Never let your enemies define your speech.

I don’t know why Schumer should give a shit about democrats rallying against him. He will be on the ballot as a dem in New York state. It’s impossible not to be re-elected, so who cares?

Why would moderate libs car about “going left.” They want to support the “just world” they grew up in and ensure they are never made uncomfortable.

Oh right, the red party of Capital is surely “Falling Apart.” I wonder what that actually means to the author?

You are assuming that the outcome of American democracy reflects the will of the people and that voters react to politicians not meeting their needs by voting them out. That is absolutely not the case. Universal Healthcare is consistently the most important issue to voters, but no politician, not even the Democrats has ever lost their election for refusing to endorse Universal Healthcare. Additionally no politician has ever lost their job because they gave tax breaks to corporations even though there is no case where giving a tax break to Amazon, et al, improves any of their constituents lives.

Back to Healthcare, Obama Care made the insurance industry hugely rich, reduced the quality of care across all demographics, and caused the absolute healthcare crisis we are in today and yet every single idiot liberal will call it a win even if the outcomes were worse for everyone.

This goes a bit more into detail. https://www.politico.com/story/2009/12/liberals-why-didnt-obama-fight-030648

But the important part is that even though the bill did not do any of things it sought to do, Obama got to declare victory and the voters rewarded him for it. (not that they had a choice.)

Universal suffrage was a mistake. Maybe a confederation of workers councils would be better.

Paying the vendors is how the DNC grift works. The GoP can rely on ideology, but the DNC specifically exists to funnel donations to preferred vendors while maintaining plausible deniability.

The “otherside” is literally enabling everything you are saying here. You are being played, there aren’t two sides, there are zero for you.

Darn, guess governments can’t do anything, may as well not try.

Glad people like you self-select against having dangerous objects in their possession.

The right of the state to keep slaves as punishment? That’s a weird thing to care about.

Boy that’s a real convenient generalization there. Any time the people are allowed more rights it’s for racist reasons, therefore more rights should be restricted?

But also the state already has carte blanc to be racist, they have a monopoly on force and justice. They don’t need to give the citizens any rights if they just want to be racist.

That’s kind of weird don’t you think? Mass Shootings are already a rare thing, so how much minimization would you want before you are willing to “let” people have their constitutional rights. Would you apply this logic to other things that are not constitutionally protected? For example how many deaths are acceptable before you decide not to “let” people live in car dependent hell-scapes?

Ban cars. You’d have a much more livable society and it would simultaneously reduce homicides and suicides.

Which world government has actually attempted to end poverty but then failed spontaneously without undermining the goal?

In the US all success stories that actually address poverty are super small in scale, or cut as soon as some private well-connected business can redirect public funds to their private accounts. For example the constant “welfare reforms” that have been passed over the years and of course the limiting of social security and various food assistance. Healthcare in the form of medicare is constantly redirected for administration costs of private care providers that have record profits since covid.

Ok, murder is innate. So what does that have to do with guns? Are guns totemic and somehow increase the desire to murder? Are gun murders “worse” than other kinds of murder?

What if we removed the motivation to kill people at all? Or is that just impossible?

Glad that the constitution still matters.

Now let’s add the worker’s bill of rights to the constitution so that the material conditions of society are improved and mass shootings are even less common, and suicides decrease.

Why are we hearing about Hunter Biden? Did his grift dry-up? He is less relevant then UK royals and I hear almost nothing about them in american media.

The war they fight won’t be at the ballot box. It will be well before the voters are ever given a choice. They will use their monopoly on the election process to ensure that the status quo establishment dems are the only ones that are allowed to run. They will work with the donor’s to ensure that even if a primary occurs there are no funds available for the challengers. Finally if these upstarts are actually able to get to a general election, they will talk about the need for bipartisanship and push the virtues of cutting spending while fomenting distrust in society.
