When has the US been post war? Edit: I understand what you’re sayimg now. And you’re looking for ethical capitalism, which is a weird thing to say. In other words, ethical-exploitation. Doesn’t seem like a real thing, yeah?

The only reason FDR caved as much as he did is because the US had a strong communist presence. They’ve fixed that. Your longing for the past is akin to conservatism, no?

It’s better for the locals, I suppose. Back to slowly boiling the working class, but equally terrible for the rest of the world. Especially the global south.

Which Democrats do not support capitalism? There’s no such thing as a capitalism supporting left wing. Bernie is probably the closest thing, though not a Democrat, and even he is pro-capitalism.

The status quo will get the job done. Do the same and hope for a different result. Best of luck.

Educating yourself on the atrocities commited by both the Democrats and Republicans would have you not so excited about a “blue wave.” They’re just the other right wingers.

You will not be saved by a ruling class bootlicker.

Sub in the other capitalists. That’ll fix it.

Requesting time off is just a formality. There’s no harassment for using sick leave. Around 3% raises every year, usually, it’s negotiated. We still have a pension with rule of 85. Stand by pay while on call. Full wages paid while serving on jury duty. Some rarer benefits would be around $2k paid towards hearing aids and lasik.

The ability to leave work at work is priceless. There’s a line drawn in the sand and it’s respected.

We’ve had some employees paid to retire early, but I’m unaware of any layoffs throughout the history of the company.

It’s pretty wonderful. It’s the way everyone should be treated regardless of where they’re employed. Or unemployed. The profits over people bullshit has gotten outta hand.

<3 Co-ops. I’m a union member at a co-op. It’s as good as it gets for a working class person in the US. Seeing the light was the beginning of my radicalization. Add a little theory and the great awakening was complete. 🫡

Both candidates will be terrorizing people. Terrorizing anyone is unacceptable.

Indoctrinating children is what the people you vote for do. You’re clearly not as educated as you think you are.

Your goal seems to be making it peacefulish in the US so they can get back to terrorizing the rest of the world. Filthy liberal. As long as it’s not in your streets it’s fine.

Socialism isn’t an unrealistic option, it’s already been proven to work. The US has been fighting it for years. Many have died for the ruling class to stay at the top.

You referenced liberalism (Mamdani) as a goal for your future. What you’re experiencing right now is all thanks to liberalism. You’re not helping anyone by fighting for the status quo.

An easy start would be reading Blackshirts and Reds by Michael Parenti.

The Democrats are not your allies, unless you’re an old, rich, white dude. Then they’re your best bud.

You haven’t even had enough time to comb through a small percentage of what I offered. You instead insisted that you already know everything, and something about your sexual insecurities.

Sharing information that clearly isn’t common knowledge isn’t whining about a problem. And working towards a slightly more moderate form of capitalism isn’t a solution. It’s just moderately less fascist.

Wild take. You read about the US recently killing civilians in many different countries, and that brings you to sexual insecurity? Another liberal that would rather bury their head in the sand rather than open their eyes. I wish I could say I was surprised.

The US being the largest global terrorist organization isn’t a thing of the past, it’s very much the present. Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden, and basically all before them took part in the atrocities. Yet, the solution to this problem seems to be: “vote blue no matter who.”

It’s only fine when the US is terrorizing other countries, right?

Bring the garbage to our streets and I’ll be forced to make a sign to convey my feelings outrage.

This isn’t new, and it doesn’t matter which of the two parties are in office. The US Empire is a cancer.

Or maybe there’s really no difference between the Democrats and Republicans. It’s a capitalistic show for the easily manipulated citizens of the US Empire, that have been propagandized since early on in grade school.

Go ahead and vote your way out of it.

Bless your heart. You still think the US is a democracy.

That didn’t happen with the Nazis and I doubt it’ll happen with ICE.
