be a condescending dick.
If you don’t want someone to take offense at what you write, don’t smugly tell them to learn introspection. Act like an arrogant dick, get treated like an arrogant dick.
yet you’re kneecapping large swaths of people on the ground engaging in direct action advancing left leaning values
Direct action is meaningless if you’re hostile to building a coalition broad enough to actually gain any significant political power. It doesn’t matter how many lit memes anarchists and communists share on social media and how much they horn on about “direct action,” this is a democracy and without votes going to candidates who can win, it is ultimately meaningless.
You want me to do some introspection? I did. I remember being young and convinced socialism was the way forward. Then I grew the fuck up and did some introspection.
What’s the difference between a fascist and an “anarchist” who does everything they can to kneecap the only viable left leaning political party in the US?
There’s no practical difference, just window dressing. They both cheer on oppression and pain for those suffering under Republicans.
And don’t even get me started on communists. Left and right authoritarians, I’ve gotten death threats from both of them. Whether it’s some leftist telling me I would “get the wall” when the Revolution comes or some fucking Republican telling me that the US was only for Christians and that they’ll go after “traitors” soon, you get to the same fucking place at the end of the day. The only real difference is that there’s far more Republicans, and they’re far more organized than left authoritarians.
If a local producer can get more selling to someone in the next country, they will. Basic economics. Prohibit them from doing so and they might plant something more profitable or just say “fuck it” and let their fields lie fallow, if they’re not making a profit. Farming ain’t free and farmers are on thin margins.
If they cap prices on food, then you’ll see food shortages instead of expensive food
Touchy, aren’t you
