What are you saying here?

Agree to disagree on that one. At least for a big proportion of folks who are snobby about having an iPhone.

In reality the Dems will do none of those things though. They won’t nationalize anything because they are neoliberals. They won’t fully defund ICE because they want racists to vote for them too. They’ll just reduce the budget and maybe stop putting kids in cages. They won’t shut down funding for the exec branch because they’ll say it is “irresponsible”.

More things they’ll never do:

• Demilitarise and defund the police
• Provide free public healthcare and education for all
• Raise taxes on billionaires
• Stop mass surveillance programs
• Reform the electoral system to allow proportional representation
• Properly regulate and tax corporations
• Stop providing weapons to their genocidal allies

I’d love to be proved wrong, but I’m not gonna get my hopes up.

Republicans and Democrats are both perfectly ok with state violence so long as it’s against brown people, and preferably overseas. How many millions have died from lack of access to affordable health care and an almost non-existent social safety net in the US over the past century? But those aren’t counted as ideological deaths for some reason? If you think that choosing either of the two main parties which both have an official policy of supporting foreign genocides is the lesser evil somehow, you’ve been duped. America has killed more people in wars in the past 20 years than nearly any other state, except perhaps for Russia. You’re just bent out of shape because that state violence has been turned on the domestic population for once. Anything has got to be better than the status quo.

It’s not so far from my island. If I come for a visit someday I’ll let ya know we can get lunch or married or something.
