Of course he is. Take some of your most popular, and arguably most effective, policies and just stop doing them.

Oh wait, those help normal Americans. That's right, we don't do that here.

How many times do story rich games have to succeed before executives pull their heads out their collective ass and realize that there's 100% a market for them?

That's all? That's such a small percentage of his worth...

I think George Carlin was right in that interview where he said there doesn't need to be a formal conspiracy; they go to the same schools, sit on the same boards, own the same businesses. They know what's best for them, and if they all continue to act for self enrichment, they'll stay entrenched in power.

He doesn't care about us. None of them do. The only time he's done anything to actually stand up against the rising tide of shit we're all experiencing has been to defend his own son.

The supreme Court has given him incredible power, and he's a lame duck president. He should be doing everything possible to make improvements for us and ruin Trump's agenda, but instead he's going to throw up his hands and ride off into the sunset with his failson.

This. The Dems are doing literally anything they can to avoid blaming their messaging.

Support for Russia's genocidal invasion of Ukraine in no way supports anti-US hegemony stances. They're literally stealing children and indoctrinating them-the same thing the US did while committing genocide against the First Peoples.

Just opposing the US doesn't make Russia the good guys.

I disagree. I don't think accelerationism is the answer. But given how fucked everything is, I also don't have a better one...

I think there were two different investigations. I suspect the ethics committee one has fewer hurdles to overcome in order to make it public. (Don't quote me on that—I may be mistaken)

As I said in another comment, Tankies are often in support of the modern Russian state and the modern CCP. These are not positions that are "left of the DNC".

That's not entirely accurate. I'm sure some use it that way, but it's not "left of the DNC" to support the modern Russian state and its actions, which is the problem most people have with Tankies.
