The constant successes of China are the only thing that have given me anything even resembling hope since Bernie lost in 2016, and then briefly again when there was that 3 week period where all the polls said he’d sweep the 2020 election (you know, before super Tuesday when everyone but Warren dropped out and endorsed Biden but Warren was all OHHHH I DUNNOOOOOO)
nobody needs to tell me the ways Bernie sucks, I already know
Remember Warren not only refused to drop out, but made up some lie about Bernie being sexist to her. Such a fucking , I can’t believe I know “progressives” who still like her
This is what I tell boomers: Millennials and younger in the west have never lived to see lives around them significantly improve or even get richer. I’m promised capitalism is at least as bad as a “boom and bust” cycle but after over three decades, I’m not far from half my life expectancy, and I’m still waiting on seeing what a boom or a general increase in living standards looks like.
Not having to worry about falling through the cracks, or where the next meal is coming from, or what will happen to me if I get sick. The biggest worry is that the country with the world’s biggest nuclear arsenal, and the only country to ever use one, wants to solve its economic problems by destroying my economy.

I swear, I’m stuck in podunk Ohio and everything feels almost exactly the same as it did in the 2000s, except everything got uglier.
that’s because you haven’t bootstrapped your way into owning a jet ski dealership so that you can live the american dream

it’s the only thing keeping me going at this point, that there still exists places in the world where good things are possible
