    This is, surprisingly a big disappointment from Biden for me. I think one of the coolest things Biden almost did was "try (tm)*" to bully Sinema and Joe Manchin into complying with a spending bill (or something). When people were bullying them, he goes "that's what security is for, Jack!" Now when it's shitty celebrities suddenly their privacy is important? That sucks!

    I'm starting to think that this democracy isn't divorced from the whims of capital

    *He didn't try, he was relieved he had someone to blame

      Biden works for the billionaire class. That’s what he’s counting on to get re-elected this November. He’s been on their side every single time since assuming office, and building up quite a reputation doing that.

        Like at this point, you would have to be very silly to think that voting isn’t kayfab
