we’re just going to risk handing power over to another Sinema
I remember being very excited for the Obama presidency in 2008, and then as the years wore on he showed himself to be a billionaires’ president the same way Sinema showed herself to be a fascist. He expanded the US war presence throughout the world, legalized torture, militarized the police, brutalized Occupy, and made absolutely sure that the big banks didn’t suffer any negative repercussions for destroying the economy. He had the power to codify Roe and didn’t do it. He had the power to enact universal health care but opted to side with the billionaires and make it more expensive instead. He could have filled a SCOTUS seat but was more concerned about counting his money than fighting for the nomination.
That’s what we’re getting with Harris. She’ll say nice things, and while we won’t see her killing our citizens in the same way as a Putin or an Assad, her neglect will accomplish the same result, as it has since the last president we had that gave a shit about people: LBJ.
I understand why conservatives are excited for Trump and the lite-conservatives are excited for Harris, but we’re sitting on nearly two decades of a $7 minimum wage, so I don’t know how anyone who works for a wage can be excited about more Democratic or Republican rule.
