A broken tool is no tool at all

I can tell you've never had to sweep or shovel with something when half the haft is gone. Or tear the lid off a garbage can because the mechanism to lift the lid stopped working.

That's what I've always had to work with when it comes to representatives in this country. It's cuz you and your neo liberal Democratic friends think the rest of us don't deserve working equipment. Only your Rich donors do.

Do you actually think the person you're replying to has a bunch of neoliberal Dem friends? Do you really believe they have rich donors?

I see this here on lemmy a lot and I'm sorry to tell you no one with the power to do anything is here so you're wasting your energy lecturing. But you got to feel smug and superior so I guess that's something.

It doesn't matter whether they do personally, what matters is that they're carrying the flag for those that do. He believes what they believe. He does what they tell them. What difference is it to me if he's just a dupe or not?. That ideology should just be allowed to spread without challenge? Who does that serve except the neoliberal elite?

Seems like you're just assuming a lot of stuff about someone and that's not at all how I interpreted their statement. Have a nice one.
