They're not capable of long term planning like that. We can barely lay fiber in dense neighborhoods, and some places only get LTE. Imagine how much infrastructure would have to be built, billions of dollars of fiber means billions of dollars that aren't going directly into the pockets of billionaires.

You can do democracy, its just not compatible with capitalism. When's the last time Cuba gave arms to a dictator so their populace doesn't rise up and stop giving them cheap labor and resources?

Free healthcare and childcare polls well even among republicans. The "99% hitler" triangulation strategy that has been conventional wisdom among the dem political class for decades attracts nobody.

China's big gun manufacturer was banned because supposedly they were trying to sell machine guns and tanks to gangs. But I genuinely think this was just a pretense to justify protectionism and China wouldn't do something so cool.

Trump ran on "It sucks now, and I have a concept of a plan for the best healthcare ever".

Trump spoke towards a truth we all feel about how bad it is, then lied about the cause and what he was going to do, democrats told us better things aren't possible, america is already great, but if you vote for us, we miiight consider doing .01% less genocide.

People fell for it because the alternative "Shut the fuck up and vote for tax cuts for small business owners and The Most Lethal Military Evar!" is too depressing.

America and Israel voted against, our other satellites abstained, our victims voted in favor.

The small capitalists have a unique set if interests. They're not the biggest beneficiary of the system, but they tend to be fascism's most rabid soldiers. These are the people who did J6.

Nah, New England drivers are generally pretty good, I have yet to see a Japanese driver do something dumb. Vietnamese drivers are so good they need to handicap themselves by ignoring all traffic laws while texting and driving a clapped out motorbike after drinking 4+ beers.

Swalwell said the ongoing discussions he’s having with other Democrats would go further than that, making ICE funding contingent on first prohibiting masks.
