Anyone repeating Biden has the most progressive anything is either lying or has no idea what they’re talking about.
He’s a milquetoast neoliberal.
But people hate what neoliberals stand for, so they just lie about it. If you call them on it, they just start yelling about how Republicans are worse and insisting comparing them to anyone that’s not a Republican is unamerican
When did I ever say that? Please don’t paraphrase me, you aren’t very good at it.
If you were going to be honest about it, it’s much closer to, “if you want any hope of progress, you have to stay alive in the meanwhile. And if you let an authoritarian government take over, your chances of progress go way, way down.”
Sure, I get you, but I don’t know how we even begin to solve that when the US Republican Party have made it their mission to be staunchly antagonistic to anything that the Democrats advocate.
Take climate change policy, for example. One would think that every reputable scientist on Earth saying that our actions over the last few centuries are directly contributing to existentially damaging effects to our environment (on top of a clear and dangerous increase in natural disasters like hurricanes and wildfires) would be enough to convince every American that we need to do at least the bare minimum to reduce our impact on the climate. But clearly it’s not, so why?
Because the American right (which includes the Republican Party, the right-wing media, and the global billionaire class of oil tycoons and corporate execs that funds them) has decided that they’d rather turn it into yet another issue in the “culture war” that they can use to recruit the stupidest and angriest among us to be their useful idiots.
And it’s not just climate change, it’s fucking everything. The left supports LGBTQ rights, the right (including people who call themselve libertarians, somehow) are against it. The Democrats want to support Ukraine against Putin’s imperialism, the Republicans suddenly love Putin and don’t give a fuck what happens to the people that he kills. The entirety of the American right’s ideology is anti-“woke”, which just happens to mean that they’re just blindly against anything that the left happens to be for.
Yeah. Sorry about that. I think Kbin was lagging the hell out when I posted originally, I don’t know how that resulted in 3 posts but it wasn’t my intention. lol shrug

All of life is delaying the inevitable. Dying is guaranteed with living, all you can do is delay it.
What am idiotic comparison to government.
‘give up on progress, cuz you’re going to die eventually anyway.’
