    If I am a dipshit, someone tell me why because I literally cannot see why now is the time to not make use of what we can. Americans have had a planned economy before and had their knee on billionaires necks back last century clearly it’s possible for a transitional socialist America to exist. Why am I stupid? Why are some online leftists engaging with the public with such an uppity manor in regard to this moment?

      Bernie is a zionist, he thinks the only issue is netanyahu…which is remotely not true. This is coming from someone who cast the only vote of his life for him and embarrassingly convinced others to do so to. Also gave money to him and now I want a refund. Bernie just gives up to the DNC at the slightest hint of adversity and he is an imperialist. That latter part is unforgivable. Being antiimperialist is a minimum requirement and I don’t care about the imperial core more each day. I don’t care if people backing a genocide get Healthcare. Sorry

        Comrade Jones put it nicely into a metaphor

        Lauding them for their “progressive” policy ideas (that don’t go anywhere) is picking corn kernels out of a pile of shit and presenting them as gold. They are not comrades. They are tools of the capitalists through and through.

        You’re right, during this important moment they are sinisterly conflating all the sins of the apparatus towards singular individuals, they’re trying to pull the same “denazification” trick the Nazis did in Europe after the war to give itself a friendlier makeover. I mentioned it somewhere else, but truly I think I’ve just been getting in my own head, so thank you for also slapping some sense into me <3

        Every word you said was true, thanks again <3

          For sure, I like lemmygrad because it’s very open to learning and I have changed a lot of my opinions here too. Thanks for operating in good faith.
