So disappointing Americans finally woke up to the class war a month too late
Nothing has changed. Nothing. If the election was tomorrow, Trump would still win. Don't be fooled by all of us sane Americans that exist here on Lemmy.
Right? When things are boring or good, people get complacent. But the fight for freedom is neverending.
Both parties are on the same aode of the class war. One just pays lip service to climate change and minorities while implementing all the same heinous shit.
Yeah, no. Both parties are not even remotely the same. They both suck, but one is far, far worse.
There are no classes in America.
Oh there he is.
You're seriously telling me that suburban dwelling family of four is the same as an inner city single mother raising two kids?
The whole point about classes is that different people have different outlooks based entirely on their socioeconomic situation you can't pretend that doesn't exist just because it's not nice.
Lol
And Blue Cross Blue Shield reversed their decision to limit coverage of anesthesia immediately after the shooting. We got real world examples! One oligarch dead and several others immediately loosen their oppression of everyone else.
Makes you wonder what else is on the table if a few more "claims get denied"
I like that euphemism. They claim not to be psychopathic greedy leeches, the evidence shows otherwise, we deny them.
It’s so cute how all this is en vogue while the country votes for trump.
It's only surprising if you don't understand why they voted for Trump
Edit for the people asking: it's because the democrats didn't present solutions for our economy. Regular Americans care whether they can put food on the table. An insurance CEO has a lot to do with that. They know healthcare is broken. They know about income inequality and the record corporate profits. Neither party has presented solutions to fix it, but the right wing is always willing to make up bullshit and look for scapegoats about whatever grievance will energize their base.
People are hurting right now, many of them blame Biden. Kamala promised to do more of the same, and if she promised solutions then they were lighter versions of what Trump promised. This not only legitimized Trump's positions at the national level but made the Democrats look incompetent for going back on their previous stances.
As many of us know; there are real solutions, which she was not willing to vouch for; and there are ways to combat Trump's rhetoric, which she was only willing to do in the most extreme cases but not at the fundamental level. This very predictably depressed her base. She was wholly unwilling to even pretend to champion their interests.
That's it. It's not quippy, but it's literally that simple. Stop seeing the worst in people and being uncurious just because your team lost. You aren't going to beat Republicans by acting like Republicans.
This is the perfect time of year to be scared into doing the right thing.
Every time of the year is the perfect time.
Pure shit without the "Muppets" on board!
Micheal Cane was great in a Muppet Christmas Carol because he treated the Muppets like fellow actors.
Tim Curry was great in Muppet Treasure Island because he acted like a fellow Muppet.
I haven't really seen people with Muppet acting like they're anything other than actual living beings. everyone seems to fully embrace it regardless of their acting chops. they make eye contact, listen and converse with them respectfully, even though they probably see the puppeteers very clearly.
It's a gift of respect.
Rather like how I cannot relate to robin hood unless he's an anthropomorphic fox
Patrick Stewart
Scrooge
Spits out eggnog
Downloading! I had no idea!
Dude, Patrick Stewart is like a trained Shakespearean actor. It would be shocking if he hadn't played Scrooge.
I knew he did on stage. I didn't know there was any movie or film. It was great.
The rich who are left have already seen plenty of violence. It simply does not bother them
If it takes that much effort to get them to share it simply becomes far more energy-efficient to off the whole lot of them.
cue Spongebob meme
- Fall of the Roman Republic
- French Revolution
- Russian Revolution
The first and second of those resulted in an emperor and the third, leaders for life that might as well have been called emperor. Not much of an improvement in the end. Still the wealthy in control of everyone else.
