They would have preferred to continue the institution to this day, while making unconvincing noises about “incrementally stepping away from an unpaid workforce based economy” while profiting from it and calling the US the best system in the world.

Boomers are the generation that acts like they walked on the moon because they watched people from better generations do so on tv.

That wasn’t what I…

You know what, that works too.

Phrase that differently or the wealthy will get the wrong idea.

An accessible documented API would be better. A standardized one for all vacuums would be best.

Also, avoid Kirby and Rainbow due to their scammy business model and extortionate pricing

Unless you’re buyin’ used. Kirbies are still built like tanks.

I’m not sorry that the machinations of both parties failed to give us the sex pest you preferred in office.

I guess it depends on the Democrat just like it depends on the leftist or the independent voting or refusing to vote for him.

It depends on how convenient to centrists it is.

Do you hope for at least some progress for society

Yes. Unfortunately, that’s never on the ballot, thanks to the two party hegemony. Congratulations.

I see how it is. He’s a democrat when democrats want to falsely claim that they’re worth supporting and an independent when they want to block him.

And this take is why Trump won. Congrats.

Anything but enthusiastic complicity with genocide and capitulation to republicans is “why trump won” according to the wing that would rather have trump win than tell netanyahu no ever.

You have two examples of non-quisling democrats, and one isn’t even a democrat.

Just unite behind us while we sell weapons for genocide and let republicans destroy healthcare!

So unite with progressives. Or keep attacking them instead of the republicans your wing of the party just capitulated to.

As democrats are so fond of pointing out every time someone complains about his treatment by the democratic party, Sanders is not a democrat.

Netanyahu doesn’t have the actual power in the US-Israel relationship.

I know. It’s why I’m so pissed off at biden and harris. Their hands weren’t forced. They supported genocide willingly.

Would netanyahu have really stopped letting the US use their stolen land if biden hadn’t been his personal lapdog?

That’s the excuse. The US’ interests would be better served if netanyahu’s corruption trial had proceeded.

I’m not ignoring everything except one aspect, though. Both are genocidal, and both serve the interests of the US Empire above all-else,

Hardly. Democrats made it clear that they care about netanyahu’s political career above all else.

Jesus Christ it’s like you’ve never hear the expression that the perfect is the enemy of the good.

No one’s buying that democrats are “the good” anymore. They’re not even “the adequate.”

This kind of false equivalency is how you end up with Trump.

Democrats needed to do more to differentiate themselves. But they’re still stuck in 1992 and think that if they just triangulate with fascists and treat their own base as hostages, that they’re entitled to victory.
