Well, the French throw kitchen sinks through their president's window when they raise the price of gas 10 cents, and they also have free healthcare, so I'm going to beg to differ.
If you wonder why everything keeps getting worse in the US, let me help you out: Your gov't and media are owned by billionaires who only care about separating you from your ever diminishing wealth but you just wanna argue with your neighbor about "Woke" and other imaginary fears.
Hey guys, I hear that if Trump gets in again, he'll take away the democracy we don't even have and usher in the fascism that is already here. Whatever will we do?
Trump will not drain the swamp. Biden won't save us from Trump. The US is a dying empire. It's time to grow up and see that voting hasn't worked for anybody except billionaires, who thought it was a good idea to focus on wealth extraction instead of maintaining an actual society.
It's so sad that to have any kind of real conversation with your average American, you gotta dig through like five or ten layers of propaganda that was shoved into their brain by our owners that they then regurgitate back onto you like vomit.
Any word from Barack Obama yet about why he didn't codify Roe v Wade when he had a supermajority and even though he promised to do it on day one? Or is it just crickets? That's what I thought.
🙄
The United States is not a democracy and it's not a constitutional republic. It's a predatory capitalist oligarchy administered by two wholly corrupt, corporate-owned Parties. What the hell do you think you're voting for?

You know what? I don't even know if I'm a socialist or a communist or an anarchist. I just know that things are not working well for the majority of humans on Earth because a tiny minority of humans are hoarding all the wealth for themselves and that there has to be a better way.
Can a single person name a single thing the US Congress has done in the last, say, 30 years that helps actual American persons who are not corporate personhoods?
Have all the American idiots who think we'll have to "wait in line" with universal healthcare not experienced your average doctor or urgent care visit in this shithole country?
I don't care if it's AOC or Mitch McConnell, the fact that *any* American Congress person felt comfortable enough to go home for the holidays without a deal on relief to Americans struggling right now, convinces me that WE all need to make THEM feel far more uncomfortable.
The US is a dying empire. Voting won't fix a thing and it will get worse and worse here until Americans unite and stop arguing with each other over nonsense designed to make us think we're free while our owners keep extracting all of our wealth. What else is there to say?
You notice how the Libs got really fired up about the overturning of Roe v Wade and swore up and down they were going to "burn it all down" and, then, like a week later, they were just back to brunch and yelling at everybody about Voting Blue Hard?
@thehill
Guy comes out to stop Bernie, to stop sports players from striking in support of BLM, to criticize the defund the police movement, to push his Right-wing healthcare plan and, now, to address cancel culture. JFC, "hope and change" became American Conservative Values real fast.
Hey guys, we're saved; the guy who, when he was president, went to Flint and pretended to drink the water to bamboozle its residents into thinking it was no longer poisonous, wants to help Americans battle misinformation.
🙄
I really wish I could tell Barack Obama to his face that he's the reason I will never vote for a Democrat again. That man ran on "Hope and Change" and then turned around and gave us everything Wall Street and the Military Industrial Complex wanted.
In the past month, both my plumber and a good attorney friend of mine, apropos of nothing, said they think it's time to bring out the guillotines. I don't think the ruling class has any idea how pissed off regular Americans are becoming at the shitshow they've created.
How the fuck did America's owners convince regular Americans that using OUR tax dollars to benefit OUR society in general, as opposed to the Military Industrial Complex and corporations, is somehow a bad thing?
Remember when
@AOC
said we shouldn't Force the Vote on Medicare for All because a $15 minimum wage was a more easily attainable goal - and now the Dems are scrapping that too.
:/
A big reason why everything is getting worse and not letting up anytime soon is all these baby-brained Americans who just can't let go of the fairy tales they were told in grade school about how great and tough and just their country is
We have to suffer Joe Biden because the dumb Lib cult insisted that he was the lesser evil compared to Trump. Now, because Joe Biden is totally failing, we'll likely have to suffer through Trump again because of his own dumb cult. This is how an empire circles the drain and dies.
Americans can complain about communism and socialism all they want, but make no mistake whatsoever: Capitalism is what's causing the vast majority of our problems now.
What you're seeing is the collapse of an empire and the collective insanity of a society in denial of this fact. It's not going to be built back better. It's not going to be great again. It's going to get worse, more brutal and more violent until we wake up and put a stop to it.
Seriously, why aren't Americans yelling, screaming and revolting every single second of every single day and double time on Wednesdays over the fact that we're forced to pick between these two corrupt bullshit Parties?
What if your poor mental health directly corresponds to your acute awareness that you live in a collapsing rapacious oligarchy that is only masquerading as a beacon of democracy and freedom? Even if you could afford it, what kind of therapy is going to fix that, huh?
How can I show the people of America that they live in a collapsing imperial oligarchy administered by two wholly corrupt Parties and if they don't set aside their petty differences - often manufactured by the ruling class - and unite to end this bullshit, we are all doomed?
"They're all on drugs"
"It's a choice"
"You know, some of them don't want to be off the streets"
"If they want a place to stay, they need to follow the rules"
"They don't want to follow society's rules"
The way Americans talk about homeless folks and homelessness is disgusting.
Boomers are just going to slowly die off, mumbling with their dying breaths about lazy kids eating too much avocado toast, without ever really grasping the American hellscape they created, aren't they?
It blows my mind that a Republican voter can point out a Democratic politician's crimes to a Democratic voter, and a Democratic voter can point out a Republican politician's crimes to a Republican voter, and they never just conclude that they're all a bunch of criminals.
@robreiner
Sigh. For the millionth time, fascism is the marriage of corporate power and the state, which both Parties wholeheartedly support in this country. You can't outvote fascism and you definitely can't outvote it by voting for the other Party that also supports it.
Listen, this is how it works: Billionaires buy off the politicians of both Teams and while you're arguing with your neighbor over Red Team v Blue Team culture war nonsense, the Team with the most power tries their best to pass billionaire-approved legislation. You don't matter.
Just so you know: The people who are destroying the world will pretend like it's not happening until the very last minute to give them enough time to get your last dollar off of you before escaping to their private, self-contained island bunkers.
Have you figured out yet that the US government is so owned by corporations that it's completely unable to deal with any problem facing regular working Americans whatsoever?
Once you see the manufacturing of consent by the American mainstream media, you can't unsee it. The problem is getting others to see it. How do we do that?
If you're an American who's paying attention, at some point you'll come to the inescapable conclusion that you were born and raised in the world's largest death cult and that you're surrounded by brainwashed cultists.
I just had a long conversation with an old high school pal who's kind of a Trumper who's fed up with the system like lots of us and I'll tell you what: A lot of these dudes are Lefties who don't know it bc they've had the language of class consciousness propagandized out of them.
There are Libs on Twitter today blaming "Bernie Bros", Jill Stein and Susan Sarandon for the current eviction crisis under Biden. Can I go live on another planet now?
🙄
Listen Americans, when you call Obama and Biden "Marxists", you sound ignorant. Those dudes are Neoliberal capitalists. And when they try to throw a few "socialist" bones to the masses, that's just capitalism's way of avoiding the problem - and keeping the people from revolting.
The richest nation in history that renders half of its citizens poor or in near poverty, denies them healthcare and bombs half the world at any given time, cannot be called a Christian nation. Spare us your sanctimonious whining about the War on Christmas. There is no God here.
