Making their constituents feel represented is a huge part of their job

Kick someone out of their home because they aren’t profitable enough wtf?

Mostly harmless

Not just paying taxes to I’d wager. Buying products from, being indebted to, working to make richer

I don’t think anyone’s been taking the high road. I mostly just see people playing into the propaganda that keeps us from achieving class consciousness.

Iceland is white, greenland is inuit

Also Hillary was a famously unpopular candidate and still won the popular vote, and there were maaaany confounding factors to a weak democratic race in 2024 apart from Kamala’s gender

People to whom justice isn’t more than an aesthetic. I’ve seen people also turn being gay, or feminine, or poor, or overweight into an insult to hurl at people after making a point of being an ally

Billionaires are oppressors and exploiters, killers of the planet and the people alike, not sure why those can’t be the insults we use and we have to resort to thing that reinforce these social hierarchies

Unfortunately it really isn’t that profound. It exists everywhere and thinking you’re immune to being ruled by it is usually the first step in it proliferating

And then what will they campaign on next time! They all secure their jobs by not doing them

It’s bad in the richest bluest states too. Unless you’re living in the suburbs going to a district that serves upper class families, the education system in the US will invariably fail you in one way or another

We can’t acknowledge the whole country was racist in in the 1800s? the country kept black people as slaves. All kinds of industry in the north benefited from the materials produced by slavery even though they didn’t personally own the slaves

The FBI was never on the side of the working class

Isn’t that what it takes?

Resistance from within? You think Ron Swanson is toppling dictatorships?

Didn’t the cops just scuffle with a bunch of pro-palestine protestors at the Macy’s parade yesterday?

The people that like trump like that shit. The people that vote dem, at most, tolerate it but the harder they lean in that direction the less enthusiastic their base is about voting for them

Well it should also be said voting isn’t as accessible as it should be in this country. For some it could be between keeping your job or casting your vote in a state you’ve never seen painted a different color in your lifetime. It’s also just needlessly inconvenient, and that’s a lame excuse, but the people in charge know that for every little bit of hurdle you place in front of voters you’re going to keep a significant number of people home

There were gentleman thieves in the west too https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Bart_(outlaw)
