Ahhh, yes. There he is, folks. The Man of the People, with his finger on the pulse of the working class.

I have no idea how anyone still supports this clown.

    The other finger? Because he probably already has one in some underage pussy...

    Can you, youre not gonna like this, but could you change the wording of this? I get your meaning, but oh my goodness what a terrible way to put it.

    we could use a different word for pussy. Im no prude when it comes to language, but it's.. even a bit much for a seasoned cusser in this context.

    Tell that to my two elderly friends who are currently unhoused and wandering the streets because there's no fucking shelter available.

    I genuinely hope that orange pus sack dies on July 4th. It'd be hella poetic.

    No-one that talks to Trump gives a fuck about housing, that's for sure.

    "what's the average house worth, like $25 mill or something?"

    The advisors Trump surrounds himself with don't give a fuck about housing, so of course he never hears about it. At the same time, it's like the #1 issue for working people! I have no idea how people can still vote Republican in 2026...

    The poors don't count of course.

    This is it exactly, and it's one of the lesser discussed facts of income inequality. Eventually, when the people at the top are the only ones with money, they become the only ones spending money, and thus they are the only ones catered to. Everyday people get priced out of basic things because what's the point in making things affordable for the poors? When one rich person will spend more than 1000 poor people, wouldn't it be better to appease the rich person?

    See places like Vegas or Disney for very visible examples of this happening.

    Based on the people he talks to, I'm sure that's an uncharacteristically reasonable assessment.

    The revolutionary approach is outrageously disorganized and understaffed

    It's not outrageously disorganized or understaffed. It's under constant attack by liberals.

    If you can't weather liberal attacks, how do you expect to overthrow fascists? If it was organized and adequately staffed, the attacks from liberals would be ineffective.

    Liberals are a segment of that fascism.

    Even if that were true it wouldn't refute my point. If you can't handle attacks from a segment, how are you going to overthrow the whole thing?

    There you have it indeed, any excuse to deflect and ignore the actual point. Alright champ, assume words mean whatever you think they mean and anyone left of Lenin is a fascist. If you can't handle a segment, how on earth do you have the organization and numbers to overthrow the whole system?

    That's not a deflection, that's fighting fascism, which includes liberals

    Shifting focus to avoid answering a question is the exact definition of deflection. Answer the question.

    We are handling that segment, their 18% approval rating didnt come out of nowhere

  • source
  • parent
  • hideshow 7 child comments
  • [–] 1 point 8 months ago (6 children)

    So to recap: the revolutionary approach isn't succeeding because it's under attack by liberals, except the liberal attacks are ineffective as evidenced by an 18% approval rating (nevermind that polling actually shows 34%). Not sure how low approval ratings for liberals is evidence for the efficacy of revolutionaries. Also lowering approval for liberals only empowers the more virulently fascist conservatives.

    How, pray tell, does any of that demonstrate the strength of revolutionaries? None of that implies positive support for revolution, or organization necessary to implement that revolution, much less any likelihood of revolution securing the desired end goal.

    This approach just seems like toothless reactionary bluster.

    I didn't say it wasn't succeeding, I said it's been stymied by right wing liberals defending the oppression of the working class

    This is succeeding? I'd hate to see what failure looks like.

    People that keep making the same mistakes over and over and calling it progress while never taking responsibility for their failures are in no position to be talking about other people's failure or successes.

    The mistakes of others do not magically make your alternative successful just because it's different. Success isn't a feeling of moral superiority, it's improvements in material conditions. I see no improvement in material conditions.

    You can't claim horoscopes are successful because you think prayer doesn't work. You need actual measurable results.

    What is going on with the audio in the clip you linked? Am I having a stronk?

    Hmm. I wasn't paying attention, just tried to find the clip and confirmed it had the "It's GOOD to be the King!" that I wanted to reference. I can't tell if it's mangled somehow or a different language except the line in question. Weird.

    Sorry about that. o.O

    Yeah I don't mind that my rent is up 35% since I moved in 15 years ago, my wages are the same, everything is more expensive, I don't have insurance, and I have health issues. Who wants a house anyway?

    That's a great campaign slogan for the GOP. See how well that one plays in November.
