For decades, we have been in the streets in defense of the Palestinian people, and will continue to fight until the total liberation of Palestine!

    Tell me, does the ACA save and improve lives of the average person: yes or no?

    Not nearly as many could be if the Democrats were willing to abolish private healthcare, and weren’t in the pockets of big pharma

    Does investing in repairing bridges mean that people will be less likely to die: yes or no?

    Not nearly as many as investing in public transit and high speed rail, rather than remaining in the pockets of the automotive industry

    Does enshrining the right to abortion (at a state level thus far) improve the lives of the average person: yes or no?

    Absolutely, it’s on the Dems that this was never federally implemented.

    The democrats are trying to mass deport legal immigrants and have a plan to kill off all sexual minorities by labeling them pedophiles? News to me.

    Yep, take a look at all the kids in cages under Biden along the border.

    I’d rather gamble on a peaceful regime change over the possibility of millions of people dying because we fucked the revolution and let another Stalin take power…

    Even under Stalin life expectancy doubled, healthcare was free and widely available, employment was guaranteed, education was free and widely available at the college level, and workers had more PTO than in the US. Was Stalin some grand hero? No, of course not, but the revolution was widely successful, not a failure. Read Why do Marxists Fail to Bring the “Worker’s Paradise?”, it’s only 20 minutes instead of a full book, though you absolutely need to read Blackshirts and Reds if you’re going to continue this historical revisionist nonsense.

      So the Democrats did improve the lives of people, you’re just bitching because they didn’t complete the revolution themselves lmfao.

      Just admit you want the worst possible situation to occur under the Republicans so the revolution is more likely to happen or whatever and cut the bullshit dude.

        Bandaids on a gaping wound is like celebrating a fire department that throws a bucket on the raging flames, lmao.

        Just admit you want the worst possible situation to occur under the Republicans so the revolution is more likely to happen or whatever and cut the bullshit dude.

        I don’t, so I won’t. You keep pressing this point because you can’t read books and can’t engage with my points.

          So you don’t want to improve people’s lives by your admission and would rather let things get worse because they don’t magically make everything better completely.

          Jesus christ, I don’t think I’d want the revolution to succeed if you don’t want to improve people’s lives while working to make things better long term.

            No, I would rather get the firehose out and start putting the fires out, rather than acting like the bucket is the best we can do. I already said, developing high speed rail, free healthcare and education, massively expanded public housing, all of that is extremely achievable. Other countries, even developing ones, manage to do it. You have this defeatist mentality that the Democrats are somehow trying their best but just entirely inept, when in reality they serve their donors alone.

            Jesus christ, I don’t think I’d want the revolution to succeed if you don’t want to improve people’s lives while working to make things better long term.

            All improvements are gradual, the Dems are doing less than the bare minimum and are expecting applause for it. Cuba has better LGBT legislation than the US does, there’s no excuse.

              So all improvements are gradual, but also I won’t vote for gradual change, but also the Dems should be doing more while having to fight for any reform in the split government. Got it.

                Dems aren’t gradual change but virtue signalling, they serve their donors. There’s a difference between gradual change and kabuki theatre.
