Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private

Neither of the halfs of the Duopoly are interested in making the necessary changes to improve people’s lives unless those people are rich.

Make it make sense… You are telling me that citizens would have the same quality of life right now and no more to fight for than they currently do under the current administration, had Harris have won? I find that incredibly difficult to believe.

If Harris won then it’s 4 more years of no tangible positive change, then the electorate becomes frustrated and votes in the Republican fascist. Republicans win because Dems fail to improve things.
You are operating in this weird idyllic neolib space where you think a party is their policies, in the real world a party is what they can actually accomplish.
And you don’t seem to realize that when everything exclusively gets worse, and never better, every year, then people are not going to care how worse it gets. They will instead detach from the broken system where everything only gets worse.
I would have preferred Kamala by a ton, voted for her. But I’m not deluding myself into thinking she would make anything better, because that requires forcing her doners to lose money, and she won’t do that, no Democrat will.

Nah, it’s just a modicum of critical thinking. “Would I rather have things stay the same, or maybe get slightly worse; or have things rocket to the bottom as fast as possible?”
To say the Democratic party is just as bad as the Republican party is so incredibly stupid. Like, look at the track record of the two and tell me that the dems have caused as much damage as the Republicans, or that on a global scale right-wing politics has brought about more positivity than left-wing politics.
I don’t think Kamala would have made things better than they were, but I don’t think anybody would. But I so think she would have made things significantly better than they are right now under Trump… But all those people trying to say “tHeYrE bOtH the SaMe” got what they wanted, and hopefully they’re enjoying what they’re getting. I certainly don’t think they’re anywhere near the same.
