        Educating yourself on the atrocities commited by both the Democrats and Republicans would have you not so excited about a “blue wave.” They’re just the other right wingers.

        You will not be saved by a ruling class bootlicker.

          Your ignorance is only surpassed by your indifference to human suffering. Your opinion means nothing to me.

          You’re completely right, but it is still better than the current option by most measures for sane people.

            It’s better for the locals, I suppose. Back to slowly boiling the working class, but equally terrible for the rest of the world. Especially the global south.

          There is a left wing in the democratic party - it is possible to get organized and help it win over the conservative wing.

            Which Democrats do not support capitalism? There’s no such thing as a capitalism supporting left wing. Bernie is probably the closest thing, though not a Democrat, and even he is pro-capitalism.

                When has the US been post war? Edit: I understand what you’re sayimg now. And you’re looking for ethical capitalism, which is a weird thing to say. In other words, ethical-exploitation. Doesn’t seem like a real thing, yeah?

                The only reason FDR caved as much as he did is because the US had a strong communist presence. They’ve fixed that. Your longing for the past is akin to conservatism, no?

                  Finally someone who gets that the New Deal was nothing more than a concession to keep the people appeased while the rest of the state apparatus systematically dismantled the “communist threat” and the very foundations that allowed the growing unrest to manifest into effect resistance over the decades to come.
