Those aren't exclusionary statements

Trump is a symptom of the wider rot that the establishment Democrats are a part of

Yes. The pedodent is supported by the billionaire class and in turn funnels even more taxpayer dollars to then and his own family. The billionaires in turn help manufacture of amplify the conflicts he feeds upon.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

But it could be more honest. Dems suck because they're all bark and part of the problem themselves. Pelosi built a fortune on insider trading, but they keep acting like they're innocent and "helping" the avg citizen. They sure as hell not with posts like this.

Never argue with someone whose job depends on not being convinced.

What we need is people who actually write up policy proposals. It doesn't matter whether you have a senate majority, you need to write the policy proposals now. What actually changes things is societal pressure, and you only build that up by showing that another way is possible, which you show by writing down how exactly you would run an alternative society. For which you have to write down policy proposals.

The fact that Democrats don’t have a Project 2027 or Project 2029 runbook proves they don’t know what they’re doing.

The fact that Democrats don’t have a Project 2027 or Project 2028 runbook proves that they're not even trying.

This was a joke, right? Good one

Yeah, it's Trump, everything will be fine when he dies!

Trump could never have been elected without you hacks, your corruption made him possible. He could never be in any position of authority without decades of unbridled rot to pave the way... if he's the monster, you're the Dr. Frankenstein who created him.

Good job

Donald Trump is literally everything wrong with The United States of America distilled down to a person and squeezed into an ill fitting suit. All the self obsession, anti-intelectualism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, paedophilia, war mongering, greed, hate, and cruelty rolled into the ugliest person you'll ever know. Did I miss anything?

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

It's because Republicans and neoliberal democrats (the majority of them) take their marching orders from the billionaire class.

Lets concider the context:

House democrats represent the old wave democrats, whereas Nina Turner is part of the Bernie wave. The old wave is dependent on super PACs for getting elected which means they need to lick as many billionaire boots as possible. The Bernie wave is much more credible in that they rely on grass root donations instead of super PACs.

So when House democrats are saying that Trump is the issue, they are implying that if democrats are governing, then housing prices will improve. But swapping bootlickers with other bootlickers are not going to change anything.

Change require that we give the middle finger to the billionaires.

The biggest tour de force of the century so far is the billionaires who built/bought the social media’s and diverted the attention from the class war (member 2008?) to an ideology war.

They won their bet

The dummies followed and even fought for them

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

We should probably stop calling them a class and just say billionaires. Calling them a class gives them validation. They are just greedy shitty people

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

I think i disagree. 'Bilionaires' makes it seem seem like a nebulous group of individuals, like

'oh just happens to have a ton of money, you can't hold that against them without evaluating their actions as an individual'

The problem is that they are a class, or rather that the class exists as a class and that they are use their power, act as and are catered to, as a class.

If there were 100 individuals around the word who just happened to have assets valuing 1,000,000,000$ or more, even if they owned shitty companies companies and were all assholes, that would be one thing.

Assuming they not associate with each other, conspire together to warp society and governments to their shared wills etc, it would be a far different world.

If they were seen as just rare individuals, governments would not bend to their whims; one billionaire threatens to offshore his buisness unless he gets favorable laws, to ignore taxes etc, the country threatens to nationalism his buisness, or just locks his ass up. I one guy is found to be bribing one or countless politicians, thats a treasonous scandal.

When a couple dozen are making these threats in lockstep, they are holding the country's economy hostage. And when between them they are bribing all the politicians, that becomes the staus quo.

its when they act as a class that its a real problem.

I like the Epstein class because it's not just billionaires that are the problem, it's all the people who break or circumvent the law to enrich themselves or gain power.

[–] Bluedragon012@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (5 children)

The burnings will continue untill we get representation that actually aligns with the will of the people.

To be clear, i won't be me burning, nor anyone on this site; just the regular Joe who has been pushed too far. We don't even have to encourage it. The more our leaders don't listen and ultra rich greed continues the more they will happen. It is the same as: the less it rains (justice) the dryer and more flammable the ground will get. Not a threat, but the nature of humanity and society.

America is Unaffordable because of DONALD TRUMP!

-People who Voted in FAVOR of Donald Trump's Policies!

And then they go and vote down a bill to stop the war in Iran.

For anyone unfamiliar with Nina Turner, she has run for Congress before and the Democrats united against her.

They did the same to Bernie and the NYC mayor.

Trump is part of the billionaire class having stolen the reins of government that allows him to steal our tax money for his personal use

[–] Teppa@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (3 children)

They're billionaires because of monetary policy, Elon Musk and Tesla wouldnt be worth so much if inflation didnt reward risky assets and provide an unlimited runway to profitability. We bid up asset prices until prices rise 2% a year; prices that exclude assets like housing, subjective hedonic downward adjustments of goods prices, and substitutions/shrinkflation.

Blame the rich if you want, I blame the unelected central bank thats debasing your paycheck with 7% annual money supply growth, QE, and bailouts. If the money supply didnt grow every year you wouldnt need to beg your boss for a cost of living adjustment that doesnt match reality. Our parents ate free range grass fed meat, we eat corn fed factory farm troglodytes, and our children will eat highly processed imitation meat slop, and the CPI will mark no difference between the three.

Tesla would be worth basically nothing if the federal government weren't artificially propping them up by banning Chinese EVs.
