  • Pelosi defends lawmaker stock trades, citing ‘free market’ https://apnews.com/article/business-nancy-pelosi-congress-8685e82eb6d6e5b42413417f3d5d6775

    The fascists are worse. I voted Harris with a funeral dirge in my heart out of harm reduction, but make no mistake, all we've been arguing for half a century is the rate of decline. A little slower under neoliberals, a little faster under Fascists.

    NOTHING CAN IMPROVE until our government knocks our oligarchs down to size. Both parties are very well paid by the oligarchs to defend them from us. The oligarchs are running the asylum because both parties let them.

    Republicans having no meaningful opposition on the shape and priorities of the economy for so long made them this bold. Every cycle in most of our lifetimes, both parties have been marching rightward. I fully expect next cycle for neoliberals to advocate "more humane" concentration camps in their never ending March to the new middle, already deep into fascist crazy town.

  • The DNC and their non-spoiler neoliberals are still getting their sweet sweet oligarch bribe checks, so all is right with the world as far as they're concerned.

    They're literally more defensive about any actual leftwing movement to get them to defend the people from the murderous capitalists destroying us and the planet for short term profit.

    We either need a populist to steal the DNC's machine from them as they're kicking and screaming like Trump did the RNC, make a 3rd party, the best option have a hot revolution starting with Wall Street, or accept this hell as we sleepwalk into oblivion.

    Blue no matter who is rearranging deck chairs on a sinking ship. I voted for Harris out of some harm reduction, but the capitalists are the problem and own both parties. Republicans revel in the cruelty and are simply louder about it. Democrats will support your freedom to be LGBTQ... As you die in the gutter of poverty, exposure, and capital defense force brutality. Here have an affirmation ribbon to use as a blanket and/or snack in your cardboard box as they support the industry denying the claims for the nerve damage that made you lose your shitty subsistence job when your treatment would cut into their profit expectations.

    Both parties support the "Freedom" of the rich to toss capital batteries they broke into the trash when they're no longer of use to their bottom line. Freedom without social responsibility is a rampage.

  • The US needs a left-wing Party.

    This has been half a century of Fascists vs neoliberals, center-right "free to be LGBTQ as you die of poverty in the gutter" vs so far right we're building Concentration camps.

    Unfortunately our people have been poorly educated by design as well as brainwashed into believing profit comes before humanity. " Herp derp Anything less is socialism and therefore evil!"

    This is only "freedom" for the rich to trample the poor. Freedom without social responsibility is a rampage. We need revolution, revolution that does far more to Wall Street than merely occupy it , or we need to accept living in hell until the capitalists destroy the climate enough to destroy civilization all together.

    Don't worry, just a few more decades of the same at most for nature to do what we're failing to. This will end within a human lifespan, the choice is if it will be with or without a habitable planet for Humans.

    This isnt the usual ebbs and flows of history, There is a very literal deadline of humanity's own greedy making.

  • I literally posted a link of BlueCross revoking a new horror of greed out of fear and self preservation immediately following what happened. That's after 1 very low level murderous oligarch sycophant was cleansed. 1.

    They'll bring it back if the people allow it to be an isolated incident and fail to return this half century of class occupation, murderous subjugation, and human commodification back into the class war it needs to be. The war that informs every other battle, even if we put our fingers in our ears and pretend it's not.

    But we'll probably be cowards and take it until the capitalists destroy the habitability of the planet, ending their murderous grift and civilization in a few decades. Either way, at least this horrorshow of human exploitation will end. I'd rather the former, but the latter is better than this in perpetuity.

  • Reminder, our government has been captured by the capitalist oligarchs for 50 years.

    This election simply cut out the middlemen well bribed middle managers in the executive.

    Luigi, the hero we need but don't deserve, demonstrated the only thing the capitalists and their jack booted thugs respond to: fear

    https://www.npr.org/2024/12/05/nx-s1-5217617/blue-cross-blue-shield-anesthesia-anthem

    And it got results, however slight and temporary due to the scale of one man standing against an entire economic class of proudly sociopathic tyrants, some blue cross patients got relief from the American Healthcare confidence scheme, the only positive change in Healthcare in decades. ICE is just another class traitor, love me senpai oppressor arm of them. Just saying.

  • Don't forget this either:

    We weren't some benevolent force for good in WW2. People love pointing it out as if we proactively fought for good.

    The Axis thankfully committed the greatest strategic blunder of the 20th century hands down and sunk our Naval fleet. They brought the fight to us. The US was quite fond of eugenics and practiced it in asylum before and after WW2.

    We fought back. That isn't being a hero, that isn't coming to save the day. That's self-preservation.

    The closest we've ever been to the good guys was at our founding, and even that was complicated.

  • Too bad they won't address all the "Christians" that make it their mission to live drunk on cruelty and schaudenfreude.

    If being Christian has anything to do with honoring and following the tenets of Jesus of Nazareth as written in the New Testament, there isn't a single Christian in the Republican party.

    They use Jesus like a mask or totem to be on "I win morality" base while almost exclusively advocating inhuman atrocities like destroying families and doing the opposite of everything in their supposed own book they've clearly never read.

    It's not like they try but fall short either. This isn't no true Scotsman, all they do is hate. When is the last time you've seen a Republican express love for anyone that wasn't rooted in angering (hating) their innumerable enemies? Is Jesus not love?

  • That's both party's strategy since Reagan got his former opposition on the take.

    Thats what both parties are bribed for.

    Stoke social issue wedges and protect our oligarchs grift economy from us.

    You can have scapegoating and oligarchal exploitation or affirmation ribbons and oligarchal exploitation. That has been the extent of our voter's power for half a century.

    Im glad the Dems support trans rights, and vote for them as harm reduction, but don't pretend DNC neoliberal democrats give a shit about a poor Trans person's right not to die in an underpass of exposure for the crime of being poor as a warning to the other poors.

  • Nancy Pelosi dedicated the month before Trump was inaugurated to ensuring AOC, a spoiler leftist in a sea of her crony neoliberals, didn't get an oversight committee seat.

    Neoliberals Democrats hate actual leftwing politicians far more than they hate their fascist opposition party. Makes sense, Fascists and neoliberals have the same bosses and take the same bribe checks.

  • Good thing I don't have that.

    If I did, I'd help protect the system when the molitovs start flying at it like a good house slave, I hope to assist when it isn't just me, as that would just be suicide by cop.

    This isn't class war, this is 50 years of class occupation and counting. Peaceful positive change has been made impossible here on multiple levels by the owners. I put my hope in the other thing, as that's the only rational place left to put it.

  • The DNC would murder her if she broke through their primary defenses and got close enough.

    They're fine with losing, the pendulum is part of the grift, what they aren't fine with is losing their half of that bipartisan oligarch gravy train. Our capitalists don't bribe both parties to have those parties stand against economic metastasis at all human cost.

    We can have affirmation ribbons and be sucked dry by the oligarchs, or we can have scapegoating and be sucked dry by the oligarchs, that is the extent of our "freedom." Reagan and Kemp saw to that by getting their former opposition on the take.

  • Capitalism destroyed our government, captured our constitution, and is literally ending the world (for humans, don't worry it'll be fine in a few million years and it'll be like we never existed, thank goodness for that).

    I find comedy in people likely here due to the greed rot of Spez wanting to go public and now fondling billionaire balls still, here on Lemmy like digital refugees in the wake of capitalism breaking promises to and destroying a community to increase private profit, going "ewww commies and socialists."

    Credit where it's due, the capitalist's Orwell game is God tier.
