    Reading this is what I imagine it would feel like Iike to try one of those "serve a hundred year prison sentence in an hour" sci fi drugs

    In my fantasies all that happens and then a drone bombs the house with a bunker buster but the dogs lived because they were on a walk with the dog nanny.

    this is cringe and awful, but at least its not that one tweet disgustingly describing joe and jill's hypothetical sex life :bern-disgust: someone needs to be thrown into Horny Reeducation Gulag for that shit

    Imagine thinking these guys are likable and have normal social lives. And imagine even knowing the name of Kamala's husband, let alone having a cutesy nickname for him.

      Imagine thinking these guys are likable and have normal social lives.

      The post sets them up as members of the carefree leisure class, to which they have all aspired. They do all kinda live this way. Buttigieg's job is to do photo-ops and get sucked off by Wired. Michelle does the talk-show circuit to sell ghost-written books while Jill bounces from one foreign dignitary's wedding to another's funeral. Kamala's entire job is to show up at big events and just kinda stand around.

      I'm sure there's wine at all of these events. Idk about the potluck part. None of these people cook for themselves.

        I still highly doubt hanging out with Mayo Pete or a Biden who barely knows where he is is fun.

          Pete sounds like the most annoying climber you can imagine.

          But even Old Joe strikes me as fun, when he isn't just drooling aggressively.

      Nope.

      These kinds of people will side with capital every day of the week and twice on Sunday. After reading some of Trotsky’s history of the revolution, I’m becoming sllllightly more positive about the prospects for eventual revolution in the US. It will happen when the working class here has finally had enough, when we’ve been pushed far enough. And while I think American workers do just take a lot of shit from capital, I think there will come a day capital pushes too far. But it’s almost certainly not going to be the entirety of the working class. Conservative petite boug types, white evangelicals, and liberal labor aristocrats will be the kulaks of that time. If there’s to be revolution, the heart of that revolution will be amongst to workers who experience the most oppression from capital: immigrants, POC, LGBTQ folks, etc. Libs like here will never convert.

      (Sorry for the sincere posting, just had this rattling in my brain at the moment)

    Part of why this feels bad to look at is, I have to believe that these people all secretly hate each other, because otherwise they have no human traits at all.

    And the used dishes are taken away by Trump a la Biff at the end of Back to the Future and everyone clapped.
