    Silver lining: it’s gonna get bad enough we can start nationalizing shit as early as 2029 like FDR did after the great depression.

    If a candidate said:

    There should be no utilities monoplies by for profit companies

    Fucking 99.99% of voters would listen to anything else they had to say.

    There’s so many things that need fixed that everyone agrees on, we just haven’t had a candidate free of corporate influence.

    But the next Dem primary is a better shot than we’ve ever had. We just need to make sure as many people as possible vote in the primary.

      After electing the orange pedo menace TWICE into office, I sincerely doubt this

        Yeah, they’re really not taking into consideration how effective the propaganda has been over the past 10 years or so. It’s frightening that you literally cannot convince people with facts and logic at this point, and it truly feels unwinnable.

        So leave it with the oligarchs who are actively brining trump to make it worse?

        What the fuck kind of learned helplessness is this?

        Yeah they beat and starve us, but if we stop them from doing it someone might show up and if we let them they’d beat and starve us to!!!

        Like, fucking newsflash man:

        This is a continual fight, and boomers acting like it wasn’t is why shit is like it is today. No matter what happens this fight never stops

          There are in fact othet options besides oligrarchs/capitalists and the state.

          A lot of the electrical grid is actually cooperativly owned. A majority of coverage actually.

            Sure, if you care about miles of wire and not customers, it sounds huge…

            But anyone who hears that should be able to quickly figure out why it’s not relevant

              By pop its about a third of the country. Though for this discussion, it kind of doesnt fucking matter. You could make it 100%, and give neither the fascist state or the oligarchs control.
