If people knew what was good for them, they would have supported him. Instead, racism, bigotry and intolerance was a priority for the majority of Americans. Good job fucking yourselves over last election. I hope Trump keeps this shit up till you guys reach the boiling point....

Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of good folks in America, but arguably, not enough yet.

    Well, our "left" party instead decided to call Bernie Sanders racist during the primaries and do everything they could, twice, to keep him from winning their primary. So, it's not just racist voting for Trump that does this. The entire political establishment is absolutely terrified of an actual leftist running on the Democratic ticket for president.

    Because once every 4 years when Americans actually pay attention to politics for a month or two, they would overwhelmingly vote for a leftist pushing progressive working class policies. No matter how "racist" they are. Racist in this country also have had someone they know experience crippling medical debt.

    The 30% of this country that votes for racism and bigotry is the only group of people that actually see their policy positions get passed. The rest of us got garbage healthcare reform, more wars, more police state and surveillance, oh, and a genocide from the "not racist" party.

    The racist bigots are the only ones with a lot of motivation to go to the polls. At least they get something for taking time off work to go vote.

    “What do you tell voters who are new to the process who say this makes them feel like it’s all rigged?” Tapper asked the DNC chair.

    “Unpledged delegates exist really to make sure that party leaders and elected officials don’t have to be in a position where they are running against grassroots activists,” Wasserman Schultz calmly explained.

    Fuck Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Fuck the DNC. They literally worked against the will of the people to install an establishment candidate and told the world they did it. This is not democracy. This is the event that radicalized me.

    Don't forget the Democratic National Convention ratfucking Bernie twice. Establishment Democrats can't let progressives get into power because it threatens their own, since Dems and Cons share a lot of the same donors (AIPAC, etc.).

    I've always wanted to watch it and finally got around to it. Great show, wish I didn't sleep on it!

    I did a Binge Watch January (totally didn't make this up) and caught up on a half dozen shows. I got some whiplash going from Barry to The Good Place to Severance lol

    I'm still surprised and low-key amazed by the writers of The Good Place. Making a show about philosophy, existentialism and theology all mixed together into a great comedy is a feat and they pulled it off really well.

    Even when I literally called the "twist" of season 1 from the first episode I enjoyed the walk there and never felt like it was super contrived. They easily could have taken that plot and ran it into the ground.

    Honestly I can't think of another show that's dug into some pretty meaty philosophy and made it so much fun!

    I'm always going to be a little bit pissed off that we never got President Bernard Sanders.

    Of course, I realized this right away. When we are done destroying everything, we are going to have to pay to fix it all up, as well as fix our own broken government.

    Before we take it out of the Treasury, though, we should confiscate the entire fortunes and corporations of a few people, starting with Trump, Musk, Theil, Ellison, Bezos, the Waltons, and a bunch more. They wanted MAGA, they supported MAGA, and that choice will cost them every penny they've stolen to clean up their mess.

    Why? It doesn't have to be. We are in unprecedented times, and it will require unprecedented solutions. Just because our elected leaders were too cowardly to do it the past, doesn't mean we have to keep following their shameful malpractice.

    Perhaps the biggest one is a conscious decision that the citizens do not exist to serve the wealthy. The wealthy are allowed to keep their wealth, as long as they are serving the needs of the citizens. As soon as they are found to be hoarding wealth, abusing their employees or the systems, engaging in corruption, etc., they will be imprisoned, and their entire fortune confiscated, and their families prohibited from accessing government assistance.

    The wealthy will quickly learn that wealth comes with important responsibilities and harsh punishments, and it might not be worth it to be wealthy.

    If the US doesn't bail out the UAE they will need to sell some of their $2 trillion in assets to fund their SimCity in the dessert thats suffering because of Epstein's Epic Fuck-up Fury. A lot of those assets are in companies owned by Trump and his Oligarch friends.

    I honestly wasn't sure which ruthless dictator family he was talking about...Trumps or UAE. I take it he is referring to money going to the UAE here?
