It's pretty fuckin' pathetic watching everyone nod along with these, the most insulted of petty tyrants, as they try to actively destroy one of the most progressive presidents in modern history.
I'm just a leftist, once again asking other leftists why they aren't supporting the most pro-union President since FDR as he's attacked by a bunch of truly awful billionaires
Iunno, it probably has something to do with all the horrible policies he's done, and also no leftist is actually "letting Trump" do anything, most of us are against the entire system and think that it should be dismantled, but also that in this system that we have Joe Biden is clearly doing poorly.
No leftist is saying "let Trump win".
What we are saying is "I am not going to help Biden win because of genocide, etcetera" and "Biden is very demonstrably doing terrible and should make efforts to enact popular policies instead of the unpopular and Trumpian ones if he wants to win".
He did those, most leftists didnt care/notice. ppl complained about $600 checks while most families were receiving $300 per kid per month. Like ppl still say he fucked over the railroads. The idea that leftists would rally behind him if he adopted good policies is not supported by the past 4 years
If he had enacted popular policies then his disapproval would not be at 57.1%, which is a hair under Trump's disapproval at its highest.
The notion that we all are simply demanding ponies while living in a booming economy is completely delusional and at odds with lived experience.
A majority of people say they're doing well or excellently. But a majority also thinks everyone else is struggling & things are getting worse. Why would they respond approvingly to popular policies if they think people are still suffering?
Portland is flooded with unhoused people and I'm on the verge of being one of them. *I* am the one suffering. Everyone I know is suffering. I think the demographic of people who are going to answer a fucking phone survey are doing better, not the poors doing Doordash and OnlyFans.
I'm terribly sorry to hear that you're suffering greatly. If you've already contacted local Democrats about your situation and they still haven't helped, then I can see why you've lost faith in the party as a whole.
The local Dems absolutely do not give a shit, and frankly I find the "I'm sorry you're suffering, have you talked to the local dems about it?" insulting
You know what the Democrat mayor was doing three years ago? He was tear gassing people and sending in the cops that crippled my roommate's knee
What exactly do you want me to do? Call the DSA and tell them I need help paying rent? Do you think that's going to work? I can't even figure out which rental assistance program I'm supposed to be contacting or how. Since sites just loop in a circle.
ding ding ding! you've found the correct response to your own bullshit. support the DSA all you want (I do!) but admit they won't solve any problems better than Biden has.
