    Its been 3 years of a casual stroll and a year of genocide and a mad dash to the right.

    The Duopoly is fascist and they have hordes who will dutifully do whatever their masters tell them to.

        He’s referencing the slaves used as firefighters while enslaved that are dented employment fighting fires if they survive and are released.

        You know, that insanely fucked up practice of endangering incarcerated persons in the most dangerous job possible simply to save money since they’re compensated less than $0.25/hour.

    Pfft, America has a Center-Right part and an Extreme-Right party. Just because Republicans call Dems “the left” doesn’t make them leftists.

    People are really getting sick of things like side shows, smash and grab robberies, car breakins. Small businesses are closing because of this. The Alameda County DA doesn’t want to prosecute offenders, victims feel they are not being represented. So given all that, it doesn’t surprise me at all that voters aren’t eager to do any favors for convicted criminals.

      Anytime someone says “small business” I know they’re full of shit. Define “small business” it’s just like saying “middle class” fuck off.

      You know what the most ghoulish shit is about libs? Y’all stopped pretending cruel and unusual punishment was only for rapes and murders and now stealing a sandwich is enough to get you to pay with your life’s time for a few years.

      Maybe demand all the media, agriculture and tech billionaires y’all have to stop wage theft, antitrust practices, rent/food gouging and outright contracting prison slaves and you wouldnt have so many homeless people that still have to eat and inner city youth desperate to make a dollar any way they can to escape their police-occupied communities.

        There’s a reason your position lost so badly in the polls: it’s divorced from reality. Painting every criminal as a poor hungry oppressed person just isn’t true. All the stores around me have closed because they were being repeatedly robbed by organized gangs. Anything I leave outside gets destroyed and I have to spend weeks cleaning up after sideshows pass through my neighborhood. The people doing that have plenty of money for fancy cars and expensive fireworks. They aren’t starving, they’re just shitty people who get off on making other people miserable.

        Also, nobody in my neighborhood is hungry, I work with the county food bank to make sure of that. It’s hard work but it’s the least I can do.

        Yes, slavery is wrong. However I gave up on expecting subtlety from the average voter many moons ago, and right now the population is desperate to express that just bending over and taking it from shithead gangsters is destroying low-income neighborhoods. They are tired of being lied to by people like you living in a nice rich neighborhood and imagining noble hungry people that were never the problem in the first place.

        I’m making an observation. I didn’t say how I voted, now did I? But go ahead and downvote me. ML folks.

          why are you scared to say you think incarcerated people deserve to be subjected to involuntary servitude? feels too slimy to say out loud?
