if only Dems coordinated their messaging, then the secret powers of passing legislation without a majority or impeaching the president by snapping loudly would manifest.

damn them for not implementing the quick fix solution to 50 years of republican control that i just came up with in the shower!

i like to remind them that the ACA took 30 years to pass because bernie sanders spent all his energy complaining about how it was a sell out back in the 90s when it was hillarycare.

but at least he got the media attention he was looking for, cause after all that's what progress really is

this is one of those accounts that's so banal in it's 'political posting' that you have to kinda question whether or not it's a real person

the numbers i've seen are a few hundred billion, not trillions. but it is paying down the debt.

the problem is that it isn't even enough to cover the interest payments on existing debt, let alone stop us from needing to borrow more just to stay afloat.

& jobs numbers have nothing to do with this

Also just for the record, the power that corporations have to act as legal human entities comes from congress, not from ‘capitalism’ - ergo the point that regulation and good government is the solution and not being mad at an economic theory

jeanbaudrillard.bsky.social @jeanbaudrillard.bsky.social · 2d

Debate what? Other than wanting to show you’re mad at an idea of capitalism, I can’t follow anything here

jeanbaudrillard.bsky.social @jeanbaudrillard.bsky.social · 2d

No, cause you sound like you’re typing this from memory.

The first corporation predated capitalism by a few hundred years. And slavery predated that by a few thousand. What are you talking about?

jeanbaudrillard.bsky.social @jeanbaudrillard.bsky.social · 2d

China considers itself communist and yet it produces more industrial pollution than most other countries on earth. Doesn’t that make communism incapable with modernity?

Point is that no matter what name you give
It, the solution is better government

jeanbaudrillard.bsky.social @jeanbaudrillard.bsky.social · 2d

I’m not following. Romans bought and sold humans for money in a system that looked nothing like capitalism.

Poli sci majors usually stop using ‘the lesser of two evils’ after their sophomore year of college, just an fyi

Nothing says ‘I have a thoughtful take’ quite like accentuating it with an animated gif
