Eugene V. Debs' Ghost

I do not owe kindness to those who oppress others. I will assume good faith and intelligence until proven otherwise.

    • It’s not my fault I told protestors to shut up!
    • It’s not my fault I took weeks to get a platform onto my website!
    • It’s not my fault I didn’t want to distance from an unpopular president!
    • It’s not my fault that people told me that courting Republicans alienates our Democratic voter base, and Republicans would never vote for a Democrat, let alone a brown woman!

    I was the chosen candidate by the DNC, I know what the public wants! And it’s not my fault I didn’t like what internal polling told me!



















  • The sad thing is, most of us (Americans on Lemmy/Piefed) are probably not going to see why we need social security.

    It’s basically a government ran pension plan if you can’t work. Most of us can work and are. So we don’t see why we invented it during the great depression to aid in a social safety net when shit goes south.

    And Trump is most likely going to continue plummeting shit into an economy as bad as the Great Depression. Some already had the question of “Do I eat today or do I save up to pay for rent this month?” And Trump isn’t the person to solve it, only make it worse.

    Most of us probably don’t claim the funds from it, and go “Oh this is just for the elderly, not for me. I’m 20 to 30 something and able bodied, this is for when I’m 60 something and walking with a cane.”

    When Trump guts it and if we have any resemblance of the federal government when we need Social Security, this will probably have lasting effects when we need to claim our benefits.

    And the even sadder part, all of his voting base will just nod along. “The gubberment took money from muh paycheck, says so here in muh paystub, fucking woke commie Democrats. Da woke took muh $100 a month, I had to spend that on Trump hats!”
