[–] slappypantsgo@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (2 children) You think he was lobbied directly for the confirmation? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] vivendi@programming.dev 11 points 1 year ago* Not directly, but the democrats are a right wing bourgeoisie liberal party, so they essentially serve the interests of capital The interests of capital eventually leads to imperialism and when that starts to crack (<- you're here), fascism. Unless the actual socialists win. And you know what? I don't think socialism had a chance in yankee land. They have spent decades upon decades brainwashing the population in a highly compatible fashion. The highest point of American radical action is just some adventurism terrorist shit that doesn't do anything. Ask Americans to actually organize and do vanguard action and they'll screech at you, because the bourgeoisie media and education has made you an slave inside your own brain. So yeah, democrats or whatever. Why does it matter if fascism comes in 9 years or 4 years, you guys are straight up fucked. If you live in yankee land, emigrate your ass before you lose your ass permalink fedilink source parent [–] hernanca@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago My most generous reading of democrat inaction is that right now their only power at the federal level is obstruction in Congress. This obstruction may eventually lead to government shutdown and this would be the greatest gift you could give a dictator. Let's just say that some ICE agents and DOGE maniacs will keep working because they are in it for things beyond money, so to speak. permalink fedilink source parent
