    I can’t even understand what he’s trying to say. “You claim the system is broken, but it made you mad, so I guess it’s working 😎”

    Corruption is the problem

    And what breeds that corruption? No, it’s not Human Nature™, it’s capitalism that’s holding on with everything it’s got not to become a part of history

    Wow, how absolutely insufferable. I don’t like to insist that someone is an absolute loser with no friends, but holy shit, the way that smug condescending fucker spoke to you, this is someone who 100% insists that they are alone “by choice” because “everyone else is too stupid to talk to.”

      And then when we give them that answer they respond with “No! I want to believe you have no answers so I’m ignoring your response!”

      The echo chamber thing really says it all. They think we’ve never heard of liberalism before or what it proposes? This reminds me of those Evangelical movies where an atheist becomes a devout Christian because they learn about Christmas for the first time at age 23.

    If Obama wouldn’t reform the system after 2008 with such overwhelming support, I’m not sure I even want to know what crisis could lead to the kind of reforms that are needed.

      Exactly. Libs fantasies are even more ridiculous when youbthinknabout that fact. In 08, the public finally decided that the Iraq war was bad, the financial crisis hit and people did turn out to vote for the perfect avatar of libs theory of change.

      Dems had total control of the government for two years - popular president, senate super majority, freindly 5-4 Supreme Court. There was literally nothing in the way of change the way they believe it happens. And what they got was worse than nothing, and capital got everything. Even the ACA was a huge win for capital.
