Honestly, I'm not mad, its just funny how state/corporate sponsored violence is all okay but a pleb making a joke (its not even a real threat c'mon) is not okay.

I got banned from world for similar. Also got banned for stating a fact: democrat joe Lieberman single-handedly killed the single payer option during the passage of obamacare/aca.

The libs can’t cope.

Edit for the libs:

A senator from Connecticut, the insurance capital of the world, became the industry’s go-to guy. Insurers had spent years investing in Sen. Joe Lieberman, a former Democrat-turned-Independent. During the reform debate, the watchdog group Public Campaign Action Fund, (now called EveryVoice), called Lieberman an “insurance puppet,”noting that insurers had contributed nearly half a million dollars to his campaigns over the years.

The Democrats needed Lieberman’s vote to get reform passed, and insurers knew it. Shortly before the Senate was set to vote on the bill, Lieberman said he would vote for the bill only if the public option was stripped out.

Cope and seethe libs. Your electoralism and ability to be easily fooled by the DNC’s lies but but republicans! have led us to this mess. And yes, it goes without saying the republicans are no better. But who needs enemies when one has backstabbing democrats for friends? But if we vote harder we’ll have the votes! no, you fucking won’t. Another fucking patsy will make sure to torpedo any kind of progressive legislation, anything to the left of neoliberalism. See Manchin, Sinema, and the fucking senate parliamentarian for examples.

Neo lib acolytes hate this fact lol

ACA is how we ended up here... private health insurance it not the solution. Full stop.

I see the right is trying to blame doctors and left wants to water down call for single payer/medicare for all.

Socials are starting to get suppressed too. Go to press on.

.world news modding is fucking pathetic... imagine fucking the working class this hard. disgusting.

They really do. Dude was senator of CT and bought and paid for by the insurance companies, many of whom have headquarters there (at least at the time).

Lemmy.world mods are a bunch of fucking libs. Say anything truly leftist and you’ll get a ban.

Wow, you were banned for stating a known and proven fact about Lieberman? That's actually insane

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Completely fucking insane. They wanna live in their little liberal bubble where they can just vote their way to the most moderate inconsequential reforms.

Yeah, it would have been a lot better if leftists people simply hadn't voted in the first place. Having a Republican in his seat instead would surely have improved things

It wouldn’t of changed anything. How are you not seeing the logic?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Genuinely curious what you think they should have done differently. You said that voting got us into this mess, but also that it wouldn't have changed anything. What should they do?

I mean, violent revolution is the answer, but that isn't mutually exclusive to voting

I’m saying electoralism does not work. And Americans won’t unify their labor power. Stochastic terrorism it is.
