If people knew what was good for them, they would have supported him. Instead, racism, bigotry and intolerance was a priority for the majority of Americans. Good job fucking yourselves over last election. I hope Trump keeps this shit up till you guys reach the boiling point....

Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of good folks in America, but arguably, not enough yet.

Well, our "left" party instead decided to call Bernie Sanders racist during the primaries and do everything they could, twice, to keep him from winning their primary. So, it's not just racist voting for Trump that does this. The entire political establishment is absolutely terrified of an actual leftist running on the Democratic ticket for president.

Because once every 4 years when Americans actually pay attention to politics for a month or two, they would overwhelmingly vote for a leftist pushing progressive working class policies. No matter how "racist" they are. Racist in this country also have had someone they know experience crippling medical debt.

The 30% of this country that votes for racism and bigotry is the only group of people that actually see their policy positions get passed. The rest of us got garbage healthcare reform, more wars, more police state and surveillance, oh, and a genocide from the "not racist" party.

The racist bigots are the only ones with a lot of motivation to go to the polls. At least they get something for taking time off work to go vote.

https://www.salon.com/2016/02/13/un_democratic_party_dnc_chair_says_superdelegates_ensure_elites_dont_have_to_run_against_grassroots_activists/

“What do you tell voters who are new to the process who say this makes them feel like it’s all rigged?” Tapper asked the DNC chair.

“Unpledged delegates exist really to make sure that party leaders and elected officials don’t have to be in a position where they are running against grassroots activists,” Wasserman Schultz calmly explained.

Fuck Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Fuck the DNC. They literally worked against the will of the people to install an establishment candidate and told the world they did it. This is not democracy. This is the event that radicalized me.

Don't forget the Democratic National Convention ratfucking Bernie twice. Establishment Democrats can't let progressives get into power because it threatens their own, since Dems and Cons share a lot of the same donors (AIPAC, etc.).

I'm always going to be a little bit pissed off that we never got President Bernard Sanders.

America first. Where did I hear that?

[-] SirHery@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Fist in the "get fucked in the ass* konga line.

[-] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

No you mistook their meaning. They said "Us first". Everyone thought they meant the USA but the oligarchs literally mean "us".

[-] thorhop@sopuli.xyz 13 points 2 months ago

The leverage of course being switching from the US petroleum dollar to the Chinese petroleum yuan.

So much for "America first"...

[-] Asfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 months ago

You didn’t see that little wording, “American billionaires first”

[-] MousePotatoDoesStuff@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

Should have read the fine print

[-] BillCheddar@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Let their fucking billionaires pay for it. Or just keep the war going til they move. Either way, not on my goddamn tab, thanks.

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

If the US doesn't bail out the UAE they will need to sell some of their $2 trillion in assets to fund their SimCity in the dessert thats suffering because of ~~Epstein's~~ Epic ~~Fuck-up~~ Fury. A lot of those assets are in companies owned by Trump and his Oligarch friends.

Well, it's not his money he's investing but it would be him who would see a return.

I honestly wasn't sure which ruthless dictator family he was talking about...Trumps or UAE. I take it he is referring to money going to the UAE here?
