American political parties only exist to dangle keys in front of gormless libs while private corporations kill us all for money.
Buttitodds plan is clearly to not do the smallest, tiniest thing corporate interests won’t like during his entire term.
Biden, his administration (and of course Buttigreg) didn’t do shit for ~2 weeks after the derailment. Trump showed up so it’s Orange Man Bad. That allows Buttimike to show up for his own photo-op and he’s heralded as some kind of hero who is actually doing something.
Look, I’m as jokerfied as anyone else here, but it’s amazing how democrats can let themselves get outmaneuvered on the left by the bad orange man.
I’d say democrats deserve to lose again, but they already showed that they would rather lose than actually run a country. Liberalism is bottoming but for politics.
I got banned for the nth time at r/politics a while ago. 8 months maybe. Unlike the other nth times - I never bothered to make a new alt because it seemed like a fool’s errand. In that sub - there tend to be only two plausible outcomes for me…
- I say what I think - the trajectory is pretty clear. Something like… I pretty quickly I get a temp ban. And then a longer temp ban. And then - of course - a permaban.
or
- I end up censoring myself so much posting is no fun at all.
Like if somebody there says how “progressive” Biden is and that they are impressed by him - me and that redditor don’t just live in different realities of the US - we live in different universes. Trying to pull them into my reality will never work. And I’ll never be on their rah-rah-rah cheerleading team for Team Democrats. Why do I bother?
