how you intend to reshape the entire political landscape of the United States

Unions and democratic socialism. Aka, the Sanders methodology - and, aka, the way we got the New Deal

The alternative is either doing nothing and allowing conditions to continue to deteriorate, or supporting an armed revolution that will be instantly massacred by the most powerful military in human history. Neither are plausible options in the face of oligarchy

There is nothing left about 2014 tumblr and its consequences. That was not a socialist or working class zeitgeist. And very likely was largely astroturfed by ruling class propagandists

Legitimately have no idea what this message is intended to communicate because it is poorly written.

However, I did not notice I replied to the same commenter more than once. I was only replying to people I thought were exceptionally irrational.

Your comments btw read like ideal versions of what the GOP would promulgate to dissuade voters from supporting Biden. So if you're a shill, then good job; if you aren't, then your communication skills are poor and you should try to be persuasive and likeable - both online and in real life

Why would any voter take the blame for Biden committing a genocide with our tax dollars?

That was literally my point. And is the entire point of Christianity

People won't do those things unless they realize that Democratic neoliberal orthodoxy is also the enemy.

Criticizing Biden with the goal of awakening the people should be encouraged

Why are you accusing me of apathy, when I just told you that I voted for Dems in every election that I've ever been eligible to vote in?

[–] beardown@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I've voted in every single election since turning 18 and have always voted Dem. So have many of my friends and family.

And yet here we are.

People don't believe in our system because our system has produced terrible results. Especially when compared to countries that have produced consistently higher standards of living in our lifetimes like Norway or Denmark. Or even Germany.

our quibbles with Biden.

Genocide is not a quibble

Why should this system of oligarchic control be maintained given the amount of suffering that exists in the United States compared to other Western countries?

The working class has a right to demand a replacement system.

Trump is not that replacement. But neither are the Democrats

recognize that the way you think it should be is rarely the way it actually is.

Then what is the point of living in a democracy?

History is filled with examples of the righteous being defeated by the wicked.

Christ, being such an example
