    I remenber the day before south carolina and CNN/MSNBC was doing some fuckery in telling everyone that Bernie had been helped by Russia or whatever tf And i encountered some angry boomers.

    The silver lining in all of this is that, if anything, at least the resistance libs are completely defeated. Blue maga disengaging from politics altogether does potwntially create an opportunity in 2028.

    I went to iowa for bernie, held a whole shit load of phone banks in chicago for him during the early primaries, and even canvassed during covid right up until he dropped.

    Maybe Im a silly doomer but I really do feel like bernie was a once in a lifetime opportunity to get anything remotely different. AOC would be an "obama" type at best who promises a lot and delivers nothing.











  • Plus I think socialized medicine and healthcare would help a lot of problems fix themselves. Lets be real, a lot of these people are just sick in the head qnd desperately need help they probably cant afford. Im sure some of them would refuse but just having free access to that help would definitely have a positive long term impact.















  • The reality is that their idea of a "democracy" is a fundemental perversion of human nature.

    Our neoliberal "democracy" was founded by and for the interests of property owners. The safeguarded institutions that make libs cream their pants are the same onstitutions designed to protect the government from revolts by poor people.

    We can see by nearly every objective measure that neoliberal capitalism has deteriorated our living conditions year after year. It is a cancer that is all consuming, constant and lacks any empathy whatsoever. It will not and can not be stopped unless it is forcefully destoryed. It cannot be "improved from within" for the same reason that dementia, cancer or any other similarly all-consuming illness cannot just be subsided on a long term basis.

    As such, Donald Trump becomes a viable candidate. He is the mirror image of American values. Maybe we dont like it, but to some degree we need to acknowledge as such. He is the epitome of what our founding fathers cherished and valued. And only such a system of neoliberal capitalism could elevate someone like him to a high status. In many ways, he is the ultimate embodiment of the American President.

    After all, what is the use of such "democracy" when all such a system can produce are two different ways of looking into the void?
