Hey, don’t lump gen X in with the boomers. We’re their original victims.

Oh look. Racist defends racism and doubles down.

You’ll fit right in when Trump takes over.

Wow look… casual racism

As some old guy said, “Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains.”

I didn’t abstain, but the blame doesn’t lie entirely with them. This feels like 2016 all over again, down to blaming the voters instead of the party.

People want change and are unhappy with the state of things, so the Democratic Party runs a status quo candidate against a (psychotic liar) who is making promises about change.

At least a charismatic candidate like an Obama (who doesn’t actually rock the status quo boat too much) would have rallied voters. Why is the Democratic Party so bad at this?

We’ve been spending the last generation funneling as much money to the oligarchs as possible. We’ve seen what that did/does to Russia’s capabilities and we’re somehow surprised that it works the same way here too.

It takes a lot of sugar for it to act as a preservative. Like candy levels of sugar. Below those levels it’s part of a growth medium (i.e., food).

Of course he is.

He’s not the bar we need to rate everybody against, though. Being better than Trump is not enough. Let’s hold our government to reasonable standards.

We built an entire system based on perverse incentives and then act surprised at the outcomes.

In before “But… but… whatabout Trump!”

This sort of bad faith badgering is what he does. The best strategy is to avoid engaging with him at all. He has nothing better to do with his time and will keep it up indefinitely.

Also note that he’s a mod on many of the channels he posts on and has been alleged to wield the cudgel readily.

Americans aren’t lining up to do these jobs at low wages, without proper worker protections. Creating a society that depends on a lower tier of people that have fewer rights is seriously fucked up and is not something we should be embracing.

Siding with the rich business owners who are taking advantage of illegal immigrants is extra weird.
