You see 2016 was an intentional tank job to secure the #1 overall pick so we can rebuild the party into a winner!

"With the first pick in the 2020 draft, the Democrats select Joe Biden, Senator from MBNA."

I can’t even imagine the liberal psychosis that is coming in 2022 but I know it’s going to be hilarious

They'll blame the left, get more racist, and go whole hog on whatever conspiracy theory MSNBC feeds them. Probably something about China.

love that the entire mainstream media is made up of people who are both too well taken care of and too loving stupid to understand literally anything that's going on in this world. just hundreds of people writing think pieces about the alternate reality they live in.

I can't wait for Comrade Chris Hedges to be right on the endgame for the corrupt US political system.

Chris Hedges talks are so depressing to listen to. You can tell from the tone of his voice alone that everything he is saying is true and nothing will be done to prevent it.

Biden was simply unfit for the task at hand
And the party will never recover

Literally my entire life the Democrats have only cared about being marginally better than the Republicans rather than actually helping people and this is where it led them. The face of the party is a dying old man who is left holding the bag of a collapsing empire. It's all they will ultimately be remembered for. gently caress em.

Capital is definitely alarmed that the labor market is actually functioning efficiently for once as workers are, broadly, not as willing to stay in bad jobs or apply for bad jobs out of desperation. Many blame the checks for that even though it makes zero loving sense.

It makes sense when you realize they truly believed what they were saying when they claimed the checks would cover 6 months of expenses for the average family.

From r/politics of all places:


Student loan repayments are restarting soon: Here's what you need to know

"What you need to know: Biden works on behalf of the banks, not you."

"Definitely lied to get our votes last year. I'll be sure not to make the same mistake."

"Whelp, guess I’m not voting in 2022 or 2024. I guess we are all going to burn together."

"What Biden needs to know: If he lets student loan payments resume, I'll be punishing him and the Dems in the next two elections with protest votes"

it's not uncommon. you'll even get conservatives from time to time, who claim that marx was right about some narrow little thing in a specific set of circumstances, then leverage that claim as a rhetorical device to justify whatever reactionary garbage they've got cooking.

I don't think chris hedges is a reactionary, but he's doing basically the same thing: "see, I'm hip, marx was right about one or two things, now let's do all this other poo poo that definitely would have had marx saying 'no don't do that it will never work you idiot, you loving moron'"

The first thing I ever read about Marxism was this lovely short little intro book that got a lot of details wrong and included a long final chapter about how everything you just read is actually dumb and history has proven it wrong because capitalism gave us treats and everyone is very happy now (it was either written in the 90s or early 00s).

Anyway, jokes on that guy because even with his lovely description of Marxism it was the first time the world was explained to me in a way that made sense and by the time I got to that final chapter I was like "lmao eat poo poo revisionist, I'm gonna read the man himself now".

I've bitched about it a lot but what they called infrastructure is really just maintaining or fixing roads and bridges. if you have like hosed up sewers in your neighborhood that cause your sewers to back up when it rains 3" in a day (a more and more common happening now that climate change is accelerating) then you're still stuck yelling at various local government bodies to spend money on infrastructure that they don't have lol

One of the many reasons I got out of this dying city:

State regulators did what they could to prevent the Fort Lauderdale sewer mess that experts predicted years before a major pipeline sprang leaks in December–and kept on spewing waste for almost three months.

But Fort Lauderdale failed to protect itself. Now, in the middle of a pandemic, the city is fighting a costly rearguard action to restore the sewage system, rescue marine life and preserve clean water.

While there is no villain in this saga, the state blames a budgeting technique that siphoned funds away from sewer projects to other services at times when the money was desperately needed for sewer projects. 

Lol "no villain in this saga"

my mom was convinced that obama was a nice man and was completely uninterested in evidence to the contrary.

I hate the tan suit thing because they take it as Obama being so squeaky clean that Fox News was desperate to find anything negative to say about him when in reality they couldn't criticize him on policy because they actually agreed with the vast majority of what he was doing.
