      A large part of the problem (but not the only problem) is the constant suppression being done by Republicans at every step. If we just had compulsory voting and a day off to vote then they’d never win again. That’s why they keep doing everything they can to prevent people from voting.

        Fully agree. Look at the social-democracies with the highest rates of satisfaction and they all have >90% voter turnouts and sometimes mandatory voting.

        I’m all for calls to violence against the billionaire class but we could really do without this kind of anti-intellectual bullshit.

        Like if you really want the working class to rise up violently than go easy on this cringey edgelord shit that only appeals to 14 year olds.

            Exactly the juvenile behaviour that precludes you from a seat at the adult table.

            Ignorance got us into this mess and people like you are just another aspect of the same ignorance.

              Ignore them. They’re too busy patting themselves on the back about how smart they’re being yet they’re too stupid to realize that less good is better than catastrophic.
