In their despair at Donald Trump’s victory, liberal pundits are concluding that the masses, especially the working class, are irredeemably terrible. That’s apolitical nonsense.

    I wish they would give up and let people who actually want to win get a chance. So sick of neoliberal “WE NEED YOUR MONEY OR TRUMP WILL EAT YOUR CHILDREN” bullshit. Give me an actual platform that doesn’t include genocide or throw queer/disabled/minorities under the bus and maybe you’ll actually have a chance? It’s so telling how they never address the eligible voters that refrain from doing so. There will always be non-voters because people are lazy but there’s millions that would if YOU ACTUALLY OFFERED THEM FUCKING ANYTHING.

    Death to America

        Look at what Claudia Sheinbaum ran on and what she’s doing now that she won in Mexico. A taste: one million houses to be built by the government and offered at cost with interest free mortgages. No developers or other middlemen jacking the price up. The kind of infrastructure project that neoliberals would never dare to even whisper because they would be assassinated by the real estate lobby.

        Hm, it just occurred to me that politicians could say they oppose genocide.

        We’re pretty big on the PSL as an alternative to the Dems around here. Here’s their website if you want to give it a look and see what they’re all about: https://pslweb.org/
