    Well some would, 70% of Americans would still be paycheck to paycheck.

    We need to expect better.

    It’s probably better for people to be uncomfortable and for us to broach the issue of wealth inequality in our country now.

    Neoliberals give us a world where just the well off white people have brunch.

    Maybe they’d be at brunch, I imagine I’d still be attending protests in solidarity against the genocide in Gaza. I doubt I would even be able to afford to go out to brunch under Harris, considering I couldn’t under Biden.

    What is the point of this bullshit pining for a mythical “good America?” This country fucking sucks and has sucked for longer than I’ve been alive. Maybe instead of smugly claiming “well my status quo would be better,” let’s accept that we’re a dogshit country and use this as an opportunity to start fresh.

    Nah, if she was okay with fascism in Palestine, she would have been fine with fascism in the USA too. Both parties are owned by the same oligarchs. The difference is, Trump brags about sending people to a foreign death camp and Democrats tend to keep their atrocities low key. Biden deported far more people than Trump, but Biden never bragged about it. That’s the real difference between the parties. Noisy fascists vs stealthy fascists.

      I like it when there is more genocide. I do not like it when there is less genocide. Most optimal would be no genocide, but since that is not presently an option I cannot bear to choose the lesser of two evils. We are killing the men on Phobos and not the men here on Luna, and that is preposterous. The Indigo Lunarians are allowing the Martians to massacre the Phobians and may yet be persuaded through activism and the work of special interest groups out of even that, blech. We should empower the Rouge Lunarians to continue the campaign on Phobos, increase the flow of weapons and money to the Martians, and also begin a campaign of genocide here on Luna, since the notion of choosing less or more genocide is flawed and the internal collapse of our wholly evil Lunarian Imperium is all that really matters anyway. Then if there is time we can ride out to Phobos and liberate the one or two Phobians that survive. I am an apogean leftist and a humanist. Lunarians should all die for being wrongheaded, and I care little for any refugee of blighted Terra fool enough to seek refuge on Luna. Down with the Indigo Lunarians. If you are concerned for the fate of the Phobians, vote for the third party Viridis Lunarians or don’t vote at all. Not that voting works.

      I loathe the moral inconsistency of liberal Lunarians.

      This is you. This is how you sound. You sound like a fucking moon man.

        There is no such thing as part time fascism. You either support human rights or you don’t. Make up all the crazy stories about space people you want. No one is going to gaslight me into thinking a politician who supports a genocide actually cares about my rights or yours. If they will sell out one group of people they will sell us all. They have no morals or empathy. Less or more genocide? There is no such thing. People are either being rounded up and killed or they aren’t. It isn’t diet soda, it’s human lives.

          Because you fell for an international psyop and gave up on democratic princaples the opportunity was lost to push the democrats left. It would take more than one election cycle to untangle the century long project of Zionism from the American imperial interest, but perhaps a new generation of staunchly left young voters could have made the difference. I’m sorry good things take time and work, but your worthless attitude is now killing more people than were dying initially. Palestine and Israel have been fighting for a long time but there was a path toward a two state solution that was recognized by the international community. But accelerationists, nazis, and supposed leftists teamed up to fuck that all up. Now Republican white nationalists backed by a core of evangelical apocalypse cultists have all the power. They believe Israel is the key to starting the end of the world and bringing Jesus back. And they also hate coloreds, queers, and free thinkers. If you don’t understand that things could have been better, you’re a genocide enabling useful idiot.

          There is such a thing as less people dying. You chose maximum genocide. Do not pass go. Do not collect 200 dollars. Go directly to jail.
