    That makes no sense. How is our economic system highly controlled in the US? Corporations run rampant, with scant regulation compared to some places like Europe.

    A government’s size being big doesn’t instantly equal less capitalism if that government doesn’t do as much as it could to reel in corporate interests.

    Case in point, our government here in the US is big but is controlled by corporate interests to such a degree that despite knowing about human made climate change since the late 60s, basically nothing has actually been done about it. Or how whenever there is any push for even a public option to live alongside private insurance, insurance companies go into overdrive running ads and paying politicians to push back against it so it never gets brought up after an election season.





  • Yea I’m so elite. That’s why I barely survive paycheck to paycheck, don’t have healthcare, don’t have much with regards to retirement funds, and have to ration my food. And I’m fucking 33.

    Fuck you, you elitist old man. Democratic elite are showing their true colors, that they don’t give a fuck about us. We are trying to tell him that he’s going to lose to a fascist with his shitty debate performance, and he’s pretending it didn’t happen and trying to gaslight us. It’s not that we want trump because we don’t. But we are worried that his shit performance will depress the vote into not voting, which is a very real threat and will lead to fascism.

    If we fall into fascism it won’t be the voters fault, it’ll be the fault of the elite ruling class. We didn’t have to go in this direction, but we have been going here because Republicans keep going further authoritarian and the Democratic party barely tries to push back.













    • In favor of gun ownership without governmental limitations

    Yea, because it’s done so well for us in the US having lax gun laws, right?

    • Wants to freeze relationships with China, Russia, Brazil because they’re communists.

    Umm, someone has no idea what communism is…

    • Against the Pope because he represents evil on Earth, and because it promotes communism which goes against the holy scriptures.

    Fucking WHAT 🤣 ok this jackass obviously hasn’t read the new testament either. Because Jesus and what he preached was the antithesis of what he stands for.
