  • See, that’s not what I said, though. I can say that it would be great to have universal healthcare, but that we cannot “pray it into existence,”

    lol! Talk to the 45 million people who are getting Obamacare.

    Even Obama called the ACA a ‘starter house’ but if we listened to you those folks wouldn’t have anything.

    Gay rights is another example of progress that was made without your Revolution.

    Good bye


  • You keep repeating the same thing over and over.

    People should not have any health insurance at all until the Revolution comes and makes it perfect.

    People should accept tanspeople getting killed until the Revolution.

    We shouldn’t do anything to improve anything until the revolution.

    Like I said, you’re the best friend the fascists ever had.


  • You can’t just pray progress into existence

    Except there was actual progress under Carter, Clinton, and Obama. It wasn’t huge, but it was progress. You choosing to ignore it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

    You’re the one who has gone faith based. You can’t give me one actual fact to make me think the USA is anywhere near a Socialist revolution.

    And I can point to Blackwater and the other mercenary companies to show that if the Revolution comes, it will be instantly subverted.


  • I don’t believe there’s a path to that, unless there is already revolutionary pressure bubbling and risking the entire system.

    There’s the problem right there. You’re ready to throw away any progress because it isn’t perfect

    You guys saw Ronald Reagan, but couldn’t get behind Carter because he wasn’t good enough.

    Same with Bush and Gore, and Clinton and Trump.

    You guys are the biggest friends the Right ever had.

    Heck, go back to the 1930s. The Fascists then labeled themselves Anti-Communist and reaped the rewards.

    The road to hell is paved with good intentions. That’s all you have. good intentions.









  • Patton Oswalt had an interesting take on Presidents and media.

    He said that when John Kennedy was President it was all James Bond and the Rat Pack; really cool guys doing cool guy stuff.

    When Obama was President you had a lot of superhero movies; the lone hero coming in to fix everything.

    With Trump you had the multiverse; everything is a lie and nothing means naything.

    Yes, we should definitely not have something like Sweden or the old New Deal. We should let children grow up in poverty, let old people suffer, and let the planet burn while we sit around discussing Trotsky and the Second International in hopes that the revolution will come.

    iirc de La Cruz got less than 100,000 votes.
