These fuckers insider trade and make money no matter which way the market goes. This isn’t it, they just know that no matter who wins the rich will continue to run the country so it doesn’t really matter to them. The only threat to the wealthy ruling class is the left (not liberals, the actual left)
None of them have any advice, none of them are ‘leading the charge’ of reforming the USA.
the only thing I’ve seen them bring to the table is an elevated nose, blind judgement based on delusion, and calls for more violence. Those aren’t the traits of a movement I can support
I actually did try to run for a local election and have tried to organize unions before.
Neither went very well and for the local office position I actually tried to work with a “progressive” election fund who never wanted to talk politics but just money. Literally told me I was too poor to run and that my dollars would be better spent with them finding better candidates.
It’s a sham not exactly possible to break through without a lot of luck and momentum. They have said age makes you more conservative but it seems to actually just be money and wealth and accumulation of things makes you so.
I think the reason you don’t see more is the “left” is mostly just people poor and tired. The social left liberals above us just like to use our backing while supporting an easier to work with marginalized group that looks better and is easier than solving wealth inequality flavor of the month.
I tried to run as well… Didn’t have any progressive groups around, but the state Dem party doesn’t help anyone except top of the ticket. They didn’t mind asking me to drop off flyers for their candidates though.
I’ve also tried to organize a union 3 times in 3 different jobs, and the problem there is just everyone not wanting to do anything extra if it’s in any way work related… Even if it’s to make their lives better… But I do get that the reason for that is mostly that they’re already overworked and underpaid, so they don’t feel like they have the time or energy.
He is. They own the same stocks in the same companies.
Democrats like immigrants the same reason the Republicans do they just don’t have to pretend to hate them for their base they are replacing the labor with. And will also accept cheap slaves if they can get them.
Democrats are even some of the largest receivers of donations from weapons manufacturers they just more carefully call it “Defense Funds”.
Do not fail to see the upper party member apathy as anything other than acceptable oligarchy capitalism with anger that they will have to try harder on social pandering.
Probably better than someone like Bernie would be. Only because the rich would pull their money out and crash the economy so they could blame it on him. Personally I’d call it economic terrorism and put them all in Guantanamo
“senior Democrats” would rather Trump than a progressive. At least Trump is good for their stocks.

True
There are several HUGE ‘left’ spaces on Lemmy.
None of them have any advice, none of them are ‘leading the charge’ of reforming the USA.

Are there Liberal spaces on Lemmy where liberals accomplish anything? That shit happens in the real world dawg.
Organize in your local community like leftists in the real world do
Lol @ dawg
So relatable.
Go be mad people different than you exist 🤷
Imagine thinking this is worth secreting out of your brain 11 days later.
It’s rough having responsibilities IRL. Can’t always be in front of a keyboard.
yes I’m glad you made the time for that great contribution
Me too 👉👈
You’re making huge contributions yourself with your shitty behavior and childish perspectives.

Want to start something for real?
I do real shit in real spaces.
This website is for shitposts and memes lmao. Collect yourself, coward
Lemmy is pretty much just reddit
Yea that’s becoming clear af.
Just a way for lefty cunts to pull ad revenue from shitty client apps.
The communities are dead or malevolently political.
This place is a fucking cancer
They (wrongly) think that they’re too powerful to be harmed.
He’s not though.

Hard to get that calculus right well into one’s 80s
Or names apparently
Divide and conquer. Tale as old as time
