Ah, the harm intensification strategy. You have fun with the blood of millions more minorities on your hands. I bet it'll make you feel real good - unironically, since people like you are rarely capable of self-reflection or perceiving realities uncomfortable to your preconceptions.
Yes because we all know voting solves everything and you can officially pat yourself in the back voting and take a break from doing literally any other work. You know like more importantly volunteering in your local organizations that actually handle local problems unlike the Democrats.
Pat yourself on the back knowing you did everything you could have simply by voting for the Democrats and advocating for more failed policies that haven't changed anything in the better part of 20 years.
Good to see you come found my other comment though. Must have struck a nerve.
Must be all that anxiety about the actual reality of the situation.
That's literally the opposite of what harm reduction means, but I guess the analogy in the OP was too complex for you. Sorry, I'll try to find a simpler one next time. And a spoon to feed it to you.
Do you not fucking remember what things were like 20 years ago?
Yeah women could get abortions without being prosecuted by the police, immigrants weren't harassed consistently by Department that we should never have created, and Trump was laughing stock.
Now let's look at the Democrat position 20 years ago and see what the Bill Clinton administration managed to achieve. They managed to get rid of almost all the manufacturing jobs in the United States through NAFTA. Oh that we nearly have the national debt paid off on the sweat and tears and blood of all the money that was clawed from the masses in order to do it. To be fair he was a lot cooler than trump. At least he got a blowjob in the white house without having to pay for it although he did have to abuse his position of power.?
Those the 20 years ago you were talking about?
Sure I get where you're coming from that Minority Rights have gotten better kind of but minimum wage hasn't increased, nobody can afford a house, and nobody can afford to go to school, forget trying to create a business.
Are you... are you fucking taking the piss?
... you do remember that 20 years ago was 2005, right?
Minority rights getting better is not fucking nothing, Obamacare and Medicaid expansion isn't fucking nothing, the Dems, since 2000, taking significantly more pro-labor positions than in the Clinton years isn't fucking nothing, the Dems adopted a 15$ minimum wage in their party platform isn't fucking nothing, tax credits for first-time home buyers wasn't fucking nothing, student loan forgiveness wasn't fucking nothing, proposals for massive investment in subsidies for small businesses and decreasing taxes on small businesses whilst simultaneously increasing taxes on large corporations wasn't fucking nothing.
But hey, let's electorally punish the Dems for changing for the better because it's not enough, I'm sure that will really rouse voters to become even MORE left-wing!
Yep let's continue to burn more people's Goodwill an energy on electoralism when it's been shown over and over and over again to give a completely watered-down nigh banded compromises on the problems they promise to fix. That's so much better and certainly won't lead to people getting political burnout and political apathy since nothing they're doing is changing anything.
Minority rights didn't get better because of the Democrats. It's not like they were in charge leading the whole social change to minority rights. That distinct honor goes to various socialists and anticapitalist activists like Fred Hampton, Huey Newton, Malcom X, MLK Jr.
To be honest on the years I definitely forgot that 2005 which was the Bush Administration by the way, was 20 years ago and the Democrats were more than happy to vote time and time again to bomb the shit out by iraq and Afghanistan, oh and to celebrate all of our privacy in the Patriot Act. It actually makes it easier for me because it's Democrat position in 2005 less radical than they're one in the 90s. And majorly increase police budgets which disproportionately have a negative effect on minority communities.
Now let's look at the absolutely pathetic compromise that is the ACA. First it imposed major tax penalties on anyone who couldn't afford Healthcare, secondly the ACA plans put them in competition with other corporate insurance plans and often cost the same, about the only materially good thing the ACA did was get rid of pre-existing denial clauses.
Oh yes the $8,000 to simulate the Housing Industry offered first time home buyers during the Obama administration. What a wonderful temporary reform. Too bad it doesn't help anybody today. Kind of interesting that the Democrats wouldn't do this again during the Biden Administration when housing needed to be stimulated 🤷.
You know what my favorite part of proposals are? How there's no material actions that come from these and just how ineffective they are at actually changing things you know since people ignore proposals all the time.
I'm sorry did you forget that Roe vs Wade was overturned in Bidens Administration? I wonder why the Democrats didn't do anything about it.
What else you got?
Not only is all of that directly incorrect, it comes from a fucking Nazi who supports Ukrainian genocide.
Get the fuck out of here, Nazi.
Imagine, a Nazi repeating all the usual misinformation in defense of fascist imperialism.
Fuck off, Nazi.

Maybe you should do a little more reading.🤔
From your own source:
I know you love playing apologist for the genocide of the Ukrainian people by parroting "Ukronazi" propaganda literally and directly from the Russian fascists whose boots you so adore, but I reiterate:
Their patch is literally the symbol of the SS.
And that doesn't change the fact that they do subscribe to me and I'll see ideology just because the state goes to defend them doesn't mean that it's not true.
See the USSR killed all the Nazis. And insured they felt the weight of their crimes the 11 million dead. I am sure Hitler would be proud of his little Brigade finding itself in an official government Army with no plans on stopping the ideology out.
Wonderful.
Nice 'refutation' of the quotation of your own source disproving your point.
I reiterate:
Comrade I worry about your comprehension skills if you miss these very specific quotes in the very thing that you quoted at me.
Let's not forget that it also completely backs up my previous comment.
I worry that if these are the debate skills you bring to the political stage that you will make liberals look foolish.
Nice lack of reading comprehension of what I quoted.
I reiterate:
You notice what's not in the article and what you haven't addressed is the fact that there's no plans to deal with this problem. We know it will spread.
Comrade you're blind. You should not be leading anyone let alone posting in a politics community if this is the way you debate.
Edit:
Your tolerance is going to bring us to the wolves.
