  • It’s because the rich have essentially captured both parties. There are a HANDFUL of candidates in the democratic party and among independents who have not been basically bought and paid for, and still more out there who pretend to be to the left .

    The democratic party’s only hope is REAL left-wing massive policy passage - the kind that cannot be ignored, that ignites a depressed, cynical voting base.

    Instead, they constantly try to find some shitty halfway point between pissing off incredibly rich donors, and making the working class not want to burn everything down. What that effectively means policy-wise is - is instead of things like “universal free healthcare” we get a clone of Romneycare… with the public option stripped from it by another bullshit Republicrat / “bLuE-dOg” democrat… where insurance companies get paid no matter what… but you still can’t afford insulin.

    All that then does is make people not show up for them - thinking the Democratic party - the only party NOT advocating for outright fascism - isn’t going to fight for their voting bases real tangible needs.





  • I know this will undoubtedly get me some downvotes… but at this point I really truly don’t care about honesty anymore with this guy. He deserves the same type of blatant lies his administration constantly peddles yet still allows him to be re-elected. I mean… this man got re-elected AFTER his policies literally lead to the deaths of many innocent people - including one little boy who died in his bed overnight while his family desperately tried to keep their mobile home warm - when the power outages occurred due to the “TX freedom grid” not being required to have the sort of equipment standards everywhere else in the US have.

    Say Abbott fucking eats babies. I don’t care if he hasn’t actually poked a child’s corpse with a fork and chewed their bones. He might as well have at this point considering how many have or will die as a direct result of his policies. At this point, whatever it takes to get him removed from office is justified. This “we go high when they go low” angle is and always has been unfair, and I don’t care about how it hurts anyone’s feelings or sense of personal ethics. I care about WINNING. That means getting a better person in office as soon as possible. Right now, I’ll take anything I can get.

    The spirit of what the article says is correct, and I know it’s not technically the truth, but we all know people will die from this when it DOES become law. It WILL be true in the coming years as the policy goes into effect. This article is like pointing out how maternal death rates have been rising as a result of RvW being overturned… before red-state anti-abortion laws had fully gone into effect.

    It is exaggeratory in the present, but it is a fucking FORECAST for what will occur in the future.
