There are very few people in the world that are more worthless than Democratic political consultants.

Like I said, Biden is still going, so there is no "inaction". The agenda just hasn't been announced. Do you have any clue what's involved in putting the President on the street with workers? We know it can be done because Biden has done it before, unlike every president before him. However, it's not something that an administration is going to be able to announce on a whim the moment his plans need to change. Seriously, get a fucking clue.

The term "court packing" has a very specific meaning. It refers to adding seats to the supreme court to shift the balance.

I am so damn tired of the bad guys winning. Voters in this country are ignorant as fuck so money beats all.

Austerity programs in the US have nothing to do with saving the government money. It's literally the goal to make life worse for working Americans, this making them more subservient to employers.

That's what happens when the establishment uses their stranglehold over mainstream media to strong arm a primary. The right wing is going to right wing, and misinformation is their whole game. Democrats can learn to be a party that can win in that environment, or they can let institutional inertia destroy the country. They seem to be leaning to the latter.

Conversely, every single time someone makes a legitimate criticism of Biden or the Democratic establishment (and there are many to be made), someone dismisses it as "both sides".

Democrats are undoubtedly better than Republicans. Biden is undoubtedly better than Trump. Both parties are still corrupted by mega-donors and entrenched elitism.

Please, can we not go to war on behalf of Israeli fascists? Please?

The vast majority of which should have been forgiven decades ago.

Yet it wasn't until this Presidency.

They aren't protecting us from TikTok, they are protecting themselves from us. They put a lot of resources into controlling mass media then got blindsided by social media. Now they have social media mostly under control, but only in this country. They can't risk the next Bernie Sanders giving people hope for a better world.

Sometimes it may be subsidized somewhat, sure, but the vast majority of it is coming out of pocket for these companies.

You seem awfully sure about that. What are you basing it on? MRNA research alone was massively funded with taxpayer money. Coding for new proteins is almost trivial compared to what went into developing the technology.

There is no population crisis, unless you mean there are too many people. Most of the work we do is entirely unnecessary and only exists to help billionaires become trillionaires. At least that's the case in countries that don't need meat to throw in front of bullets.

Necessary jobs are mostly farming, mining, manufacturing, and customer service. The first two have already been automated to need only a tiny percentage of the workforce they once require. Manufacturing is mostly there as well, and is getting closer all the time. Customer service still employs a lot of humans, but even those jobs are being replaced or augmented with physical or logical bots.
