Interesting claim, the Great Man Theory of Neoliberalism.
Every lefty I know certainly can’t stop talking about how much they love Carter’s 1976 political platform, which everyone remembers and cares about.

Yes, Trump is literally worse, but both parties are two sides of the same coin. You cannot save the country by electing neo-liberals, it’ll always be further right than before.

Before he died, people were always fawning over Carter. Don’t pretend that isn’t true. I always accrued downvotes for mentioning his crimes. Carter was a good person, on an individual level, but he was the first neoliberal president and the person you replied to was right to point it out.
So me saying don’t lionize Carter because he was a terrible president is the great man theory, when I’m literally saying Trump is not a special kind of unique evil…
You either don’t understand the words you’re using, or you’re purposefully being dishonest.
i actually was on wikipedia looking up an article on eastern airlines (i was watching ernest saves christmas and old things make me go down wikipedia rabbit holes) and was shocked it started in the 70s under him

The Democrats have proven over the last 50 years that they do not meaningfully oppose Republican values.
It’s time you start engaging with reality with the rest of us.

So by your logic, had Harris won the last election we would still be watching the fall of the USA and the rise of a second Nazi wave?
SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
By my logic, if Harris were elected, the vast majority of Americans would see no meaningful positive change. People would get sick of waiting for these policies that will never reach or help them by design, then they elect another Republican out of spite and apathy.
So just the same things that happened with every dem in the last 50 years.

I’ll agree with the Dems by and large being useless but if you thing there is no difference you are blind

What the democrats are doing to oppose trump (basically fucking nothing) is the most damning evidence of all, in my opinion. They are controlled opposition.

Democrats enabled him and did nothing in the gap between his first and second term to prevent him from executing the out in the open takeover plan. They did start genocide and lost the election because they ran campaign on “the most lethal military” instead of stopping the genocide, and your dumb ass still think the Democrats are you friends.

u huh
when they are dragging our asses to the camps better tell all our fellow prisoners so they can tell moral you are

I’m sure you’re really worried about being dragged to camp. Meanwhile I actually have family in ICE detention, and I lay the blame on both the fascists in charge and the idiots who still insist we should have voted for a nonviable genocidal candidate running a platform of most lethal military.
