    And nothing will be fixed while “the left” in the US still worship and lionize Carter, who started all the mess.

    Yes, Trump is literally worse, but both parties are two sides of the same coin. You cannot save the country by electing neo-liberals, it’ll always be further right than before.

        What the democrats are doing to oppose trump (basically fucking nothing) is the most damning evidence of all, in my opinion. They are controlled opposition.

        Democrats enabled him and did nothing in the gap between his first and second term to prevent him from executing the out in the open takeover plan. They did start genocide and lost the election because they ran campaign on “the most lethal military” instead of stopping the genocide, and your dumb ass still think the Democrats are you friends.

        The Democrats have proven over the last 50 years that they do not meaningfully oppose Republican values.

        It’s time you start engaging with reality with the rest of us.

          So by your logic, had Harris won the last election we would still be watching the fall of the USA and the rise of a second Nazi wave?

            By my logic, if Harris were elected, the vast majority of Americans would see no meaningful positive change. People would get sick of waiting for these policies that will never reach or help them by design, then they elect another Republican out of spite and apathy.

            So just the same things that happened with every dem in the last 50 years.

              No positive change is surely still significantly better than seeing a massive downturn and an uprising of a second Nazi regime… I don’t get your point.

              We’re all gonna die eventually, so should we be advocating for more murderers?

                So if the only parties available result in decline, when does a party come along that wants to progress instead of stagnate or regress?

                Time to grow up as a society and pull this baindaid off that we have apathetically suffered for our entire lives

                  Sure, but we’re not going to pull off the bandaid by continually voting in the party that is going to fuck us over fsstest. Is it not easier to work with a slow decline than a turbocharged rocket into the ground?

      Interesting claim, the Great Man Theory of Neoliberalism.

      Every lefty I know certainly can’t stop talking about how much they love Carter’s 1976 political platform, which everyone remembers and cares about.

        Before he died, people were always fawning over Carter. Don’t pretend that isn’t true. I always accrued downvotes for mentioning his crimes. Carter was a good person, on an individual level, but he was the first neoliberal president and the person you replied to was right to point it out.
