Or is he just a standard politician? Because AOC is a Democrat. Omar is a Democrat. Sanders is a Democrat.

Standard politicians are a bipartisan problem, and neither party has what can be considered a clean slate in context of all of American history.

•Following the civil rights movement, the majority of people who refused to pretend that a law righting a systemic injustice was somehow also forcing an unjust burden on society were mainly Democrats, but that was mainly a result of a lot of people switching parties as part of the southern strategy.

The Republican party at the time justified the use of the southern strategy to gain votes, but some of those people who switched to the Republican party, had previously supported desegregation. They just thought winning an election was more important than their own values.

•Before the civil war, southern Democrats were primarily the main supporters of slavery and claimed states rights should allow them to continue slavery even after it was abolished.

•Since 2025, the Republican party has been weaponizing the federal government to stir up a second civil war, and undo those allegedly “unfair burdens to society and communities,” they claim the civil rights act caused “unfair financial burdens” by forcing public schools to obey the civil rights laws that were created to address discrimination. (It’s a bullshit argument, but especially dumb when you’re also shutting down the department of education and all other federal resources available to the schools you claim are being unfairly burdened. But, since the actual goal is to destroy America, why expect anything to make any fucking sense).

They are also using the civil rights act as a shield to do the bullshit they’re doing (like demanding states hand over voter registration rolls along with last 4 digits of ssn and drivers license numbers) by claiming it grants the federal government sweeping authority and the right to strip away autonomy from state and local governments.

Aside from the fact that anyone should sort of inherently understand the difference between a federal government justifying intervening at a state or local level to protect equality for all of it’s citizens (bc of a government isn’t doing this, then why the fuck do you think it’s supposed to exist in the first place?) vs intervening to undo those protections, and violate the constitutional rights and privacy of all of it’s citizens, this passive aggressive bullshit also really glosses over the fact that that can be boiled down to the supreme court and federal government finally telling wealthy individuals who ran private segregation academies, fine, you can continue to discriminate and be shitty but we can’t keep giving you tax exemption while you do it. You have to pick one or the other.

Two things wealthy people in this country hate more than anything else: 1. Being told they can’t be rewarded for discrimination and 2. Paying their fair share of taxes like everyone else.

And so began the past 50+ years of advertising lies, disinformation, and culture wars that brings us right back into the absolute stupidity that is present day America once again on the brink of a civil war.

To this very day, the wealthiest people who continue to exploit and bleed America and all Americans dry, while destroying our constitutional rights and liberties along with our standard of living, will gladly dump insane amounts of money into an advertising campaign spreading lies and misinformation, in order to fight the “unjust burden” of just paying their fucking taxes and being told they have to follow the law like everyone else.

I don’t know much about Burke, but my very limited understanding is that he was staunchly anti-egalitarian (and seemed to base his claims on the idea that the French revolution proved liberalism was inherently dangerous), so for him, the right person would have to be somebody who was opposed to any policy that promotes equality.

Obviously the label of Democrat has not held up the principles the party claimed, but progressive coalitions within the democratic party have. People like Jefferies don’t seem to have much of an ideology other than promoting what they’re being paid to advertise.

Basically, they’re for sale to the highest bidder. I don’t think that person would have to be an actual technocrat, whether you mean the idea of somebody with knowledge based on educational background and experience, or just somebody with wealth like Thiel/Musk/Bezos who sort of purchased the label of technocrat for themselves despite not really having any qualifications to make them an expert in what they want to be handed control over.

Jeffries suuuuucks.

It’s absolutely wild. Dems set all of this up, Trump exploits it so that capitalism can grow recklessly, Dems pretend to hem and haw about how horrible this is, they get back into power, they do nothing except continue funding ICE and the genocide.

Exactly my point. They are complicit in what’s happening now, if you’ve paid even just a little bit of attention.

I mean, if you believe the Dems will actually follow through with this, after 2 decades of record funding, no material changes to how ICE operates, record deportations under Dem leadership, and 75+ dems currently cheering on ICE … well, I have a bridge to sell you.

To address your attempted dig at me, it comes from actually reading books instead of consuming western propaganda media, which is owned and operated by the same billionaire oligarchs who are pulling the strings on your beloved Dems (and Reps).

Now, kindly get blocked. kthanxbai

Both sides? Motherfucker are you paying attention? They’re all on the same side. It’s us against them.
