democrats get pissed when we say both sides are the same and then just bend over backwards to anything the trump regime asks of them.
That’s not really a fair characterization of the situation.
All but seven Democrats did the right thing here by voting against the nominee. The vote also took place at the beginning of February, before the scale and scope of public anger over Trump’s seizure of power became apparent.
There’s also upsides to Luigi
Why does it surprise you that democrats are voting for Trump picks? The democrats are barely to the left of republicans. You people need to stop seeing them as an opposition party, because they’ve literally come out and said they don’t want to be that.
Kinda sorta. It took about two weeks of constituent pressure to get the Democrats to start behaving like an opposition party. So the early nominees got a lot of Democrats voting for them.
So there were a lot of votes like this in the first week of February. At this point, the only Senate Democrat pulling this kind of stunt is Fetterman
There are upsides… humanity kills themselves and earth will recover eventually.
Or to our wealthy overlords … it will kill off the “surplus population” and leave more room and resources for them.
The wealthy overlords require a multitude of cheap labor to retain their wealth. That’s why they are so concerned about falling birth rates - listen to any of them talk about it, it has nothing to do with concern for the planet like any of the rest of us (less demand on resources that we are already depleting, etc), they are concerned about maintaining the current rates of production and labor if the next generations are smaller and smaller. Sure, Vance is talking about it from a “family values” perspective, because that’s a cloak he thinks his base will listen to, but listen to Musk talk about it, or any of the “pro-natalist” movement.
But there will be fewer of us to collect, process, and deliver those resources. This means that those of us who are left will be able to command higher wages and better working conditions. (Not high or better enough, mind you, but higher and better.)
That’s why they’re investing heavily in AI
Ask the Irish about that.
Which is what our class wars will be based on … which group should be left or eliminated in order to serve the masters because one group has to go.
That’s the funniest thing. The wealthy have bunkers and all that but don’t have the skills to actually survive.
Best part is those bunkers will be filled a handful of physically weak billionaires and money makers surrounded and outnumbered by well trained soldiers, mercenaries and military people. The wealthy owners believe that they hired honourable, loyal dedicated soldiers … but once the lights go out and everyone is on their own, who do you think will want to take over those bunkers?
That’s why the billionaires want shock collars on their security squads.
Makes a lot of sense Muskrat is pouring money into the neurolink.
Oh I’m sure the rich will be just fine. The rest of us are replaceable ☺️
The upsides are that he’ll die with us.
Seven of how many?
Seven of 45 Democrats - and at the beginning of February before the strength of constituent anger had really sunk in for elected officials.
Democrats are in it with Republicans
A few Democrats are. Most are not.
