Phobic?

Next time she won’t have to ask either

They were too busy praying to Trump

far limited role

Lol. They were not only supplying them the bombs, they were refueling the bombers in flight and even bombing by themselves. If you already agree the US is culpable for the deaths in Gaza, imagine how you’ll feel if Trump adds those two ingredients to the party once more

Lol Trump was extremely happy to take part in the SuperGenocide in Yemen. If you think Biden’s aid for the Gaza attack is bad, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

Do you think there are a lot of working poor in Sweden?

I see you want to change the subject lol

Do you think Sweden has a problem with low wages?

Lots of legislative changes are enacted without mass mobilization, bomb attacks, ‘threats to capital’

You can study the evolution of paternal and maternal leave in Sweden as a nice example. The Swedes didn’t have to bomb any Ikeas - they just consistently voted for the right politicians.

He forgot

You sound more concerned about the extremely racist history of the US than how many other nations were able to cement many a workers’ right in their legislation through voting for the right policies

Not ‘harder’. Smarter, better and more consistently.

And yeah the US is the only country that never meddled in or abused other countries for economic gain, or benefitted from slavery in any way, so that’s the only one in the world where workers’ rights really count. Right

Sure. Mass movement, politicians, pen, paper, law

Leave one of those out and it probably won’t work

Well, the US only enacted it in 1937

So I only have basically all of Europe off the top of my head

And do you think it was the bombers that wrote this into law, or elected politicians?

edit: and why did other countries manage to get it into law a lot faster than the US?

I’m not talking about becoming a democracy, I’m talking about *improving *and modernizing their democracies. As well as, well, voting for and enacting all the policy examples you listed

Most other countries got there by voting people into power that wrote and voted these principles into law. Voted for people that improved their democratic processes.

If you think it doesn’t matter that you voted for the most capitalist candidate as long as you do a little Robin Hood shit on the side, you’ve seen too many movies and not enough history imo

I understand why someone who did not go to college would not necessarily understand how tariffs will raise prices or how trickle down economics has never had empirical success

And do you think it’s a good thing that this lack of understanding motivates them to go ‘pull that lever’, cancelling out your own vote?

They haven’t [x, y, z, …]

And do you feel like any of those things you want are more likely to happen with more people voting for the GOP? Is the fastest way to get there to vote for politicians that viciously oppose these measures? Do you think other countries magically got these things passed by voting against them?

Well you suggest that them lacking higher education and privilege, and being too busy with a family keeps them from seeing the same thruth that you do: that Trump’s policies are actually harmful for them. So when you ask “what have the dems done to earn their vote?”, you yourself know the answer. Do you celebrate them voting against their own interests because they’re less educated?

So, they’re idiots, but you’re not blaming them?

Lol, that’s your question after literally quoting me saying “I’m blaming Trump voters for being idiots” ?

They have not one but many levers to pull, and they chose the one that’s going to hurt them (and many others) the most. It’s like when Waze tells you you’re going to be late for your appointment you do a 180 and drive your car against traffic honking because ‘the rational option’ wasn’t going to get you there on time. Sorry for not wanting to be a passenger in that car, and calling the driver an idiot

I’m blaming them for exercising their rights? I’m blaming Trump voters for being idiots and working class Trump voters as being the biggest idiots.

It’s great you’re doing volunteer work but you sound like you consider yourself as an adult looking over mere children, apparently largely based on their skin color, and think your children should be given some slack.

They are adults, they can vote, and the GOP correctly identified that skin color is not something magical that shields them from having just as many idiots either holding strong conservative beliefs or believing in populist economic messaging. Preferably both. And if the dems aren’t handing them out any gifts because of their skin color anyway, then what exactly is left holding them from voting for the conservative party?

Now beware, before you go off accusing me again, that I’m not saying people of Latino or African American descent are somehow magically more inclined to hold conservative beliefs or otherwise being idiots. They were always there. The problem lies in the fact that now the GOP has found out they can easily target them. And in the US it always takes 2 smart people to cancel out 1 idiot, as the latter is much easier to convince to go vote.

He’s seen one too many dead baby pulled from under the rubble
