No. Democrats are basically woke "Republicans"

[–] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

to be woke roughly means to have awareness of social and racial injustice; it's supposed to be a compliment, and it certainly doesn't apply in this case

I think they’re aware; they just don’t actually care

[–] timicin@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

they don't care unless it impacts them. aka: fuck you; i've got mine.

[–] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

definitely most of them, although I don't know how aware Biden is of anything nowadays

[–] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fair enough, I stand corrected. I do wonder then if the military is actually already running the country while the presidents are too unaware to do anything...

I don't know the details but I'd wager it's a combination of other politicians, the military and various semi-autonomous three-letter agencies, all doing the bidding of the big bourgeoisie, and I'm sure members of the latter are directly involved as well
