  • I see you're the one that responded with a page of why Dems suck when I said the Dems wield power differently but not against Capitalism. Maybe you live in a part of the world where there is no material difference between the two parties but that is not the lived reality for myself or my neighbors. This is not a centrist saying "well actually the Dems don't suck as much as you say", it is a Marxist saying you cannot build a coalition while ignoring the material conditions people are experiencing.

  • Okay, one still should vote for a Democrat president. Because why would you vote for a more hostile government? Unless of course you want everything go-to shit but you should lead with your intention.

  • Overproduction of commodities is certainly a problem for capitalists. But the workers get to enjoy a lower cost of living. Like I would much prefer we built ghost cities (Chengdu was derided as a ghost city at one point) than have a decades long housing crisis with no signs of improving unless we deport millions of people.

  • So I guess you'd say we should change nothing and ignore the wildly eroding support and the poll numbers showing the democratic party has just 28% favorability?

    My brother in Christ, you're not talking to a liberal here.

  • He has jumped onto the "abundance" strategy with his plan to address the housing crisis: cut out "special interests" like unions and environmentalists from power. If your project is affordable housing then your union rate is no longer accepted. So yes, his policy direction is about making the bargaining table smaller by kicking out some of the middle class.

  • Listen to yourself. You're saying the Democrats are our only hope yet they also don't listen.

    Democrats do listen, but only to those with power. Before anything can change for the better we need power for ourselves.

  • Except MAGA is not neoliberalism unless we think tariffs are now "free trade". I get the point that neither party will wield power against capitalism, but they still use their power differently.
