Member when the Snowden leaks happened and Obama/Dems worked hand in hand with R's to continue the implementation of turnkey totalitarianism?

Member when we argued that they were building the machinery necessary to easily commit genocide and enslave everyone in a panopticon police state FOR FASCISM; that the very existence of this machinery itself was fundamentally authoritarian and anti-democratic... and the shitlib majority believed the government could never turn against the people; that entertaining this threat was an insane conspiracy theory?

This extreme level of gross negligence, criminal incompetence, and overall systemic failure — unilaterally across all of western "democracy" — is an indicator that we do not live in democracies, but in dictatorships of capital; that classical liberalism itself is failing humanity and the planet; incompatible with democracy, sustainability, and the long term survival of the species.

That's what a lot of these copiod posters tend to forget, or simply weren't alive for. It's great the dems are using populist messaging again, but we've been here before. In fact we've been here so often it's kinda annoying.

But hey, here's either another example of the dems acting as no more than a ratchet, or, maybe, improbably, they'll do the right thing and start enacting the overwhelmingly popular bipartisan policies like isolationist defensive military strategy, local manufacturing and labor incentives, and medicare for all.

I remember. Then when I was upset about it, people were shocked I didn't like "the best modern president, maybe even of all time".

Pessimism of the mind. Optimism of the spirit. You are correct that there are a lot of ways things can go wrong, but that just means we need to put in the work to overcome those obstacles. Put that pessimism to work by using it to predict and surmout roadblocks. If you feel phone calls arent enough, go door knock. If you feels door knocking isn't enough, start organizing. If you feel organizing isn't enough, run for office. Get more and more involved in politics until you understand in your soul that a better future is possible, if only we all work together to make it happen.

You're being a bitter crumudgen because there are now more Democrats that fought and won against AIPAC money and big money politics with good policy platforms. They ran on a platform of Medicare for all, ending wars, and more progressive policies. We need to see how it shakes out, and calling them ShitLibs is just naked cynicism. When it inevitably comes down to corporate Democrats blocking these efforts, you can go ahead and call them out, but the only way forward is to primary them with better people. Pretending like the new batch is the old batch is disingenuous.

Wnding sanctions on Iran is too far

Americans talking like they own the entire world and you have the right to make others suffer to get what you want. Trump really represents you better.

The recently elected Democrats don't take office until Jan. 3,2027.
