If only we had the technology to put cars on metal tracks, oh and we could add power lines so that electric cars wouldn't need batteries. Hmm, next we could link the cars together so that only the first car has to overcome wind resistance

If I were a narcissist like Trump then I would love to be the President: I could set up all my family and friends with 7 figure jobs, I'd buy a hotel and then force the SS to rent out the entire building at 10x the normal rates, I could spend most of my time golfing, I could chat with my buddy Putin on the phone every day, etc.

Are there shitty parts to the job? Sure, but is it better than being a powerless wage slave to a soulless corporation? Absolutely yes.

Starting wars with allied nations (China) just because they have a semi-socialist economy seems fairly fascist to me.

Youtube is privately owned by the capital class. Why would capitalist owned media companies stop boosting capitalist, right-wing propaganda?

Quality posts like this are what keep me coming back to Lemmy.

Modern Liberals support market economies,

Only partly true. Liberals support capitalist markets, but not worker owned markets (worker co-ops, market socialism.)

everyone left of center demanded change.

I think you mean "everyone left of FASCISM" because liberals are center-right at best. Center left is Social Democracy (Bernie Sanders and AOC)

Lmao, for real though, FDR was the last President that prioritized the working class over the capital class. And in turn capitalists tried to overthrow the government or have him killed: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Plot

It was the stupidest of ideas. Republicans were never going to vote for her in any numbers

It is what the donor (capital) class wanted. Liberals are capitalists which means they serve the capital class first and foremost.

We have a two party system which is inherently hyper polarizing as it paints everything as being black and white. It is an unbelievably stupid and undemocratic system, and unfortunately, nothing will ever improve until we replace our broken two party system with a modern multiparty democracy

Please don't. Not that they don't deserve it, but you might get shot or arrested.

A better option would be to buy those fake tickets and leave it under their wiper so they panic for a second thinking they got a ticket. Or get some rude stickers and slap them on their car.

Either sound great to me. Co-ops are market socialism which is better than capitalism in every way
