I also saw that while he was on his feet making himself visible, the committee that he normally chairs was digging into the same tech bros who put money in his pocket.
It’s no wonder that American voters didn’t want to vote for the Bourgeois Liberal Party, even though the alternative was literal Fascism.
The Democrats have constantly misread the situation very badly. For the typical voter, not the bourgeois liberals, not the MAGA brain-rotted dummies but the average poor working class voter the choice was:
Vote Liberal Bourgeois and maybe things might tick along for another couple of years with the rich bourgeois liberals profiting off you and telling you how good you’ve got it
Vote Trump, you’ll definitely be fucked but all the bourgeois liberals will be fucked as well.
I mean sanity suggests that the first offer meets the self-preservation criteria better but it’s not what you call an attractive offer, is it?
I can’t pretend that I know for a 100% sure that they will be. But the signs are not great. Also Tax Cuts for the Rich didn’t go all that well when Liz Truss tried it here in the UK.
The bourgeoisie will get yet another economic crash to scoop up assets on the cheap, further consolidating wealth and power in the hands of a few. I really don’t see how this hurts anyone but the working class.
Hurts the petit bourgeoisie, which is the only ones the working class see. Also, because Trump is a vengeful narcissist, you can bet that certain sections of the liberal elite are going to get a coating.
Edit: just finished writing this and happened across this meme which probably puts the case to you better than I could:
luxury space capitalism for the rich; the global south (especially the gazans) were never intended to be with us in the future and the democrats proved it.

Well, they’re proud now. In the time we have left.

How do you figure?
I don’t understand the question.

The “offer” was sane, competent, if not luxury-gay-space-communism government vs. chaos, insanity, and death.
That was the “offer”.
If sane and competent gets you a decline in living standards year on year then it ain’t all that attractive.
luxury space capitalism for the rich; the global south (especially the gazans) were never intended to be with us in the future and the democrats proved it.
If your definition of a ‘sane, competent’ government is one that continues to rabidly support an ongoing genocide, I want none of it.
Good news for you then
