I wanna rant and it feels best to put it in the dunk tank so here we are.

I'm awfully tired of 'leftists' discussing things around who is president at a given moment. Like the "who is better, Trump or Biden" type discussions, because I'm tired of repeatedly pointing out that there's a whole fucking government that enables them and there's also, idk, this little thing called the ruling class (or capital class, or whatever you want to call it).

I understand that a president is influential and shapes policy but even if we resurrected Lenin and got him into the White House things wouldn't magically get better for us. There's so many factors at play. Boiling down an entire system of oppression down to a singular (albeit important) position is actual liberal nonsense.

We can point out flaws of a president or their viewpoints but once you start blaming everything bad that happens on one singular person I want to scream. I shouldn't have to bring this up but even here I see people talk about the camps at the border like it's a uniquely Trump problem or act like Covid would magically be a non-issue under a Democratic president, and it's complete nonsense.
