    I see so many capitalist boot kickers saying things like “if Cuba and communism are so great, why can’t it survive through sanctions with self sufficiency?”

    These people will tell you learn basic economics when they can’t realize or won’t acknowledge that we don’t life in a vacuum

      "if Cuba and communism are so great, why can’t it survive through sanctions with self sufficiency?”

      If communism is so bad, why does it need to be sabotaged to make it fail?

      You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?” (Laughs.) You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.

    Someone's got the list somewhere, right? The list of garbage from the Trump administration Biden hasn't done shit about?

    • border wall
    • title 42
    • Cuba

    I know the list probably longer, help me out.

      Trump’s one major “accomplishment” was a major rewrite of the tax code in a way that was huge boon to corporations and the rich. Democrats were staunchly opposed to it at the time but since Biden was elected, repealing the damage Trump did hasn’t even been brought up. Pretty sure at some point on the campaign trail Biden promised to reverse it.

      Creating the Space Force to funnel more money into the MIC

      Every liberal was pissing themselves laughing at how silly it was. They made a rush Netflix comedy about how silly it was.

      And now that Biden's in power it is a vital part of national security etc

      Similar to the border wall, but the concentration camps on the border and an increase in deportations.

    Democratic diehards and people who give into the fear mongering don't care about this. Biden can talk about how evil Trump was and they'll vote for him anyway while condescendingly telling you that he couldn't do these things because of Republicans.

      Lol I was told "it seems like a relatively minor issue on the scale of what the state dept has to deal with..." and also "it's not that they're against it, they just didn't prioritize getting it done."

      Maybe the state department would have more time if they were not attempting to operate several proxy wars at once.

      Apparently there are "not enough facts to draw the conclusions the article the article is making."

      So are the senators feigning their outrage? And to what end if that's true? Seems more likely that the Biden state department only wants more hostilities.

    I'm kinda surprised he even said he was gonna do anything about it, but then again I have mostly forgetten all of the other broken promises besides the missing check and the public private obamacare he promised to bring back.

    I’m still salty over Ryan Grim’s seemingly weaponized misunderstanding of The Squad’s crushing of the rail strike last year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdxUph85NlA

      The Intercept also fucked up the release of documents so that they were traced back to Reality Winner, who spent 4 years in Federal prison

        That sucked, but at least wasn’t intentional. They still do some good investigative journalism, but they’re liberals funded by an oligarch, so you have to take them with a big grain of salt.

    a Ryan Grim tweet which really shows how much of a baby-brained liberal he is:

    the US abroad has been authoritarian, the claim being made is its authoritarian domestically which...it’s not.
